DRAIS BEACH CLUB AT THE CROMWELL

With a prime location at the intersection of Flamingo Rd and Las Vegas Blvd, Drai’s Beach Club atop the Cromwell raises the bar for Sin City daylife. The 35,000 square foot mega pool opened for business on the 11th floor of the boutique resort on Memorial Day Weekend 2014.

Two swimming pools surrounded by 35-foot tall natural palms occupy the lower level of the venue. The pools feature central wet decks with additional seating and daybeds arranged on the deck around the perimeter. Guests may also reserve poolside banquettes or booths with seating that offers magnificent views of the Las Vegas Strip and the famous fountains of Bellagio. Additional daybeds on the mezzanine level surround a private pool. Some of the best seats in the house are located right next to the DJ at the VIP stage table.

Four full service bars ensure the drinks flow freely without frustratingly long waits for general admission guests. Aan oversized LED screen with visual elements created by SJ Lighting complements the cutting edge DJ booth. An arch rises high above the DJ platform with large drapes billowing out to create a dramatic visual effect.

The lower deck supports ten bungalows lining one side of the main pool deck. Each bungalow has its own HD TV and are five private pools restricted for bungalow guest use only. Mezzanine level cabanas have private bathrooms, showers, ceiling fans, daybeds, two sofas, 55” high definition TVs and water misters. Cabanas along the south side of the mezzanine provide unobstructed views of the Strip and the DJ booth.

Guests can order premium liquor by the bottle starting at $495 or one of the club’s many specialty cocktails served by the pitcher starting at $70. The Mango Pineapple French Press is a refreshing concoction made with Bacardi pineapple, fresh lime, mint and mango syrup. The Luminous of the Gods luxury package offers 16 bottles of Dom Perignon Brut Luminous for $15,000.

The Beach Club flows seamlessly into the adjoining nightclub and after dark the pool deck provides additional space for the all night party.

Guests can access Drai’s Beach Club through one of six dedicated elevators on the casino floor adjacent to the porte cochere.
