Everywhere else it’s just Tuesday, but it was a Mardi Gras Masquerade last night down at Drai’s After Hours! The fifth edition of Imagine Tuesdays was full of New Orleans-inspired decor, transforming the posh hot spot into Fat Tuesday as people wore purple, green and gold-colored beads, masquerade masks and outfits, with plenty of balloons displayed across the venue. Tables were making it rain from start to finish as bottle presentations, birthday celebrations and more were going on, with DJ Maria Romano getting everyone up and dancing as she played the hottest in hip-hop and R&B. See how it all went down in the photos, and we’ll see you all again in March for the next edition of Imagine Tuesdays, only at one of the top clubs in Las Vegas!
Fashion week is here in Las Vegas, and Drai’s Nightclub was excited to kick start the festivities last night with a special performance from Rae Sremmurd! In partnership with sneaker connoisseurs Zen, we were proud to host the official Agenda after party. The industry’s most notable and influential came out in style for a live nightlife experience like no other on the Strip, as Rae Sremmurd delivered another stellar set.
“Las Vegas WTF is going on?! If you from out of town say ‘hell yeah’!” The dynamic duo got the show started strong with “No Type” and “No Flex Zone,” coming out in full force to get the crowd going from start to finish. Rae Sremmurd brought nothing but good vibes and high energy throughout their performance, with bottles being popped and people up and dancing the night away. “Lotta sexy ladies in Vegas right now, ladies say ‘yeah’!” Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi had to do it for them as they performed “Come Get Her,” “Throw Sum Mo,” “Unforgettable” and more to their fullest, getting the excited Agenda audience turned up. Rae Sremmurd’s interaction with the crowd is unmatched, shaking hands, pouring drinks, and even grabbing some lucky fans’ phones for some Instagram Stories! “We wanna take a shot with y’all on the count of 3 – it’s a celebration!” And for the first time on the Drai’s LIVE stage we had Swae perform “Sunflower,” brightening everyone up as they gladly sang along to the #1 hit. “Y’all need a break?! Didn’t think so – we ’bout to go stupid with this next song!” The brothers closed out this epic evening with SR3MM chart-topper “Powerglide,” going all out one last time and then some. “Las Vegas, Drai’s y’all party like some rock stars! SremmLife!”

Make some noise in this joint man, we goin’ back to the ’90s – it’s only right!” A slew of classics were brought out to the masses as fans rapped along to each and every word, even performing some standout Wu-Tang tracks for the day 1s. The pair were in their element as they worked the crowd from start to finish with their incredible energy and charismatic nature – we even had Method Man hop up on one of the VIP tables as he laid out some killer bars on “Release Yo Delf.” Method Man and Redman closed it out with “Dangerous MC’s” and “Da Rockwilder,” as well as an encore performance with “Rapper’s Delight” to cap it off!
Returning on Saturday was the one and only Big Sean, bringing out a sold out show as we continued our Big Game weekend festivities. “Sean Don in this motherf*****, Super Bowl weekend! Y’all got the Pats or the Rams?” They most definitely favored the Rams to take it, applauding and screaming as he stepped back up on the Drai’s LIVE stage. “If y’all feeling good tonight make some noise… If you celebrating a birthday make some noise!” Sean took a moment to show love and shout out everyone that came out from different parts of the world, saving the West Coast for last to loud cheers as he transitioned into “Clique.” “If you gonna make a million dollars over your lifetime make some noise right now! If you not taking that leap of faith you gotta do it; do what you love!” offering words of encouragement as he performed “Don’t Like,” “Blessings” and countless other hits for the excited crowd. Ending his performance with chart-toppers “IDFWU” and “Bounce Back” kept the party going well into the night – another show-stopping set with Big Sean!

The venue was packed and filled with good vibes from beginning to end, with bottle presentations left to right and tables making it rain nonstop throughout the night.

We in motherf***** Vegas, what happens in Vegas stays here, nah mean?!” It was hit after hit from thereon out, even inviting up MGK for “Ocho Cinco” to everyone’s amazement – the energy was literally through the roof atop The Cromwell! With so much going on already, French took a moment to slow it down a bit by performing “Unforgettable” as everybody sang along to the #1 hit. He closed out his breakthrough performance with “Pop That” and song-of-the-moment “No Stylist” to perfectly encapsulate the Big Game weekend!

TIP closed it out with “Live Your Life,” “What You Know” and “ATM.” But it didn’t end there… we had a surprise appearance from Yo Gotti right after, performing “F*** You” to keep the party going and warming up for his performance the next day.
Yo Gotti once again put on a show to remember for Sunday to perfectly close out the weekend. DJ Franzen warmed the jam-packed crowd up playing the best in hip-hop and R&B, as well as handing out some complimentary shots for those on the dancefloor! Gotti came out with a statement starting with his bold single “F*** You” into “Yayo” and “I Got Dat Sack” – “I go by the name Yo Gotti and I represent the three letters: CMG. Let me take em back home to Memphis!” He then performed fan-favorite “Slob on My Knob,” “Doin 2 Much” and more, happily reaching out to the crowd and shaking hands. “Las Vegas, y’all enjoying yourselves or what?! Yo Blak (his DJ), I notice a lot of birthday girls in here!” Gotti then took a moment to shout out as many birthday girls as possible before ending his explosive set with “Rake It Up,” “Juice” and “1942” to confetti and smoke everywhere – another weekend for the books here at Drai’s Nightclub!
