When you think of Las Vegas residencies, performers who spring to mind include Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Elton John, Bette Midler and the like — but a rapper?
That’s about to change when T.I. begins a residency at Drai’s Nightclub in Sin City as an alternative for rap fans seeking entertainment other than pop divas, flashy magicians and Cirque du Soleil spectacles.

Drai’s has gained a reputation as the home of hip hop in Vegas, and T.I. will kick off his exclusive engagement this Saturday, with performances scheduled to run through July.
