XSET is no stranger to collaborating with the music industry. In April, award-winning Puerto Rican singer/songwriter Ozuna teamed up with the brand in a deal that saw the artist become a managing partner.
Dustin Drai, Vice President of Marketing and Entertainment at Drai’s Las Vegas, added: “We couldn’t be more excited to collaborate with XSET, which is quickly emerging as a leader in the esports and gaming space, to bring unprecedented activations to Drai’s.
“This partnership is a colossal step in furthering the evolution of the gaming and nightlife communities, and we look forward to creating unmatched experiences with XSET.”
Esports Insider says: A crossover between gaming and nightlife industries is one that has rarely been explored, which makes this particular deal with XSET and Drai’s very interesting. As a first-of-its-kind deal, it will be interesting to see whether the collaboration is a success.
