A Weekend to Remember: Unwell Vegas with Sonja Morgan and Reality TV Stars
There I was, in the backseat of an Uber, cruising down the Las Vegas Strip with Real Housewives icon Sonja Morgan. But let’s rewind for a moment; I need to tell you how I landed in this whirlwind of glam and drama at Alex Cooper’s Unwell Vegas.
The Invitation
When the invite to Unwell Vegas landed in my inbox, my curiosity was piqued. A weekend-long extravaganza hosted by Alex Cooper at the Cosmopolitan Hotel promised an impressive lineup of reality TV stars, including creators like Harry Jowsey, Owen Thiele, and Hallie Batchelder. Not to mention performances from powerhouses like Bethenny Frankel, Meredith Marks, and of course, Lady Morgan herself. Little did I know, my weekend would involve dancing poolside and sharing rides with these icons.
Diving Right In
With just 36 hours in Las Vegas, I was determined to make every moment count. I kicked off my adventure with a rejuvenating facial featuring products from Paris Hilton’s new skincare line, Parívie. After that, I treated myself to a glam session with the Tarte Cosmetics team. Inspired by a TikTok of Hailey Bieber’s “toasty makeup look,” I walked out looking fabulous, ready for what was next.
Partying Poolside with Paris Hilton
Next on the agenda was the highly anticipated pool party, DJed by none other than Paris Hilton herself. Picture this: an open bar, sunshine pouring down, and Paris spinning tracks that had everyone dancing like there was no tomorrow. The atmosphere was just as chaotic and energetic as you’d expect from a Call Her Daddy event. It was pure, sun-drenched Vegas fun.
Special Guests and Surprises
The highlight of the day? A surprise appearance by Kathy Hilton, donning a laid-back bucket hat. Her vibe was infectious, and when Alex Cooper took to the dance floor like a booth bunny behind Paris, you couldn’t help but get swept up in the energy.
The Main Event: Unwell Live
After a quick power nap and outfit change, it was time for the main event: Unwell Live. The show kicked off with a jaw-dropping performance from Thunder Down Under, Australia’s answer to Magic Mike. The highlight? Hallie Batchelder receiving an unforgettable lap dance on stage, which set the tone for the night.
Erika Jayne from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills took over emceeing duties next. Comedians Heather McMahan and Cat Cohen kept the audience roaring with laughter. The comedic highlight came when Stassi Schroeder joined forces with the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast for a round of Never Have I Ever, ensuring everyone was on the edge of their seats.
A Bizarre Culinary Moment
One of the wildest moments of the night happened when Kathy Hilton unexpectedly commandeered the stage. In a spontaneous turn of events, she proposed that everyone eat hot dogs. Why? No one knew, and honestly, none of us needed an explanation. As the three women took bites of the overcooked dogs, their facial expressions went from playful to horrified, much to the audience’s amusement—and disbelief.
A Nightcap with Sonja
After the event, my plans to see the Chainsmokers DJ set took a backseat to spontaneity. As Serendipity would have it, I ended up in Sonja Morgan’s Uber, headed to the Wynn Hotel. With glasses raised high, we toasted to an unforgettable weekend that blurred the lines between reality TV and real life.
This wasn’t just a typical Las Vegas trip; it was a whirlwind of glitz, glamour, and unexpected moments that celebrated the essence of reality TV. In 36 hours, I experienced the kind of chaos that only happens when you’re surrounded by some of the biggest personalities in entertainment. What happens in Vegas may stay there, but the memories—oh, they’ll last a lifetime!
