Prince Harry Heading to Vegas

He'll get a Sin City break during helicopter training

(Newser) – Prince Harry is about to show off his legendary partying skills in the party capital of the world—Las Vegas. The royal boozer, who tumbled into a pool last week while dancing at one of his recent bashes, is heading to California and Arizona for 12 weeks of helicopter training. But he'll take a couple of days off for some Sin City R&R, sources tell the London Mirror. Vegas "is a chance for pilots to let their hair down, kick back, and enjoy themselves," said the source.

Partying isn't all Harry's good at, apparently. He's considered a talented pilot, even if he does struggle a bit with math calculations required for his trips. "We wouldn't risk our equipment, the safety of Harry, his co-pilot, or the team around them if we didn't think he was the best man for the job," an official tells the Daily Mail.

Harry is insignificant. Jesus accomplished more during his time on earth. Question: Does the Royal Family in England donate any part of their massive fortune to help the poor? Poverty is rampant all over the world.

Harry a word to the wise. Contrary to the ads " What happens in Vegas" doesn't always stay in Vegas. Now when your visit is in the news in advance you know the shutterbugs will be around like flies
