Our very own Drai’s resident DJ Maria Romano took some time to discuss her DJing career, the big move to Vegas, how Drai’s changed the game, and more in an exclusive sit-down with local city magazine Las Vegas Weekly. “Drai’s started the whole trend in Las Vegas with bringing the hip-hop artist back onto the Strip and paying them good money to perform,” she says when talking about her being an open format DJ in Las Vegas, and the impact hip-hop has made. “It’s good for me, because hip-hop is my base, and it’s probably the No. 1-played genre right now.” She also touches on the differences of the nightlife industry here compared to her native Pennsylvania: “The level here is so much bigger than it is back home. Everybody is on vacation and ready to have a good time.” You can catch DJ Maria Romano playing the hottest in today’s music during Imagine Tuesdays at Drai’s After Hours, as well as at the best night clubs in Vegas on a weekly basis.

When it comes to bringing top live talent to the masses, Drai’s Nightclub continues to stay ahead of the curve in Las Vegas – DJ Pauly D kick started the weekend for us Friday night, and Saturday was fan-favorite Nelly back on the world-famous Drai’s LIVE stage! Partygoers need look no further than coming here for their weekend on the Strip as we continue to heat things up this winter.

The Friday night turn-up was here as DJ Pauly D brought the house down from start to finish! People already know it’s going to be a blast when Pauly’s in charge, with fans from all over filling up the dancefloor ready to let loose for the weekend. He was seen proudly representing Las Vegas wearing a Golden Knights jersey, mixed with a pair of Balenciaga Triple S sneakers from the fashionable guido. Pauly showcased his impressive open format style on the Drai’s LIVE stage, playing the hottest in hip-hop, EDM, Latin and everything in between, getting everyone up and dancing all night long. Some notable mixes include “Uproar,” “Taki Taki,” “Missing You,” “ZEZE” and many more, all backed by our lovely Drai’s Dirty Dancers on stage! “I love Vegas this time of year! If Pauly D is your friend make some noise!” Pauly of course took a moment to step up front to happily greet his fans, and then later turned into a light show as we dimmed the lights and handed out foam LED sticks to everybody on the dancefloor – another one for the books here at Drai’s!

As for Saturday, Drai’s resident Nelly drew in a sold out crowd – they were in for a memorable night and you can feel the incredible energy and good vibes from the get go! The St. Louis rapper was all smiles and couldn’t help but hop on stage before his set, saying hello to everybody and even borrowing our photographer’s camera for some POV shots! Nelly and members of the St. Lunatics warmed up the audience with “Uproar” followed by “E.I.,” as cheers and screams filled the air – “West Coast, where y’all at?! I wanna thank y’all for being here tonight at Drai’s. I’ve been doing this for 20 years, and I wanna talk to everyone that’s been with Nelly since day 1!” He then took us all the way back to 2000 as he performed his breakout single “Country Grammar” as fans sang along to every word. Performing hit after hit, Nelly took a moment to bring out country star Brian Kelley on stage to show some love and appreciation to the fellow collaborator! The highlights didn’t stop there as he closed it out with his #1 smash hit “Hot in Herre” into “Dilemma,” inviting a bride to be up on stage for an intimate duet. Nelly kept the party going as he hung out on stage afterwards for pictures and to greet as many people as he can, always showing love and appreciation every time here at Drai’s Nightclub!

Fall is officially here, but Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub continues to bring the heat with exclusive, full-length performances in Las Vegas! This time we got it started on Friday afternoon with a special edition of Drai’s Beachclub, as JusCollege took over the rooftop venue with BENZI; later that night was the return of Nelly at Drai’s Nightclub; and Saturday evening was the official album release party for DIME TRAP, with TIP live in concert at the Drai’s LIVE stage!

Based on the photos alone, you wouldn’t be able to tell if this was a scene from spring break or not — it was that wild on the rooftop of The Cromwell Friday afternoon! College students from across the U.S. came out to party one last time for dayclub season at Drai’s Beachclub, in partnership of JusCollege, as our very own BENZI held it down all day. The venue was jam-packed from start to finish, with every cabana and bungalow filled with partygoers — drinks were flowing all day as people made a splash all around our many sparkling pools; it was just nonstop fun everywhere you looked! BENZI kept the madness alive as he played the best dance, alternative and hip-hop mixes, from Sheck Wes’ “Mo Bamba” to Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” and everything in between. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to wrap up our incredible 2018 dayclub season, and would like to thank you all for making it so memorable — we’ll see you again next summer for even more amazing performances and surprises!

Friday night saw the return of Nelly at the Las Vegas night club, always bringing in an enthusiastic crowd to keep the good vibes going. This time he was seen wearing a fashionable Fendi “Monster Eyes” shirt, rounded out with a clean pair of Air Jordan 3 “White Cements” as he started us off with “E.I.,” “Knuck If You Buck” and “Air Force Ones,” with fans cheering as loud as they can! “I wanna thank y’all for being here tonight. Shout out to Drai’s, shout out to the West Coast! Thank y’all for holding it down with me for 18, 19, 20 years — I wanna know who’s been riding with Nelly since day 1! Let’s take it back to memory lane…” The Drai’s resident then performed his breakout 2000 debut single “Country Grammar” as everyone sang along to the classic, happily shaking hands with his fans on the dance floor. Nelly effortlessly blended other rap hits like “Plug Walk,” “All I Do Is Win,” and “Grove St. Party” with his own bangers like “Ride Wit Me,” “Grillz,” “The Fix” and more! Nelly closed it out with fan-favorites “Hot in Herre” and “Dilemma,” as all the ladies sang with the St. Louis rapper for a duet.

Drai’s Nightclub was proud to be hosting TIP’s official album release party for DIME TRAP, his long-awaited 10th studio album that came out earlier this month. As with any TIP show it was a packed house with bottle presentations, tables making it rain, and partygoers up and dancing the night away! “If you love trap music make some noise!” The trap king came out to “Top Back” and “Rubberband Man,” setting the mood just right for this epic evening. “Who’s been down with the king since day 1? I truly appreciate the love, but there’s a few that still don’t know me…” and just in case there were a few that needed a friendly reminder, TIP made sure no one will forget as he performed “U Don’t Know Me” as cheers filled the air. “Look, I dunno if it’s just me but I see a lot of fresh faces out here tonight! I just wanna know if I can holla at you for a minute!” TIP reached his hand out to the dance floor as he brought out “Let’s Get Away,” “Why You Wanna,” “No Mediocre” and “Whatever You Like” for all the lovely ladies screaming and singing along. “The DIME TRAP is everywhere right now; if y’all wanna hear some new s*** make some noise!” His latest singles “Wraith” and “Jefe” were next, followed by an array of chart-toppers to get the hype rolling. TIP concluded his show with a bang with “What You Know” and “ATM,” keeping the party going well into the night. “DIME TRAP out now — it’s the KING b****!”

There was no better place to bid farewell to the summer season in Las Vegas than here at Drai’s Beachclub Nightclub, once again being the place to be and be seen to party all weekend long! Friday night was the grand return of Yo Gotti to the Drai’s LIVE stage, TroyBoi took over Drai’s Beachclub for his final show here Saturday afternoon, and later that night we had Fabolous shut it down for us in a big way. Special guests that came out included boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, NBA player Josh Smith, TMZ’s Van Lathan, and many more!

Friday at Drai’s Nightclub got off to an amazing start as we kicked off the inaugural autumn weekend, with the one and only Yo Gotti delivering a stellar performance for fans and partygoers alike. We had both DJ Franzen and DJ Blak getting the crowd going backed by our mesmerizing Drai’s Dirty Dancers on stage, as bottle presentations and tables making it rain only added to the incredible ambiance! “I represent the three letters: CMG!” Yo Gotti made a statement as he began his set with “F*** You” followed by “I Got the Sack,” as cheers filled the air across the jam-packed venue. “Las Vegas make some noise! Shout out to the real girls in the building — what’s up, shortie?” Gotti asked a few lucky ladies one by one on the dancefloor where they were from and had some fun interactions with the crowd, making their evening that much more memorable throughout the show — “shout out to all the real girls in the building!” He then performed “5 Star,” “They Like,” and “Women Lie, Men Lie” for all the real ones in the club, getting everyone to sing along! Yo Gotti concluded his set with fan-favorite “Rake It Up,” “Juice” and “1942,” and happily hung out on stage afterwards to greet as many fans as possible!

Drai’s Beachclub continues to be the hottest dayclub destination on the Strip, featuring the return of TroyBoi as he took over Saturday afternoon for us one last time for the summer season! Fans made sure to catch him one last time here on the rooftop venue, getting everyone to turn up as he brought the very best in dance, house and trap music. He was accompanied by a talented troupe of b-boys as they brought some jaw-dropping moves for the masses. It felt like summer was far from over with perfect weather, people in the pools and private bungalows making a splash, and good vibes all day long! TroyBoi looked fashionably sharp as always with his keen sense of style, this time rocking a pair of Jordan 1 x Off-White “Powder Blue” sneakers to go along with his Off-White camo pants. He began his set real strong by “F***** S*** Up” into “Hustle and Flow,” followed by a “Bad and Boujee” remix exclusively from the man himself. Troy effortlessly blended today’s top bangers with some classic ’90s jams, bringing some of his signature London sounds to the mix as well! His standalone singles “KinjaBang,” “Flamez” and “Afterhours” really turned things up a notch as he closed his show out, thanking everyone that came out — “Mad love Vegas, until next time!!”

Later that evening was Fabolous at Drai’s Nightclub, putting on a show for fans to remember. Our very own DJ Franzen set the mood for the nearly sold out night, and it was a celebration everywhere you looked! Fabolous’ DJ Boof warmed the crowd up like no other with his energetic mic presence, playing some of the best in old school and current hits. Fab started his show off with quite the “Lituation” on stage, followed by “She Wildin” to send the crowd into a frenzy! “Hold up, it’s 2018 — if you having a good ass year make some noise right now!” With a seemingly endless amount of chart-toppers aimed at the ladies, it wouldn’t be a Fabolous show without some extra attention to them — “Is there any independent women tonight?!” All the girls screamed and sang along to “Superwoman,” “Into You,” “Can’t Let You Go,” “You Be Killin Em” and much more! The birthday people didn’t get left out either, surprising all the Libras with “Say Aah” as smoke and confetti was all in the air — it was a beautiful sight as people cheered, danced, and popped bottles! Loso closed it out with a bang as he performed “Boo’d Up” and recent single “Ooh Yea,” even inviting Aaron aka the Mask-Off Mascot for some fancy footwork on stage — “I just wanna turn up with Vegas one time!” Fabolous couldn’t help but stick around on stage afterwards to shake hands with the crowd and turning up to “Sicko Mode, “Big Bank,” and “Dreams and Nightmares,” keeping the party going well into the night!

The big festival weekend in Las Vegas has come and gone, and attendees from across the world made sure to check out Drai’s Beachclub Nightclub for the very best live talent experience the Strip has to offer! We kicked things off Friday night with an incredible performance from Nelly, Saturday afternoon saw Destructo shut it down at Drai’s Beachclub, and later that evening was the highly-anticipated return of R&B singer Ty Dolla $ign.

Nelly fans came out strong for Friday at Drai’s Nightclub, making it a packed house early on the evening — everyone just felt the positive energy and had a blast from beginning to end! He got the eager crowd going with “E.I.,” “Shake Ya Tailfeather” and “Batter Up” — “Shout out to Drai’s right now! The entire West Coast! I wanna thank each and every one of y’all for coming out; where my day 1’s at?! Understand, I’m the only artist to have the number 1 rap single, pop single, country single, dance single, R&B single!” The nearly sold out venue cheered on as they rapped along to his endless catalog of classics. You’ll never know what Nelly has up his sleeve when he’s on the Drai’s LIVE stage, this time switching it up a bit by performing “Smile,” “Grove St. Party,” “Big Bank” and some “Sexual Healing” for all the lovely ladies! “Listen, I wanna do some new s***! When I say ‘all work,’ you say ‘no play’!” fans gladly obliged as he then brought out one of his recent singles “All Work No Play.” As if it couldn’t get any crazier, things really started to heat up with fan-favorite “Hot in Herre,” absolutely getting everyone to ‘get up up on the dance floor’! Nelly then slowed things down for the ladies and made one very lucky fan’s entire night by inviting a bride to be up on stage to sing along “Dilemma” — everyone was all about it and happily sang along to the slow jam with her! As the show came to an end, he was more than happy to greet and shake as many hands as possible to his fans and partygoers — “Again I wanna thank y’all for coming out and being here! I’ve been saying this since day 1, I love y’all!” But it didn’t end there… Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee just couldn’t help himself from this epic night by hopping on stage right after, performing “Powerglide,” “Come Get Her” and “Guatemala” to massive cheers — yes, it was that kind of night; you truly had to be there!

We then took the party to Drai’s Beachclub Saturday afternoon, with dance and electronic legend Destructo gracing the stage to continue the weekend rager! Sunny skies, drinks flowing all day, beach balls in the air, people dancing and making a splash — all this while enjoying the best views on the Strip? It doesn’t get any better for your dayclub needs! Destructo started us off with some reggaeton vibes, playing “Champion,” “So Am I” and “Topper Top” to get fans riled up, as he then effortlessly shifted to some of the best in trap mixes with “Pick It Up,” “Catching Plays,” “All Nite” and much more. He of course made sure to bring out some of his standalone hits for the fans, delivering with “Catching Plays,” “All Nite,” “LA Funky” and “Loaded,” never failing to get the crowd up and moving! Destructo never leaves anyone behind, perfect for playing a little something for everyone’s musical tastes during the middle of the festival weekend!

Last but certainly not least, Ty Dolla $ign made his grand return Saturday evening at Drai’s Nightclub and as expected, it was another sold out affair! Once again festival goers came out for the hottest party in Las Vegas, knowing that they’ll be getting by far the best concert experience on the Strip. Ty started us off strong with “Fade” then transitioning into “Saved,” asking “where all my ladies at?!” As you can guess screams filled the venue as he stepped back on the world-famous Drai’s LIVE stage — “I wanna know, if you been f***** with Ty Dolla $ign where you at?! Alright now, if you with your best friend make some noise!” We had tables popping bottles and everyone with good company singing and dancing to “You and Your Friends,” followed by standout banger “Don’t Tell Em.” He then asked “who’s birthday is it right now?!” and we most definitely had a lot of Virgos in the building — everywhere you looked it was a celebration! Ty made sure to shake fans’ hands on the dancefloor, even grabbing one of their phones for a memorable video. We then had a surprise appearance from emerging rapper and his cousin TeeCee4800, performing “Flexin” for the amped audience! Ty sang hit after hit from thereon out, getting so heated from the energy on stage that he had to take his shirt off to perform “Paranoid” and “Or Nah,” and the girls couldn’t get enough of it! The show came to an unbelievable close as Ty Dolla $ign brought his guitar out for “Psycho” and “Blasé,” and like a true rock star joined in on the crowd and stood on some of the VIP tables for a night to remember!
