I came in here to meet up with a girl that happened to have substantial influence on the staff that works here. So of course, my review is going to be a little bit distorted because of the preferential treatment they gave me.
I considered Drai's to be one of the best After Hours parties I have ever seen. I frequently go to the Rain Nightclub at the Palms so Drai's happened to be a convenient 5 minute drive down Flamingo. It strives to maintain the nightclub atmosphere, they play the same EDM style form of music like Rain does, and even has a hip hop room, like the Moon Nightclub.
I thought it was awesome that they let me in by myself to see 5 girls that already went inside. All I did is drop a name and 5 minutes later they opened the rope JUST for me (:
The group I was with, the security let us occupy the VIP tables until someone bought the section, so we just spent our time table hopping and flirting as we went. Eventually we came across a table of losers that didnt like us very much (because they were all dudes that wanted to look powerful with a table I guess), and tried to call security against us. However, due to our good standing with the staff, and our generally more positive vibes, the bouncers just told those fuckers to shut up and enjoy the party.
The bouncers are really committed in maintaining a good atmosphere to party in. And unlike the other public After Hours joint I been in, The Artisan, this place isn't full of hookers, sex offenders, and small time drug dealers. I like the folks that come here a lot. And for most visitors, I guess their perception of the best part is that it is FREE.
