Keeping it real HOT! Mike Posner at Wet Republic! PLUS Laura Croft!

Mike Posner

Laura Croft

On Friday, May 6 one of mainstream radio’s hottest names Mike Posner performed at WET REPUBLIC at MGM Grand and later that evening at PURE Nightclub at Caesars Palace. The singer/songwriter began his day at the hottest Las Vegas pool party joining bikini clad beauties as he put on a sizzling performance that followed the second round of the SpyOnVegas.com Hot 100 weekly contest series.

Before kicking off the entertainment, the chart-topping artist hyped the crowd and brought them to their feet when he addressed them. “If you came here today to party,” said Posner, “I wanna hear you make some noise!”

Posner put on a full performance for his fans at the dayclub. At one point during his set, the Detroit native was handed a Redwings baseball cap from a fan that he willingly wore for most of his performance. With a confident stage presence, he easily convinced the Sin City partygoers to snap their fingers in synchronization, wave their arms and bounce up and down all together. Other great moments included when the fearless performer climbed on top of the DJ booth while singing the flirty tune “Bow Chicka Wow Wow” and then finishing by jumping into the crowd. After a sizzling set, and with the desert temperature rising, the humble artist couldn’t resist jumping into WET REPUBLIC’s spectacular 3,500 square feet saltwater pool. He spent the remainder of the day in there mingling and taking photos with his fans.

From daylife to nightlife the popular artist continued his Sin City experience by wrapping up his visit at Las Vegas’ hotspot, PURE Nightclub. Putting on another highly anticipated performance for the clubgoers the 23 year old began his encore set with "Please Don’t Go" one of his hit singles from his solo album 31 Minutes to Takeoff.  Reveling with his fans as he sang live inside the mega club, the dynamic artist held his microphone out into the crowd as the fans sang back a favorite “Cooler Than Me” effortlessly. Following his performance Posner and his friends made their way to their VIP cabana that was located atop of the nightclub on the Terrace. He and his entourage were seen drinking and dancing until the early hours of the morning as the enjoyed the fabulous Las Vegas warm weather.

Also seen partying at WET REPUBLIC that day was E! Entertainment’s Holly’s World star Laura Croft.
