One of Vegas's best Strip restaurants is hidden away in the Barbary Coast Hotel, and is also one of the hottest after-hours clubs. Who knew?

Not many people know about Drai's, one of the clubbiest, most romantic restaurants on the strip that's hidden away in the very unflashy Barbary Coast hotel. Late-night fashionistas have made the after-hours club a regular hang, but the restaurant shouldn't be ignored earlier in the evening. The leopard-print fabrics, brightly colored walls, and decadent artwork are far removed, thankfully, from the Victorian-themed casino. The menu veers toward modern French with dishes like sauteed foie gras with glazed apple and onion marmalade, baked salmon with lobster mousse in puff pastry, grilled ribeye with bearnaise and frites. Sure, it's all excessive and a little bit over the top, but hey--it's Vegas.

Hours are fairly tentative at Drai's, but the dining room opens nightly at 5pm; the after-hours hours start at 2am (Wed-Sat). It's the kind of place you stumble out of when the sun comes up.
