Drai's Nightclub Guest List

Drai's Nightclub has no exterior street entrance — the venue is entirely underground at basement level inside The Vanderpump Hotel (formerly The Cromwell). Guests who walk Las Vegas Boulevard looking for an exterior Drai's sign will not find one. The hotel entrance is the only access point.

Directions from the main hotel entrance: enter The Vanderpump Hotel from the Las Vegas Boulevard porte-cochere (the former Cromwell entrance, now branded Vanderpump). Walk through the casino floor and follow the directional signage for Drai's Nightclub toward the elevator banks that descend to basement level. At the elevator area, the guest list host desk is positioned before the elevator. Check in here, provide your name, have your ID verified, and take the elevator down to the basement club. From hotel entrance to club entry takes approximately 5 to 8 minutes.

For rideshare arrivals: enter '3595 S Las Vegas Blvd' or 'The Vanderpump Hotel' in your app. The rebrand from The Cromwell to The Vanderpump Hotel may not be uniformly updated across rideshare map databases — using the street address guarantees correct routing. Drai's is at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road, walking distance from Caesars Palace, Bellagio, and Paris Las Vegas. Self-parking at The LINQ garage across the street ($15 flat after 10 PM). Valet at The Vanderpump Hotel entrance ($30+).

Drai's is the only major Las Vegas Strip nightclub that offers a flat-rate all-inclusive entry option alongside the standard free guest list. The two options are compatible within the same group — members choose individually based on how they expect to spend the night.

The free guest list is the right choice if you want flexibility: pay for drinks at standard bar pricing as you go, control individual consumption, and start the night knowing your entry cost is zero. Women are free all night; men are free in the first hour (1–2 AM) with even ratio. If your group drinks moderately — one or two drinks per person over a five-hour night — the free guest list delivers the most value.

The $99 all-inclusive VIP wristband is the right choice if you want cost predictability, plan to drink freely across all three rooms, and want the simplicity of a single per-person charge before you arrive. For groups of six or more who expect a moderate-to-high volume of drinks, the flat rate frequently produces a lower total per-person cost than the cover-plus-tab model at comparable venues where a drinks tab easily runs $60 to $120 per person. Birthday parties and bachelor groups who need a firm per-person ceiling benefit most.

Mixing both in the same group is common and fully supported. Members who want flat-rate certainty use the wristband; members who prefer to control individual spend use the standard free guest list. Both access the same three programming rooms without internal thresholds between zones.

Drai's July 2026 programming runs across four weeks with regular hip-hop and house bookings. All shows open at 1:00 AM. Guest list sign-up closes at 8:30 PM on the evening of your visit regardless of artist or night — submit well ahead for Friday and Saturday bookings.

Space Yacht on July 19 brings their nationally recognized house and electronic brand to Drai's electronic room — sign up 48 hours ahead. Patrick Cornett (July 16 and July 20)holds residency dates with open-format programming. DJ Marx (July 15), DJ Poun (July 17), DJ Nino (July 18), Lucky Lou (July 24), Flowfly (July 25), Last Call (July 27), and VTech (July 31) complete the July calendar. R&B Thursdays run each week — the most relaxed guest list conditions of any Drai's operating night.

Drai's allows up to 10 guests per single registration — the most generous per-submission limit on the Strip. A group of 10 submits a single registration. A group of 14 submits two registrations (one of 10 and one of 4, both using the same arrival time) and checks in together at the basement entrance.

For birthday groups, the $99 all-inclusive VIP wristband is the most commonly requested option. It eliminates the per-drink tab, simplifies the group budget before the evening starts, and is compatible with the free guest list in the same group. Birthday bottle service starts at $550 for main floor positions and includes a sparkler presentation and dedicated host with advance booking.

For bachelor parties where male headcount exceeds female headcount: Thursday (R&B Thursdays) is the correct Drai's night. Ratio enforcement is at its most relaxed, same-day sign-up is accepted, and cover is 30 to 40 percent below weekend pricing. If the group must go on a Friday or Saturday, arrive at 1:00 AM to use the full first-hour free-entry window — it closes at 2:00 AM. The $99 all-inclusive wristband bypasses ratio requirements entirely as a flat-rate paid entry.

The multi-room format is a structural advantage for large groups. Rather than managing 12 people together on a single crowded dance floor, Drai's multi-room layout allows the group to split by preference and reunite at the hookah lounge on a rotation. This distributed structure reduces the friction of managing a large group in a single space.

All three offer free guest list entry through NoCoverVegas. The decision comes down to when you want to go out, what music you prefer, and whether you want a standalone destination or a continuation of a night started at another club.

Choose Drai'sif you want to go out after 1:00 AM, prefer hip-hop as your primary music or want simultaneous hip-hop and house in separate rooms, want the $99 all-inclusive VIP option, or plan to use it as a second destination after another club closes at 4:00 AM. Drai's is the only after-hours venue on the Strip with this multi-room format.

Choose Hakkasan at MGM Grand if you want to start at 10:30 PM, want access to both EDM and hip-hop simultaneously across five floors (80,000 sq ft, 3,800 people), or want the R&Bae Wednesday night experience. Hakkasan is best for groups whose schedule requires a traditional nightclub start time. Cover savings are $40 to $80 per person on the guest list.

Choose OMNIA at Caesars if the kinetic LED chandelier is the primary experiential goal, you want EDM-primary headliner programming at stadium scale, or you are staying at Caesars Palace. Opens at 10:30 PM with three spaces (main room, Ling Ling Lounge, rooftop terrace) on a single admission. Cover savings are $40 to $75 per person on guest list.
