| - Its 1AM or beyond and you're still drunk. You're ready to party, find more adventures, but get shuffled out of the club you're in. Where do you go? Drai's After Hours is definitely one option.
First off, Drai's After Hours is not the same as Drai's Nightclub. The After Hours location is actually in an elevator that leads below the Cromwell. Look for it near the front entrance of the Cromwell. Without being on the guestlist, it is $20 for girls and $30 for guys - at least on the Friday I went. The club opens at 1AM and closes...around 10-11AM depending on the crowd/mood.
So when you come, unless you want to look at the decor and have a really chill talk with your friend or the bartender/staff, come around 2:30AM-3:30AM as its very, very quiet before. Beware though as the closer you come around that period - the longer that line becomes. Once it hits that time though, the place is pretty active. There are two sections - a house music section and a hip-hop section. The house music is what you'll see first most likely while the hip-hop section is down near the restrooms. Funny enough, the hip hop section was busier (and eventually closed off to guys) as the night went on.
The decor is quite different and cool. For a first-timer, I was quite surprised - everything has a very dark red hue with lamps and a library feel. The crowd is also very different - you'll get a mix of veterans that frequent the place as well as very drunk (but mostly friendly) clientele - each with their own funny story for why they're down there. The bartenders are also super cool (drinks are normally priced - around $10+ for most drinks).
The atmosphere is so different from the other Vegas nightclubs as the night wears on but again, if you're that party animal or just wanting to people watch and see something a bit different, the After Hours club is definitely interesting for any Vegas-goers.
