TOP NEW VEGAS HOT SPOT FOR 2011

Drai's

Inside Bill's Gambling Hall
3595 Las Vegas Boulevard South 

Looking for a place to get cozy with your honey? Check out Drai's. Stealthily located in the Barbary Coast, this southern French fusion spot is ideal for ditching the Strip and counting your winnings (or mourning your losses, for that matter). You'll feel right at home lounging in the high-backed booths covered in leopard skin fur. The coral red walls sport modernist nudes, and the ferns sticking out of every corner give you that speakeasy feeling. Candles are the lights here; the place is dripping with them. And if you're not up for their famous glazed Chilean sea bass entree, check out their library. You won't find any copies of Huck Finn in there. Just saucy drinks and low cushiony sofas. Stay awhile, or stay the night. Drai's becomes Drai's After Hours at midnight. The tables disappear, the music cranks, and the VIP bottle room opens for business.
