High-profile stars headed to Jewel Nightclub at Aria as the nightclub kicked off its first anniversary weekend celebration. The star-studded night, which also served as the Billboard Music Awards official pre-party with a special live performance by PartyNextDoor, brought out chart-topping artists including Drake, DJ Kahled and Halsey, along with model Kate Upton.

Around 12:30 a.m., American singer Halsey was spotted at a VIP table along with five guests. Dressed in a black mini dress, oversized blue bomber jacket, and blue suede thigh-high boots, the pop star seemed to be enjoying her night as she sipped cocktails, took photos and mingled with her friends. As the night continued, Halsey jumped on stage with PartyNextDoor and sang some of her songs, including the current smash hit “Now or Never.” The room rumbled with excitement as the crowd enthusiastically sang along and cheered on the two performers, creating an incredible atmosphere within the top nightclub. Following the performance, the artist made her way back to her VIP table before leaving around 2:45 a.m.

The group arrived at around 12:45 a.m. and was seated at the exclusive Blind Tiger suite on the mezzanine level of the nightclub where Upton was seen as the life of the party. The blonde bombshell, dressed casually in all black, was enjoying time with friends and dancing all night long while sipping on cocktails before leaving around 3 a.m.

Later in the night, around 1:30 a.m., legendary rap artist Drake made an appearance at the nightspot to support his OVO artist PartyNextDoor. The hip-hop mogul arrived with about 30 guests and sat at a VIP table where he was observed to be socializing with his group and enjoying a few drinks. About an hour later, hip-hop icon DJ Khaled also arrived to the nightclub, where he was seen speaking privately to Drake, his close friend. Following the eventful night, both of the celebrated artists made their way out the venue just after 3 a.m.
