I interviewed Dustin Drai, president of Drai’s After Hours, recently and I’m surprised that the club is trying a $99 all-inclusive deal. More info in link below:

That gets you VIP entry and unlimited drinks from 1 a.m. until 3 a.m. They’re also offering food now, but it’s just a little platter of small bites like sandwiches, little cake bites, macarons and stuff like that for $99. It’s for bottle service though which makes sense given the pricing. I do wish they would’ve made some food available for general admission, but hey maybe we’ll get there!

It’s interested that an after hours joint would do this. What’s your take on it?

Apparently a lot of people think that Drai’s completely shut down in October because of everything with Vanderpump, but it’s still open! They just moved all the operations to the after-hours club in the basement.

Some people are stronger than me, I’m the type of person that probably would only go to Drai’s after another club. I’ve never been personally. But I don’t think I could stomach too many more drinks that later. It’s still a great deal, considering the price of drinks and that entry can range from $40-$60, unless you’re on a guest list.

I’ve only been to a handful of Ravehouse shows, but this popped up on my timeline this morning and I had to get the full story. It looks like this DJ is someone who used to perform with Ravehouse and he has a pretty big following in the rhythm/dubstep I believe? But he was exposed to us through the Tea app and other people in the rave community that he was talking to a minor….he addressed it himself on an Instagram post on his profile but if you look at the comments, pretty valid response. He said he was 19 talking to a 16-year-old, but people are still grilling him for being an adult talking to a minor, justifiably so. Someone on Instagram also exposed that he committed like over $1k+ theft at Best Buy, which is allegedly one that he worked at. (All info is available publicly!)

Glad that Ravehouse took the steps to separate themselves from what’s going on with him, but I am genuinely curious to see how he even try to make a name for himself with these exposed allegations. I saw a screenshot of the conversation that was posted and the girl he was talking to herself was trying to get him to be aware of the fact that he was older than her and that there could be something wrong with it. Eek

Heard about this for a while on TikTok, and I went to check it out last week. It's a 21+ *somewhat* invite-only show at The Reserve at Park MGM.

Went last Friday and it was very interesting, different from other magic shows. Really intimate, maybe 30-40 people max, all seated close enough to see the close-up tricks. "The Magician" himself is pretty funny and charismatic. He wears a white rabbit helmet when he enters, but takes it off during the show. Photography is banned the whole time, so I STILL don't know his name.

My honest opinion: if you get VIP seats, it's worth it; general admission can be a mixed bag, depending on where you sit. I have no regrets from seeing the show!

Has anyone else been? Curious if others have thoughts on it.

See my full writeup here if you want the details!!

Hey everyone!! I went to pick up my badge early at lvl up and I thought I would share some information with you

1. I had no idea it was going to be so packed and the lines were going to be so long. Luckily, I had a VIP badge, so I didn't have to wait in the longer lines, but I felt so bad for anyone that had the regular/ GA passes, because the line was super long, like a nightclub in Vegas at 1 a.m. craziness. ☠️

So I would recommend if you didn't pick up your badge today, that you should plan to arrive relatively early on Friday (hours ahead imo), because I can only imagine how many people will actually be there on the day of to buy tickets or pick them up. My bf should be grateful I got his with my VIP badge (•_- ) would’ve been a horrible wait worse than the DMV

2. I spoke to someone who was on the show floor and asked some questions about the Hazbin Hotel booth, so I know that they are definitely going to be putting a limit on their promo cards. It's going to be one person per day, but they have a limit on how much merch they will sell each day, so it won't all sell out on Friday. That was what I was worried about, but they're going to restock it. And they said it's basically because they don't want anyone who only could come for Sunday or Saturday to miss out because it all sold out on Friday. That probably means that they will go through their stock for each day relatively quickly, so I would highly recommend getting there early to get a good spot in the line, or if you have a VIP, definitely go in early to get the merchandise that you want.

That being said, it doesn’t seem like they are stopping people from getting merch every day so if you have a three day badge, you may be able to come back the next day, I’m not sure but you can always try

3. There is reentry allowed! I wasn’t sure if they were going to be sticklers on this because I have been to events like that but if you do need to leave, they will just have you scan your badge and scan your badge out.
