by DRAI’S / December 3, 2018

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!
