Singing Star Drake drives them CRAZY!! Fans LOVE him!

Drake


Holly Madison & Laura Croft

Holly

Drake - Jas Prince.

Saturday night, Platinum Recording Artist Drake completed his Light Dreams and Nightmares U.S. Tour and headed immediately to Tryst Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas to celebrate with an entourage of celebrity friends. The breakout hip-hop star walked the black carpet with a rush of screaming fans vying for just a return glance and pushing to get inches closer. He walked past the line, shaking hands and greeting guests, before posing on the carpet and telling media, "I'm celebrating the end of my tour, the Light Dreams & Nightmares tour, and what better way to do it than party?"

He also shared that he's planning a break from the stage, citing he's been overworked, and is looking forward to getting back to Toronto to spend time with his family before traveling the world for fun, rather than to perform. Although, he might not be away from the studio for long... He mentioned the recent release of his idol Lil Wayne, and when asked if planning to work together soon, he grinned and said, "Whenever he's ready... Whenever he says the word, I'm there."

Drake, impressively collaborating with some of the biggest names in music early in his career, also has a hit song out with Rihanna right now titled "What's My Name?". When asked how it was working with the songstress, he noted, "It's always great. You know, I love her very much. She's a great person... Great person in my life.. To have a record that's out and so close to going #1, it's an honor."

As for goals for the upcoming year he said he hopes to just get better at rapping and singing, and of course "make people happy."

Drake noted this was his first time really partying in Las Vegas, and he chose to do it at the premier nightlife venue, surrounded by celebrity friends including boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, NFL players Javon Walker and Steven Jackson, MTV reporter Sway, Jas Prince, Young Money rapper Tyga, Holly Madison and Laura Croft.

Once inside he was quickly escorted to the owner's table, the premier location to see-and-be-seen overlooking the dance floor, where fans had their cell phones in the air, fighting for a single shot of the young superstar. Drake grabbed the mic, welcoming the crowd, thanking everyone for coming out, and saying, "You never know who's going to show up!" His DJ, Future Prince, then broke into Drake's current hit with Rihanna with the crowd erupting in excitement.

Drake stood the majority of the night, sipping on champagne, dancing with friends and looking over the sea of worshippers that erupted every time one of his hits blasted out from the DJ booth. The crowd also went wild when Cali Swag District's "Teach Me How to Dougie" came across the speakers, with Drake joining one of his friends in performing the moves that made the hit dance song a sensation.

E! reality star and Las Vegas performer Holly Madison walked the carpet saying everyone she knows is a fan of Drake and she was excited to come out to see what he was all about. She and Holly's World co-star Laura Croft later exchanged the Twitter conversation:
@lauracroft83: I've never witnessed something so crazy as the crowd response to Drake at Tryst. @hollymadison123: Never seen anything like it
