The big lights, the city, the music, the partying, the gambling… it is the city that never sleeps, but the imagine the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of being there and being told you have to sleep.
X Factor judge Louis Walsh has put his size tens down and banned any parties during the judges’ houses sessions in Las Vegas.
One of his acts, Mitsotu, revealed the Irish pop guy warned them that he wouldn’t put up with any rebellious antics in Vegas.
“There was a Prince Harry warning,” Mitsotu singer James Collins said, “Louis told us not to party!”
We think Louis learnt his lesson from the first night of boot camp. There were naked and drunken high jinx after a free-for-all party on the first night in Liverpool.
“People were running down corridors naked. It was crazy. People were hooking up everywhere. Everyone was trying to show off their X Factor in all senses. We set our own rules.”
Ahh Louis, leave them off in Vegas… it obviously makes exciting TV!
James and his bandmates, Holly Cooper and Jimmy Essex, will be seen in Las Vegas this weekend as they compete for a spot in the live shows.

Welcome to one of the most exciting cities in the world… now go to bed.
Rival group act Poisonous Twin, featuring Liverpool girls Sophie Houghton and Stephanie McMichael, said they were scared at the judges’ houses stage of the competition.
“We’ve made some great friends and we love Louis Walsh, he is great. But it is definitely one of the scariest things I’ve ever done, I could barely even speak when I got there, but it means so much to both of us.”
Louis will be joined in Vegas by his long-time buddy Sharon Osbourne who will make her return to the reality show to help pick the live acts.
Expect a show full of drama, tension, singing of course… and a few surprises!
Tune in tomorrow and Sunday on ITV and TV3.
