'Vanderpump Rules' Cast Parties In Downtown Vegas For 'Life is Beautiful' Festival

The 'Vanderpump Rules' cast is preparing for the season 9 premiere of their popular reality show, and what better way to celebrate but a trip to Las Vegas!

Scheana Shay, fiancé Brock Davies, Tom Sandoval, and girlfriend, Ariana Madix hopped on the short 45-minute flight from Los Angeles to experience Vegas’ annual three-day 'Life is Beautiful' Festival.

To fuel up for a fun-filled weekend, Scheana brought the crew to one of her current favorite restaurants, Barry’s Downtown Prime, located in Circa Resort & Casino.  The double date began with some of the restaurant’s signature appetizers and entrees, which left the stars desiring to share with their combined 3.6 million Instagram followers.  The lobster tail, surf & turf, and sizzling veggies hit their stories quicker than the plates hit the table.  The entrees were followed by the most Instagrammable dessert platter that has ever existed.  Carrot cake, cookies, and other beautiful pastries adorned the tray that was served to both their table and fanbase.

Afterward, their stomachs were full, and so were their hearts. The stars yearned to thank the man behind the mouth-watering meal.  Celebrity chef/co-owner Barry Dakake, who Scheana has met many times, went out of his way to provide the group exceptional service. This gesture affirms the restaurant’s reputation for demonstrating classic Vegas hospitality from start to finish.

Following their meal, the group decided to plan out the festivities for the next day. They embarked on a tour of Circa Resort by hotel executive, Richard Wilk, who led them through the buzzing property. Circa’s Owner/CEO Derek Stevenshappened to be walking through the first-floor casino at the same time, which delivered the perfect opportunity for some introductions. The stars were eager to take a picture with the humble and beloved casino owner, before moving on with the remainder of the tour.  As they explored the amenities, they passed groups of starry-eyed fans who were eager to catch a glimpse of their favorite stars.

The next day, the 'Vanderpump Rules' stars dipped into the world’s largest outdoor pool amphitheater, appropriately named Stadium Swim, is Vegas’ most remarkable pool experience, to the point where multiple copy-cats are popping up around town.  It’s hard to blame the imitators, as Stadium Swim’s most notable feature is a 143-foot diagonal screen, which broadcasts all of the biggest games in sports, 365 days a year.  With six pools on three different levels, the Vanderpump squad knew they needed to spend the whole day in that atmosphere.  They partied VIP style in one of the venue’s private, air-conditioned cabanas.

As always, partying at the pool works up an appetite, and they were lucky to get a batch of Stadium Swim’s famous chicken fritters, accompanied by a few rounds of cocktails.

Scheana posted several photos from the party, saying, “Can moms thirst trap too?”

The answer was a resounding YES after Scheana posed the question as a caption on her cabana bikini picture. 

After an action-packed day filled with fun, excitement, and fan encounters, the friends headed back to their hotel rooms to rest up before hitting the festival the next day.  Tom and Ariana stayed in one of Circa’s luxurious guest rooms, and Scheana and Brock opted for an amenity-packed suite down the street at Circa’s sister property, the D Las Vegas.
