Animal House, And Celebrates Debuts Of Rappers Machine Gun Kelly And A$ap Ferg

Drai’s Las Vegas partied like it was 1978 with the launch of its all-new party experience inspired by the cult film, ANIMAL HOUSE, at Drai’s Beachclub. The afternoon kicked off with a high-energy performance by DJ group Breathe Carolina, followed by a 1.5 hour set by resident DJ duo ZEDS DEAD. The party continued to escalate with an epic Drai’s debut by rapper Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), hyping the crowd with songs like “Ocho Cinco,” “Wild Boy” and “Till I Die.”

During his set, MGK took his larger-than-life performance to new heights, singing atop the rooftop railings before crowdsurfing into one of the club’s many sparkling pools. He concluded the unforgettable concert by showering guests with champagne during The Isley Brothers’ iconic hit song “Shout,” which is performed in the film. After departing the stage, MGK kept the party going, joining friends at a VIP cabana where they sipped on Jameson.

The afternoon included various ANIMAL HOUSE-themed surprises, including drumline performances, COLLEGE-themed t-shirts and more. Max George from pop group The Wanted and members of rock band Avenged Sevenfold were spotted enjoying the daylong party and partaking in the ANIMAL HOUSE festivities.

The party didn’t stop there! Later in the night, Machine Gun Kelly’s drummer – Rook –performed a set on the drums alongside Drai’s resident DJ Franzen. Then, celebrated rapper A$AP Ferg took things to a new level when he hit the Drai’s LIVE stage for his first-ever performance at Drai’s Nightclub. The A$AP Mob standout treated partygoers to a huge set of hits, including tracks from his recently released album, Always Strive and Prosper.
