Austin North may be known for playing the King of the Kooks on the hit Netflix show, "Outer Banks," but in the real world he fits in much more with John B and the rest of the Pogues.
North, who plays the ultimate country club villain, Topper Thornton on the series, hit up Las Vegas for his 25th birthday and celebrated with a few of his famous friends at one Sin City's hottest properties, Circa Las Vegas.
We're told Austin North actually visited Circa on the day the second season of "Outer Banks" dropped on Netflix, so the celebration was both for his birthday and the series, which is already expected to return for a third season.
North was joined by actor Jake Short, best known for his role as Fletcher Quimby in the Disney Channel comedy series "A.N.T. Farm," along with Corbyn Besson and Daniel Seavey, members of the popular boy band, Why Don’t We.
The young stars captured the attention of fans throughout the buzzing casino, but this especially held true at Circa’s outdoor pool amphitheater, Stadium Swim, where the quartet enjoyed their own private cabana all weekend. We're told fans continuously approached the stars at the pool and the guys were more than happy to chat and take pictures with new Vegas faces, as they all cheered and soaked in the Gold Cup Final on Stadium Swim’s massive 143 ft. diagonal screen.
After working up a solid appetite at the pool, North and his crew got dinner at Barry’s Downtown Prime. They were escorted to a lavish private dining area where they indulged in top-notch appetizers, entrees, desserts, and world-class hospitality by the restaurant staff. Celebrity chef, and namesake, Barry S. Dakake, personally greeted North's party, made sure they were taken care of, and made it that much more memorable by posing in the kitchen for one of his coolest photos yet.
North and his crew also took some time to hang out with Circa’s CEO/Owner Derek Stevens, and wife Nicole, who were happy to share some drinks and laughs with the stars at Nevada’s longest bar, MEGABAR.
After a fun-filled day, a nightcap at Legacy Club was in the cards. The guys headed up to Circa’s 60th-floor rooftop lounge, and relished in the panoramic views of the valley at the exclusive lounge.
Ok, so maybe they ended the day like The Kooks.
