Drai’s Weekend Recap: Dada Life and Migos (6/29), Akon (6/30)
by DRAI’S / July 2, 2018
Another spectacular weekend has come and gone here in Las Vegas, and it was another memorable one to say the least. We started it off Saturday with Dada Life heating things up as always at Drai’s Beachclub, followed by the always showstopping Migos performing later that night at Drai’s Nightclub, and Sunday evening we saw Akon closing the weekend out with a bang! We had a number of special guests including Floyd Mayweather, NFL players Kawann Short and Tyrann Mathieu, hip-hop group Travis Porter, and much more celebrating the weekend!
It was a gorgeous, sunny Saturday afternoon to get wet and wild to. “This is our nation, Vegas I want you to put your hands up! This is our nation, and this… is Dada Life!” Stefan of Dada Life never fails to get the crowd amped up, starting it off with “Our Nation” for the Dada Nation. “I want everyone in the water to go f’n bananas, let’s do this! Hold up your hands and get ready, hold them up! Are you ready?!” as partygoers certainly made a splash in all of our pools! The good vibes kept on going with drinks flowing, beach balls in the air, Dada merch being given out, and celebrations all over the place! Dada Life played popular dance hits “I Like It Loud,” “Sphinx,” “Disco Weapon” and plenty more to get the crowd up and dancing. “I see every one of you, you’re so beautiful! I want all the bananas on stage, you’re way too beautiful!” and sure enough they made their way on stage, providing a much-needed champagne shower to Dada hits “Tonight We’re Kids Again,” “Born to Rage” and “I Don’t Care About You”! What else can we say? It was just BANANAS! Dada Life will be back here Saturday, August 25! Click here for tickets.
The Saturday momentum continued later that night, as eager Migos fans made their way up to Drai’s Nightclub for another sold out show! Quavo swiftly asked the crowd “Las Vegas, if you came from out of town and you ready to party in Vegas, can I get a ‘yessir!'” as the trio started it off with “Higher We Go” into “Supastars” to roaring cheers across the venue. It was pandemonium everywhere you looked with bottle presentations left and right, tables making it rain, and everyone just having a blast! Migos performed “Hannah Montana” and “Fight Night” for the day 1 fans, then going into Culture standouts “Slippery,” “T-Shirt,” and of course “Bad and Boujee” — “Where’s all the bad and boujee ladies at tonight?!” asked DJ Durel as screams filled the air. They closed their performance off in style performing Culture II hits “Narcos,” “MotorSport” and “Stir Fry,” keeping the party going strong as revelers sang along to each word. The Migos will make their return to Drai’s Nightclub on Friday, July 20! Click here for tickets.
For another special edition of #SunDraisWithDJFranzen, we had the one and only Akon making his grand return to the Drai’s LIVE stage! Being the hottest Sunday party destination on the Strip, it was a packed house as Akon fans made their way to the dance floor. “What up Drai’s? I said what up Drai’s?!” as Akon made his way on stage fittingly starting it off with “We Takin’ Over”! Everyone was treated to Akon performing classic club-bangers like “I Wanna Love You,” “Smack That,” “Dangerous” and much more. “There’s a lot of beautiful women in here tonight! Ladies lemme hear you say ‘ahh!’ Y’all wanna turn up or what?!” as he then took his shirt off, with all the girls screaming! He had an endless supply of chart-toppers being brought out, from “Right Now,” “Bartender” to “I Just Had Sex,” putting a smile on everyone’s faces. “Lemme get a bottle of champagne real quick! I just wanna drink some champagne with y’all real quick!” before performing “Disrespectful,” then taking it to the next level by spraying the fans! Akon was feeding off the incredible energy all night, and couldn’t help but stage dive to the crowd during “Til the Sun Rise Up” — you had to be here to witness the insanity!
