CONOR McGREGOR cut loose over the weekend while in Las Vegas to attend Gervonta Davis’ knockout win over Ryan Garcia.
The Notorious was the centre of attention on the casino floor as he flashed the cash whilst trying his luck on Sin City’s craps tables.

Donning a fluorescent orange jacket for the evening, the 34-year-old mingled with fans as they crowded round his table.
Ever the showman, he then whipped the crowd up into a further frenzy by fanning himself with a wad of cash before rolling a die.
He described the scene as: “Gambling in Las Vegas, Nevada. One of life’s great pleasures.”
The former two-weight UFC champion could be seen sipping from his own brand of whiskey as he revelled in the boisterous atmosphere.
While the gambling capital of the world on a Saturday night is always going to be a thriving spot, this one was particularly busy as it was one of the biggest fight nights of the year.
And in another social media clip, McGregor could be seen and heard giving a pep talk to Garcia in the changing room after he suffered the first loss of his pro career.
The 24-year-old was stopped in the seventh round of his catchweight clash with ‘Tank’ Davis – who remained unbeaten.
But in a spirited speech, the Dubliner urged him to keep his head up as he still has his best days ahead of him.
McGregor said: “He’s 1-0 on you. Youse are the two biggest names in the division. I want to see it again.
“I want to see it again now and I want to see it with no rehydration clause.
“All respect to you. You are the future of this game. I am going to watch you all the way.”
Garcia shared the video of the exchange to Instagram, which he captioned: “All good he’s up on me! I went thru fire for this fight
“I’m going to come back stronger!! Rack up a couple more wins to run this back! Hopefully we can do it at 140 no clauses!
“Great Job to Gervonta great fight and fighter!!!”
TANK PLOUGHS ON
Davis pulled off one of the biggest wins of his career with a stunning shot to the body, and declared it as a dream come true.
He said: “I was excited to be part of this event I remember coming up in Golden Gloves and seeing Floyd fight at the MGM and it was crazy.
“I just saw Rihanna perform at the Super Bowl and I was like, ‘That’s going to be me.’ Now we’re here.
“It definitely matched the dream but the job isn’t done until I retire.
“I’m gonna keep my head down, stay humble and continue to work.”
