50 Cent Celebrates Vegas Style Birthday Party W/50 Cent At Drais LV!

What a night! Multi-talented rapper, actor and entrepreneur 50 Cent celebrated his birthday at Drai’s Beachclub • Nightclub atop The Cromwell in Las Vegas with friend and fellow musician Trey Songz. The two performers partied into the early morning hours after putting on a full-length concert for the wall-to-wall crowd.

Sponsored by 50 Cent's Effen Vodka, the night began early with both 50 Cent and Trey Songz ordering drinks from their VIP tables. Each artists was surrounded by friends and started the night off on a high note with multiple people initiating "Happy Birthday" cheers for 50 Cent. Once all of their guests arrived, Trey Songz jumped on stage and the crowd went crazy.

Trey began a concert that ended up going on for nearly an hour. After performing some of his own music, 50 Cent emerged on the stage as well to huge cheers from the audience and countless celebratory Happy Birthday chants. Together, both 50 Cent and Trey Songz delivered an energetic concert at the rooftop nightclub. Plowing through hit after hit, including "Bottoms Up," "In Da Club," "Touchin, Lovin" and a dozen others, they finally got to Trey Songz' own "Say Ahh" -- an appropriate track for the birthday party. Once that song ended, 50 Cent was surprised with a custom birthday cake from the Drai's Dolls dancers.

50 Cent left the stage once the concert ended, but not before Trey Songz said a few kind words in honor of the big night. The party continued until the club closed down and everyone moved to Drai's After Hours.

Other notable celebrities who attended 50 Cent's mega birthday party at Drai's include: rapper Machine Gun Kelly, rapper Jermaine Dupri, LA Clippers shooting guard Lance Stephenson, Cleveland Caveliers center Brendan Haywood, Carolina Panthers tight end Ed Dickson, Toronto Raptors small forward DaMarre Carroll, Former NBA athlete Kenyon Martin, Brooklyn Nets shooting guards Alan Anderson and Joe Johnson.

A Hot Havana Night Party Is Coming To The Mob Museum

This summer, an unmistakably tropical vibe returns to downtown Las Vegas when The Mob Museum, The National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, hosts “Hot Havana Nights.” On Thursday, August 6, from 6 to 10 p.m., guests will celebrate everything vibrant about Cuban culture, including its delectable cuisine, the sounds of the nine-piece Cuban-American Jazz band Rumbantela and dances such as the Tango and Conga. Classic casino games including blackjack, roulette, craps and baccarat will be available, as will tropical cocktails and a cigar bar. Hot Havana Nights is sponsored by Johnson Brothers of Nevada and presented in collaboration with the Cuban Heritage Foundation.

“The Mob Museum provides a distinctive backdrop for occasions that bring some of Mob history’s legendary entertainment scene to life,” explains Geoff Schumacher, director of content, The Mob Museum. “Hot Havana Nights allows attendees to put themselves into the story, capturing the sensation of how it might have felt to be a guest at Cuba’s famous resorts all those decades ago.”
The evening is inspired by the decadent Havana resorts of the first half of the twentieth century, which attracted everyone from celebrities and scions of industry to middle-class vacationers. Visitors were drawn to Havana by its permissive, sun-soaked, indulgent atmosphere—comparable to the one eventually associated with Las Vegas. By the '40s, all Havana’s major resorts and casinos were run by U.S. Mob families from Chicago and New York, representing another dynamic replicated a few years later in Las Vegas.

A variety of items from Cuba’s heyday as America’s playground are on exhibit at The Mob Museum. Objects on display include photographs, a 1958 issue of Life magazine containing an exposé on the “U.S. Gambling Mob in Cuba,” artifacts from infamous Havana hotels, casinos and cabarets such as the Nacional, Tropicana, Sans Souci, Casino de Capri and Hotel Habana Riviera.

Hot Havana Nights is sponsored by Johnson Brothers of Nevada and presented in collaboration with the Cuban Heritage Foundation. Supporting sponsors include Las Vegas Review-Journal, El Tiempo and WENDOH Media.

The Mob Museum is a world-class destination in downtown Las Vegas dedicated to the thrilling story of organized crime and law enforcement. It presents an exciting and authentic view of the Mob’s impact on Las Vegas history and its unique imprint on the world. True stories of Mob history are brought to life in a bold and contemporary style via engaging exhibits, high-tech theater presentations and more than 885 artifacts, the largest collection of Mob and related law enforcement memorabilia under one roof. Since opening in 2012, The Mob Museum has accumulated numerous accolades, including being named one of the “Best Places to Travel in 2015” by Travel + Leisure Magazine, “A Must for Travelers” by The New York Times, one of “20 Places Every American Should See” by Fox News and Budget Travel magazine, “Las Vegas’ Best New Attractions for 2012” by Travel + Leisure magazine, “9 Reasons to Visit Las Vegas” by CNNgo, a finalist for the “Best Wider World Project Award,” by the British Guild of Travel Writers and “Best Museum” by Nevada Magazine. Admission is $21.95 for adults ages 18 and over with special pricing for online purchase, children, seniors, military, law enforcement, Nevada residents, and teachers. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, September through June; in July and August, hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. For more information, call (702) 229-2734 or visit www.TheMobMuseum.org. Connect on Facebook: www.Facebook.com/TheMobMuseum, on Twitter: @TheMobMuseum and subscribe to the Museum’s Mobcast here.

Meek Mill Performs At Drais! Spotted In The Crowd Matt Goss & More Celebs!

Meek Performing 

After just releasing his second studio album, Dreams Worth More Than Money, which topped the Billboard 200 chart and is currently the number one album in the U.S., Meek Mill made his debut at the revolutionary Drai's LIVE concert series on July 11, 2015 with a full-length concert at Drai’s Beachclub • Nightclub atop The Cromwell in Las Vegas.

Meek Mill is no stranger to the Drai's LIVE stage. However, this was his first headlining concert - and not only did he bring the club to maximum capacity, but the energy in the room skyrocketed once he arrived. Meek and his entourage got to the club, which overlooks one of the most famous intersections in the world on the Las Vegas Strip, a while before his performance began. The Drai's cocktail servers immediately brought out vodka and champagne for Meek and his crew, and rumbles of Meek's arrival began to reverberate throughout the club.

After the room darkened and his band members got in place, Meek Mill took to the stage like a ball of fire, lighting up the room with an explosive mix of energy and movement. He worked all parts of the expansive Drai's LIVE stage and took no time to rest in between songs. Meek performed a wide range of hits, from the top tracks of his career ("Amen") to material straight from the new album ("Check"). A couple of times throughout the night, Meek pointed his microphone out to the crowd to make sure the audience was singing along - and they never missed a word. Once the concert ended, Meek and his swarm of friends all stayed at their VIP tables in the DJ booth area to party until the club shut down.

Matt Goss

Meek wasn't the only person partying it up at Drai's last night. The club, perched 11 stories above Las Vegas Boulevard, also hosted a range of celebrities and athletes including: international singer and Caesars Palace headliner Matt Goss, NBA star Lamar Odom, Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden, UFC heavyweight Stipe Miocic, Carolina Panthers tight end Ed Dickson, Washington Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon, Muhammad Ali's son Asaad Ali and retired NBA player Dominique Wilkins.

Meek's performance last night followed the July 10 birthday party for 50 Cent featuring Trey Songz and tonight Fabolous takes over the club for SunDrai's, the weekly Big Room Hip-Hop party at the rooftop hotspot.
