Wrexham's Las Vegas promotion party was put on hold for an hour - after the players reportedly found themselves stuck in a lift.
Phil Parkinson's side returned to Sin City for what has now become their traditional end-of-season party, after sealing their place in the Championship for the first time in 43 years, courtesy of a historic third straight promotion.
The club's Hollywood owners once again took centre-stage during the celebrations at the Racecourse Ground last month, with Rob McElhenney seen toasting the decisive win over Charlton Athletic alongside fellow co-owner Ryan Reynolds, whose wife Blake Lively was also in attendance.
However, the trip stateside to Vegas has been all about the players, and has reportedly cost McElhenney and Reynolds a staggering £500,000. Celebrate Wrexham's back2back2back promotion with our souvenir special edition ON SALE NOW
According to The Sun, the squad flew by private jet on Thursday, kicking off the celebrations with a pool party, before then heading to the iconic Bellagio Hotel and then on to to Hakkasan Nightclub.

Having been drinking all day, it's reported some members of the team got over-excited when they got in the lift to take them up to the entrance of the club on the fourth floor, with some jumping up and down.
It's claimed the lift then broke down, with firefighters taking an hour to get them out.
After being released, they were then treated to one of the best tables in the house, with onlookers claiming the players tipped their waitress £3,000.

Wrexham manager Parkinson isn't in attendance, and is instead likely to be plotting the club's assault on the second tier, where they will come up against fellow Welsh side Swansea, along with ex-Premier League clubs Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town.

Parkinson has previously said the incentive of the trip has helped drive his players to success, and joked he didn't want to know anything about what the boys were getting up to.
"They deserve the trip," he told BBC Sport Wales.

"To create history, and the owners said at the start of the season that they'd go again.
"That's a good target as well during the season, not just getting promotion and what it means to everybody.
"Having that group together next week [in Vegas] will be amazing.

Newly-single Romeo Beckham spotted on a low key stroll following shock split from Kim Turnbull after seven months of dating
Newly-single Romeo Beckham cut a sombre figure as he was spotted taking a stroll in London on Thursday, following his shock split from Kim Turnbull. The son of David and Victoria Beckham, 22, was joined by a pal on the outing as he ran errands in the capital. The Mail revealed earlier on Wednesday that the couple had gone their separate ways after seven months together, with friends saying that the romance ' fizzled out' three weeks after David's 50th birthday. Romeo first publicly launched his relationship with Kim last November after weeks of exchanging flirty 'likes' on Instagram however despite being warmly welcomed into the family, the relationship has now run its course. He cut a low key figure in a cream sweater and camouflage trousers which he teamed with a n orange baseball cap worn backwards. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Friends told The Mail that things remain 'amicable' between Romeo and Kim, and that their parting is 'nothing to do' with Kim being blamed by Nicola Peltz for being the catalyst for the feud that has ripped the Beckham family apart. One said: 'Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up. 'They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be. 'It happened a couple of weeks ago and relations have remained friendly between them. 'David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola and Brooklyn because that simply isn't the case. 'The fact is that Kim has got a really busy career as a DJ and Romeo has a busy work life too, there is lots of travelling for both of them at having a relationship at this time isn't all that conducive to their lives.' It comes following the news that dad David is to be awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honour's List after being snubbed for years. The former Manchester United and England star, who recently celebrated his milestone 50th birthday, will be confirmed as a 'Sir' when the list is released next week, according to The Sun. The son of David and Victoria Beckham (R) was joined by a pal (L) on the outing as he ran errands in the capital Romeo cut a low key figure in a cream sweater and camouflage trousers which he teamed with a n orange baseball cap worn backwards Romeo first publicly launched his relationship with Kim last November after weeks of exchanging flirty 'likes' on Instagram His wife and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham will be known as Lady Beckham. The tattooed ex-England captain last month chatted with King Charles at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London, with their bond reportedly growing close in recent years through their shared love of gardening. The 76-year-old monarch was heard congratulating the former England footballer on his landmark celebrations – and asked the star whether he had received their present. Standing outside the Highgrove stand run by the monarch's charity, the King's Foundation, Beckham – who is now an ambassador for the organisation – greeted the sovereign warmly and said: 'Your Majesty, it's so nice to see you.' Astonishingly, Charles then appeared to ask whether he had received the birthday present that he and his wife had sent. 'You got it, didn't you?' he asked. 'It was incredible,' beamed Beckham. 'Thank you, it was very kind.' Camilla added: 'Nice to see you again, glad you got the roses.' David, an avid royalist since he was a schoolboy in Chingford, has long craved for a knighthood and it appeared to be within his grasp having received an OBE from the late Queen in 2003. While his appointment as an ambassador to HM's charity the King's Foundation was deemed an encouraging sign earlier last year, but his complicated tax affairs had once been viewed as a possible barrier. And in February 2017, there was a slew of leaked emails showing the former footballer had appeared to unleash a barrage of expletives criticising the honours committee that had once again left him off the list for a coveted gong. There was also an alleged 2013 leaked email, when, bitter not to be knighted, he complained about Katherine Jenkins, fuming 'Katherine Jenkins OBE for what? Singing at the rugby and going to see the troops. Plus taking coke. F****** joke.' Sir Rod Stewart joked last summer that Beckham's knighthood was 'coming soon'. The rock star, 80, received his own knighthood in 2016 and made the quip as he appeared at the inaugural King's Foundation awards ceremony in London alongside his wife Penny Lancaster.

Love Island USA cast member REMOVED due to past racist slurs
A Love Island USA cast member has been removed from season 7 of the show after clips of her using racist slurs began to be shared online. Yulissa Escobar, 27, was released from the reality TV show off camera during the second episode, before the rest of the contestants woke up for the day. As the islanders were waking up, the narrator of the show Iain Stirling announced: 'Yulissa has left the villa.' Clips of Escobar using the N-word while discussing ex-boyfriends surfaced on Reddit and fans of the show were enraged. Some left comments on her Instagram that they would vote her off at the first opportunity. Yulissa was paired up with Ace Greene who is now single following her exit. One comment on the Reddit thread read: 'How [the f***] did producers let this slide? They for SURE saw this.' Another user replied: 'Yeah, if people on this sub can find this in a few days, casting should have DEFINITELY found this. So either they're not looking into people enough or they're choosing to let this stuff slide. Not sure which is worse.' The remaining season seven Islanders include: Chelley Bissainthe, Huda Mustafa, Belle-A Walker, Olandria Carthen, Greene, and Taylor Williams. Just a day before her exit from the program the budding reality star had been happily promoting the show on her Instagram. In one post, she wrote: 'It's my unapologetic year! And I'm choosing me, every time. Loud, soft, sweet, savage - whatever I feel like being.' In other Love Island-related posts, Escobar begged for votes to stay in the Villa. One post read: 'Say hello to your newest official islander on Love Island USA Season 7. Straight from Miami and headed to the villa! She's all about kindness, connection, and staying true to who she is. 'We can't wait for you to get to know her heart, her humor, and everything in between. Make sure you download love island app to vote for Yulissa!' Under that post one person wrote: 'Can she see these comments?? Or not yet cause she in the island? Honestly IDC but how hilarious when she comes out thinking she got all these fans but she's getting cancelled.'
