Bachelor Pad winners Natalie Getz and Dave Good were spotted poolside with fellow co-star Jesse Kovacs, sipping on cocktails and enjoying a VIP table during Manufactured Superstars DJ set. Natalie and Dave most notably rose to fame on the reality spin-off as they took their friendship to a romantic level during the Las Vegas excursion episode, before winning the competition overall. They also appeared together on last week’s Bachelor Pad episode as judges for the synchronized swimming contest. The trio was in town for Dave’s birthday celebration. Natalie glowed in a black and white striped bikini, ivory crocheted cover-up, and extremely short denim cutoffs, while the boys showcased their sexy physiques in board shorts and the XS signature Manufactured Superstars black-rimmed nerd glasses. Natalie tweeted about their exclusive VIP treatment, saying “Coolest table at XS… Vegas wouldn’t be the same without this wonderful experience.”

In a separate group, UFC star Tito Ortiz and wife Jenna Jameson hung out on stage during the event. The couple looked extremely happy and in love as they didn’t leave each other’s side all night.
