Drake celebrated his 25th birthday at Tao at the Venetian on Saturday night. The
Young Money/Cash Money Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling recording artist and actor
was joined by friends, family and fans for the Las Vegas bash presented by Martini
Moscato d’Asti.

DJ Franzen manned the decks first, giving way to DJ Future the Prince, a childhood
friend Drake personally flew in for the occasion. Future laid down the beats as 
Drake and friends took over a group of VIP tables on the dance floor and Drake made
his way out to the crowd to greet his fans. The birthday boy, who stayed on the 
mic for much of the night, was presented with a cake in the shape of a varsity jacket
and had a surprise visit from Birdman, co-founder of Cash Money Records and rapper
Mack Maine, who is president of Young Money Entertainment. While Drake had his own
cake, 600 Martini Moscato d’Asti infused cake pops were delivered to the crowd.

Tao’s bottle fairy “owl” flew over the dance floor as confetti rained down,
delivering a bottle of Martini Moscato d’Asti to Drake’s table as club goers
partied to some of his biggest hits and Drake thanked her for “risking your life
for me.”

The generous star bought 200 shots for the crowd and told them, “I’m celebrating
my birthday and want you all to celebrate with me. Go to the bar and get your shot
on me.” Another table sent over 20 bottles of Champagne, prompting him to say,
“I don’t know how I am going to drink all this…guess I will have to share 
it.” Share he did as he went on to the dance floor like the pied piper of bubbly,
passing out bottles. Drake was having such a great time he stayed at Tao until 4
a.m.

The party marks the beginning of what is expected to be an exciting couple of months
for Drake, with the release of his highly anticipated sophomore album, Take Care,
on Nov. 15.
