ONE Direction has reportedly been thrown out of a string of Las Vegas casinos.
According to The Sun, the boyband were denied entry to several establishments during a break in their US tour as they are all under 21, the legal age for gambling in the state of Nevada. A source said: “The boys were hoping to go wild in Vegas gambling into the early hours. But security at every casino in town knew who the lads were and threw them out.” They added: “Finding out the hotel suite they had ordered wasn’t the one in The Hangover was also pretty annoying.” The ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ stars were said to have stayed at the city’s Palms Casino Resort, in a two-floor suite with its own hot-tub, pool table and basketball half-court.             –TS
