Las Vegas has long been known as a world-class destination for electronic dance music, bringing some of the top DJs from around the world to perform, and, now, it is about to make its mark as a topnotch destination for hip-hop music.
Now, many professional athletes are coming to Vegas to enjoy the hip-hop scene. The biggest weekend for NFL players to take over the Strip is Memorial Day Weekend, the end of their off season before summer training camp. Drai’s Beach is where you are most likely to catch them.
Where should you party in Vegas if you want to take part in the hip-hop scene?
Drai’s Nightclub
Drai’s Nightclub is widely hailed as the top spot for hip-hop in Las Vegas. It is easy to see why with upcoming performances by Snoop Dogg, T.I., Fat Joe, 2 Chainz, and Big Sean, to name a few. Drai’s is 65,000 square feet of fun and music, situated on the roof of the Cromwell. The nightclub, itself, not including the dayclub, is 25,000 square feet, split over two levels. Together, the indoor and outdoor areas total 150 VIP tables, and being a top choice for football players, you never know who may be seated at one of those tables.
Phil Loomis, the man behind entertainment at Drai’s, told Vegas Seven the nightlife scene had gotten “a little bit stale”. Drai’s decided to host 45-minute hip-hop concerts, instead of churning out the same EDM concerts that other clubs in Vegas were hosting.
Light Nightclub at Mandalay Bay
Light Nightclub at Mandalay Bay has become a popular spot for hip-hop. On New Year’s Eve, Ludacris, T-Pain, and Metro Boomin all performed. Memorial Day Weekend, Ludacris and Metro Boomin will be back, and Rick Ro$$ will also be performing.

The hip-hop scene is on the rise in Vegas, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Just as Vegas became the U.S. answer to Ibiza when the electronic dance music scene took off, so, too, will it become the West Coast answer to Atlanta. Las Vegas has the biggest and best nightlife scene in America, and it’s not just headliner house DJs—hip-hop is big in Las Vegas, and we do it better than anywhere else.
