Which Clubs in Las Vegas play Hip-Hop / R&B?
Hip-hop has been a large part of Las Vegas culture since the early ’90s when West Coast gangsta rap ruled the airwaves and L.A. legends like Dr. Dre and 2Pac made Sin City their weekend playground (2Pac was shot and killed while on the Vegas Strip in 1996). Although EDM has taken over many of the hottest clubs in Las Vegas the past several years, hip-hop has made a comeback in 2020 and now there are a variety of great hip-hop nightlife options.

Drai’s regularly promotes events with live artists such as Chris Brown, The Weeknd, Tyga, Big Sean, Future, 50 Cent, Jeremih and much more. On nights without performers, expect to hear a a mix of Hip Hop and Top 40 music.
Marquee Nightclub
Marquee at the Cosmo is a monumental 60,000 square foot venue that transitions night club patrons between lavish rooms and various musical experiences. While the main room has traditionally featured big room house / EDM, in the past couple of years the format has shifted more and more to 50/50 split by featuring hip-hop with marquee (pun intended) artists such as DJ Mustard, French Montana, and Travis Scott. On EDM nights the downstairs room known as the “Boom Box room” will play straight hip-hop and R&B; on hip-hop nights, Boom Box spins Top 40 radio with a touch of mainstream EdM. Ladies, make sure to bring your folding flats with you, because after dancing all night to the beats of all your favs and moving back and forth from room to room, climbing those steps to the exit will not be easy!

Guests under the four-story roof will be showered with beams of changing colored lights revealing layers of architectural wonders.
Heart of Omnia features a palette rich with dark woods, bronze crocodile-embossed leather banquettes and LED screen arrangement. Envisioned as a seductive lair, the ultra lounge features private seating areas, a bar and DJ booth. DJ’s in this separate room typically spin a mix of hip hop / top 40.

Drai’s After Hours
So, the DJ is starting to wind down at the club you’re at but you’ve still got a solid six or seven hours of party left in you. It’s the timeless dilemma many of us have encountered at some point or another.
What to do, what to do… Head to Drai’s After Hours in The Cromwell. Look for the gold elevator marked with the curvaceous body of a woman in ruby red dress. The club is located underground where it originally opened in the Barbary Coast. Plain and simple, if you’re looking for after-hours fun on the Strip, this is the place to be. Cashing in on everything saucy about after-hours, Drai’s digs deep to give you a club experience like no other. Drai’s pioneered the “after-hours” late-night concept in 1997, providing an intimate and exclusive spot where the party continued til sunrise.
Drai’s features two separate rooms – one playing hip hop and one playing Electronic music. Be forewarned – on occasion when it gets really busy you may have to pay an extra cover charge to get into the hip hop room. But you can’t put a price on fun (especially if you’re getting VIP bottle service)!
