LAX Nightclub. Maino and Grey Goose...PARTY time!




Last night (Wednesday, July 27), hip-hop artist Maino hosted the evening at LAX Nightclub inside Luxor Hotel and Casino and included an explosive performance. Around 1 a.m. the artist arrived with a small group of friends where they posted up in their exclusive VIP table located in the center of the luxurious nightclub. The group sipped on Grey Goose cocktails and was joined by a couple of beauties. While Maino prepped for his performance, resident DJ Gusto spun the beats gearing up the clubgoers for the main event.

The headliner got on stage around 1:30 am to screaming fans. Performing to a packed house his set included the popular hit “Million Bucks” and his newest single “Let It Fly” off his upcoming sophomore album. Closing with a club favorite  “All The Above,” the emcee gained his fans attention when he cut the music and sang it a cappella, then holding the mic out for the partygoers to sing back. 

Following the 20-minute crowd pleasing performance, Maino headed back to his table bringing a few lucky fans up as the Brooklyn native took time to meet and pose for photos with them. The artist then popped a bottle of champaign and continued to party early into the morning during Vegas’ most popular mid-week bash.

KRS One at LAVO's Old School...gets the crowd going!




KRS One rocked LAVO’s Old School Wednesday last night, performing for more than an hour for packed crowd that kept screaming for more.  His energetic set kept club goers dancing and after the first three songs he asked the crowd, “You want some more?”  to which they eagerly responded “Yes!”.  The same thing happened after the next three songs so KRS One obliged the crowd and continued, free styling and sending the club into an uproar.  Partiers packed the dance floor and to wrap his set the “Teacha”, as he is known, made his way into the crowd to deliver his last few songs while mingling with the club goers.  On the way back to his VIP table he prompted the crowd to come take pictures with him and he happily posed with fans.
