Nelly, Fabolous, and Fat Joe Turn Up in Las Vegas

It was another unforgettable weekend (June 24-26, 2016) at Drai’s Nightclub at The Cromwell in Las Vegas as several of the biggest names in hip-hop delivered back-to-back-to-back full-length performances as part of the Drai’s LIVE concert series. Fans and partygoers alike came out in droves to revel in the unmatched three-day lineup. GRAMMY Award-winning rapper Nelly, who arrived arm in arm with girlfriend Shantel Jackson, kicked off the weekend at the dazzling rooftop nightclub with a St. Louis takeover, being joined onstage by fellow Midwest rappers Chingy, J-Kwon, and Huey for a surprise performance. The celebrated artists served up fan favorites like Nelly’s “Country Grammar” and “Hot in Herre,” Chingy’s “Right Thurr” and many more. Cleveland Browns tight end Randall Telfer was spotted taking in the late night show with friends.

Continuing the action on Saturday night was Drai’s LIVE resident artist Fabolous, who brought a one-of-a-kind show featuring a huge set of hits like “Lituation” and “She Wildin,” among several others. The “You Be Killin’ Em” rapper kept the party going late into the night as he enjoyed one of the multi-level venue’s luxurious stageside VIP booths with his entourage.

Following his hugely successful debut at Drai’s Nightclub last month, celebrated rapper Fat Joe made a highly-anticipated return to the Drai’s LIVE stage to close out the weekend on Sunday night. In addition to serving up old school hits like “Lean Back” and “What’s Luv?,” the legendary rapper also delivered new tracks like “All The Way Up” and more.
