Sure, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas …unless you\u2019re a member of the British Royal Family, in which case the world is sure to find out. Take Prince Harry’s recent break from military training in Arizona. After a relaxing desert cruise on a rented Harley-Davidson, the future king’s brother cut loose in style, giving us a stellar model on how to vacation like royalty in some fabulous Las Vegas hotels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Harry is a notable night owl but made it out to catch the early showing of Cirque du Soleil<\/strong>\u2019s surreal, aquatic “O” at the beautiful Bellagio<\/a> \u2014with its iconic fountain out front \u2014 before losing a few hundred at Blackjack. He was reportedly delighted to learn that standard practice dictates drinks are free whilst gambling.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Harry and his entourage hit the sizzling XS<\/strong> nightclub at the Encore at Wynn Last Vegas<\/a> and Tryst<\/strong> at the Wynn Las Vegas<\/a> next door, where he had a suite. Both properties are renowned for attentive staffers (book ahead at either nightclub for a table with bottle service), opulent spas and world-class entertainment.<\/p>\n

And even if you opt out on the hog rental (or don\u2019t make it past the velvet ropes to sip Grey Goose and club it like a Royal), you can still gawk at the bikes and grab late-night eats at the Harley-Davidson Caf\u00e9<\/strong> \u2014 just across the street from the Planet Hollywood Resort Casino<\/a>, which will play host to the Miss America Pageant next month. For less than the cost of a floor-side table at the Wynn properties, you can feast your eyes on the moves of former “Girl Next Door” Holly Madison and a bevy of male and female dancers in the resident “PEEPSHOW,” a sexy, playful burlesque show that\u2019s appropriate for girls’ or boys’ nights out \u2014 and couples, too.<\/p>\n

Ever the partier, it’s likely this won’t be Harry\u2019s last jaunt to Sin City. As big brother Prince William’s already thrown the fairy-tale wedding of the decade, perhaps the free-wheeling bachelor might choose to tie the knot in one of the city’s famous drop-in chapels. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
