Dallas anticipates Drai’s transformation from Vegas entertainment to local hotspot. Spearheaded by Gap Concepts, Drai’s Dallas arrives 2024, 15,000 sq ft in the Arts District, according to a WFAA article which reports,
“An entertainment triple threat has its sights set on Dallas.
Las Vegas Drai’s Beachclub, Nightclub and After Hours will transform into a restaurant, lounge and exclusive membership club for Dallas residents in late 2024.
Spearheaded by Veeral Rathod and Obi Ibeto of Dallas-based Gap Concepts, the hospitality group behind XOXO Dining Room, Lyla and PostScript HTX, Drai’s Dallas will occupy 15,000 square feet of newly built space in Dallas’ Arts District.”
Local GAP Concepts partners with Drai’s Dallas, led by Dustin Drai. Excitement arises as Vegas concept blends with Dallas authenticity, according to a Dallas Observer article. They say,
“For this Dallas iteration, Drai’s has partnered with local group, GAP Concepts, which is headed by Veeral Rathod and Obi Ibeto. Their portfolio includes XOXO Dining Room, Lyla (which is set to open this summer in the former home of Primo’s in Uptown) and Postscript HTX in Houston.
Vice president of entertainment, Dustin Drai, son of founder Victor, went to school at SMU and is giddy to be back in Dallas to open a club.
“I always told myself that one day I would be back. I’ve been friends with Obi for years, and I knew he would be the best partner to bring a concept from Las Vegas and infuse it with the authenticity Dallas is known for,” Drai said.”
Dallas’ Drai’s offers exclusive VIP memberships, mirroring Vegas original. Founding memberships promise priority perks and invite-only events, targeting late 2024 opening.
