Richard Branson sure appear like hes putting his billionaire space race on the back burner … cause the only thing hes banking on this weekend is Vegas, baby!!!

However, with Nevada lifting restrictions on June 1, Branson launched his official grand opening this weekend … calling it “Unstoppable Weekend.” He and his team hit up the joint and distributed lots of cool things, and he took selfies with guests all over the gambling establishment.

The Virgin Galactic honcho was a true ring leader Friday in Sin City, and dressed the part while wandering around his new Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. It officially opened back in March, but the celebration was largely muted due to the pandemic.

Appears like fun, however likewise looks like a strange method to train for a sub-orbital flight to area in just 3 weeks! We cant remember any pictures of John Glenn or the Apollo 11 team at a craps table. & #x 1f937; & #x 1f3fd; & #x 200d; & #x 2642; & #xfe 0f;

These Vegas pictures might have Bezos believing hes got an edge in the “whose is bigger” competitors with Branson. Stay tuned …

Keep in mind, Bransons apparently attempting to move up his Virgin Galactic launch to the July 4 weekend in an effort to beat Amazons Jeff Bezos out of Earths atmosphere.

Bezos revealed he and his brother will be on the very first crewed flight for his Blue Origin aerospace company, which is set for July 20.
