A source said of the antics: “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.”

Wrexham's end of season jolly to Las Vegas has become a tradition under Reynolds and McElhenney, who have seen the club rise from the National League to the Championship in the last three years after back-to-back-to-back promotions.

Paul Mullin confirmed to back in May 2023 that Reynolds and McElhenney foot the entire bill for their trips, saying: "It became a thing where if we won the league, we’d get a holiday. So we’re off to Vegas.

"Ryan and Rob told us to leave our cards at home, they're sorting the lot. They sent us a full itinerary just now."
