Drai’s Weekend Recap: Nelly (9/21), Destructo and Ty Dolla $ign (9/22)
by DRAI’S / September 25, 2018
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. Special guests included Mike Tyson, Lil Uzi Vert, Cash XO, Nav, and much more, with some surprise guests that came out on stage — read on to see what went down!
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! Don’t miss out as Nelly will be returning to Drai’s Nightclub on Friday, October 12! Click here for tickets.
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!
