Estelle celebrates her birthday with a Jean Philippe cake at The Bank.
The two-part Wilhelmina model weekend takeover at The Bank Nightclub at the Bellagio wrapped up Saturday night. Thirty of Wilhelmina Modeling Agency’s top models, including Gabriel Aubrey, Sara McNeilly and Anna Zanovello as well as Wilhelmina president Sean Patterson spent their weekend in Sin City.
Saturday started with a light lunch at Diablo’s Cantina at the Monte Carlo. Then the models were n treated to a leisurely afternoon of hair and make-up, VIP-style, in their hotel suites by the staff of Michael Boychuck’s Color Salon before they headed out for another night on the town, Sin City-style.
The party, once again, started at dinner, this time at Yellowtail, where the models indulged in an exclusive selection of executive chef Akira Back’s most popular dishes as well as several of Yellowtail’s delicious specialty cocktails.
Around midnight, following dinner, the Wilhelmina crew headed to The Bank for another evening of dancing and partying with The Bank’s exclusive set of Saturday night partygoers and resident DJ Karma behind the turntables. Hanging out with the crew was birthday girl and Grammy Award winning songstress Estelle and style expert Robert Verdi. The Bank surprised the singing sensation when they presented Estelle with a specialty two-tiered Jean Philippe birthday cake.
The crew partied at The Bank until around 3 a.m. taking pictures with fans and dancing their last night in Las Vegas away.
