“Wild at Heart” At OMNIA Nightclub Turns 2 With Busta Rhymes

On Tuesday, May 16, Heart, the exclusive ultra-lounge located within OMNIA Nightclub, celebrated the two-year anniversary of its premier weekly industry party “Wild at Heart.” The celebration featured plenty of special activations and surprises, which kept guests entertained well into the early hours of the morning.

Heart of OMNIA regular, DJ Turbulence, started the night off with a bang as he spun an open-format set with a variety of chart-topping hits. The atmosphere in the venue was electric as beautiful cocktail waitresses paraded around with signs proclaiming “#2 Wild” as drummers played a high-energy beat.

As promised, the anniversary celebration brought out a surprise performer for guests to enjoy, which was none other than hip-hop legend Busta Rhymes. Around 2 a.m., the rap artist took the stage dressed in black jeans, a platinum New York Yankees jacket, and black Air Force 1 tennis shoes accessorized with two platinum chains. M‎uch to the crowd’s delight, Rhymes began his performance with his early 2000’s hit “I Know You Want It” as partygoers sang along enthusiastically to every word. The rap sensation took the opportunity to wish his nephew, who accompanied him to the venue, a happy birthday while also thanking those in attendance for supporting him throughout his expansive career. Rhymes continued on with fan favorites “Break Ya Neck,” “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See,” and “Look at Me Now,” where he effortlessly rapped his iconic fast-paced verse. Rhymes ended his electrified set with his smash hit “Pass the Courvoisier,” where he sprayed the crowd with champagne, creating an indescribable atmosphere within the hot spot. The iconic performance was the ideal way to commemorate “Wild at Heart,” which continues to be one of the hottest industry parties on the Las Vegas Strip.
