WREXHAM AFC players got stuck in a lift for an hour during their wild promotion bash in Las Vegas.

The players flew by private jet to Vegas on Thursday and kicked off the fun at a pool party.
A source said: “After leaving there, the players went back to the Bellagio Hotel to get ready before heading to Hakkasan Nightclub.
They’d been drinking all day and were a bit over-excited when they got in the lift to go up to the entrance of the club on the fourth floor.
“They started messing around by jumping up and down.
“Next thing they knew, the lift came to an abrupt stop and would no longer move.
“They ended up having a sobering hour-long wait for firefighters to help get them out.”
When they were finally released, bosses Ryan and Rob had paid for them to have the best table in the house.
Onlookers said those on the Owners Table of the venue on Las Vegas Boulevard tipped their waitress £3,000.
Deadpool star Ryan and fellow actor Rob bought Wrexham in 2020 for £2million when it was a non-league club.
It is now worth more than £100million.
The Hollywood pair’s exploits have been documented in their TV series Welcome to Wrexham.
It has seen the North Wales club win their third promotion in a row under manager Phil Parkinson.
