The UK boy band, One Direction, is one of the top new boy bands out there, with their song "What Makes You Beautiful" topping the charts. However, their popularity wasn't enough to allow them to party it up during a recent stay in Las Vegas. The young singers were thrown out of the casinos.
One Direction members-- Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik-may be able to drink and gamble back home in England and Ireland, but not in Sin City, as they're all under the legal age limit in America. Their ages range from 18 to 20.
The boys were staying in Las Vegas while as they were performing shows there as part of their U.S. tour. In between shows, the boys were looking to get a wild experience like that in The Hangover and they were ready to party the night away. However casino security, who knew exactly who the young boys were, wasn't going to let that fly.
A source told The Sun, "The boys were hoping to go wild in Vegas by boozing and gambling into the early hours.
"But security at every casino in town knew who the lads were and threw them out because the legal drinking and gambling age in the US is 21.
After being booted from the casinos, the boys thought that at least the hotel suite that they paid for would be the one used in the 2009 comedy, The Hangover. Yet again, they were disappointed. The Hangover was actually filmed in Los Angeles, The Sun reported.
"Finding out the hotel suite they had ordered wasn't the one in The Hangover was also pretty annoying," a source told The Sun.
However the One Direction boys still got to stay in some fancy accommodations. Perez Hilton reported that hotel management allowed them to stay in the $25,000-a-night Palms Hotel suite. The expensive two-floor suite comes with a hot tub, a pool table, and even a basketball half-court.
Irish Central also reported that the boys were hoping to see a strip show in Sin City. Ex-Playmate Holly Madison invited the boys to her Peep Show, but due to a lack of time and having to move to the next tour stop, they were unable to fit it into their busy schedule.
"One Direction are not happy. The MGM chiefs offered them the works, and Holly loves the boys. She wanted to give them a special show and even get them backstage to meet all the girls," Irish Central reported.
Maybe the One Direction boys can return when they're a little older and have some real free time to truly enjoy the wild city of Las Vegas.
They finish their US tour in Florida on Jul 1 and will then head back to the UK to continue performing.
