There were loads of Cork people at Conor McGregor’s ’private’ Las Vegas party last weekend

Many of our readers have heard of Brian Lenihan’s luck in blagging his way into Conor McGregor’s party last weekend in Las Vegas. We’ve since learned it’s not as hard to get in as Lenihan made it out to be.

Lenihan played the long game, befriending security guards and party-goers alike to blend in.

“We were talking to the security guards, just getting friendly, trying to find a way in,” Lenihan said. “We were talking for 10 minutes and then just walked straight in.

“We didn’t get stopped, no money asked for, just walked straight in, stamp on the hand and all.

“I got chatting to a guy in the VIP area, near Conor’s tent,” he described. “I just kept chatting for about 10 minutes, and then just walked over the rope, still talking to him.

“I gave him a hug and then security aren’t taking any notice because they think I’m supposed to be there.”

It sounded like a great achievement, but one of our readers has shared her own snaps from the party that she merely walked into. And while Lenihan was shy about asking for a single photo with McGregor, Cork woman Grace Kavanagh took dozens of selfies of herself and her friends with the Dublin fighter.

"It wasn't hard to get into the pool party at all," Kavanagh told the Irish Examiner. "It was empty enough," she joked.

Looks like Brian Lenihan needn't have planned and worried so much about it.

Kavanagh managed to take loads of photos with McGregor and her friends, who are also from Cork.

It wasn't the first time Kavanagh met McGregor either.

"I also travelled to Boston back in January for the Denis Siver fight and met him there," she says.

It's a small world!
