- What happens when you accidentally,
and probably incorrectly,
get invited to an exclusive gentleman's weekend in Vegas?
- [Woman] I've literally never seen Vegas like this.
(game sounding)
- [Woman] Oh no!
My dad would be so mad at me!
- [Man] Here we go!
(screaming)
(explosion booming)
- [Woman] Do I have to do this to prove my manhood?
We'll find out.
It's Ladylike,
and this weekend I'm having myself
a little private gentlemen's weekend in Vegas.
(upbeat music)
So a couple weeks ago,
I got an email inviting me
to this exclusive gentlemen's weekend in Vegas.
This email got me thinking about the gentlemen in my life
and how I kind of just want
to show them a little appreciation.
I live with my boyfriend Patrick.
I live with our roommate Ross
Come to Buzzfeed shirtless?
- Oh, I brought a shirt.
I had to work out!
I came from the gym.
I had to get swole for Vegas, baby!
- And then I live with my two boy cats,
Mars and Bones.
And then it got me thinking,
like hell no.
This email was sent to me.
Like, I want to go to a gentlemen's weekend in Vegas.
So I'm coming with.
Then I invited myself to this thing
that I passed along to Ross and Pat.
And then I thought,
well I don't want to go to Vegas with two boys,
cause then I'm just gonna get outnumbered,
because duh, math.
So then I was like,
well, we've gotta invite Della.
I want to put on a suit and order people around
and smoke some cigars and drink some whiskey
and talk the ladies.
I don't think we're going to be doing any of those things,
but a girl can dream.
What does one usually expect from a boy's trip to Vegas?
- It's as many dudes as you can cram into one hotel room
to save money cause you're not gonna be in there much,
but that still results
in just weird sleeping arrangements.
- Bruh, I mean bring your checkbook,
like there's a reason that guys always want to sit
on the crab's table or the blackjack table.
It's the only time guys get free drinks in Vegas
is while you're losing hundreds of dollars to the casino.
- Vegas is coming to try to take your money at every turn.
You go sit in a lawn chair by a pool that you're like
oh, this is fine,
and then they're like
that's 40 dollars.
- I've been waiting for a gentlemen's weekend in Vegas
my whole life it feels like.
Girl Vegas demands a lot from you before you get there.
- There's just a lot of pre-production.
- What am I gonna be wearing?
- The kind of alcohol you're bringing with.
- What am I gonna look for there?
- There's a lot of shopping involved.
- It's very much like how can I prepare myself
to be the best that I can be to like,
destroy myself internally?
There is no pre-production with the male version of Vegas.
You show up,
you're unprepared,
you have one shirt and two pairs of pants.
- [Devin] Yeah.
- You make it work for three days,
and you like, crawl to the finish line to make it home.
(record scratch)
- [Devin] Is she wrong?
- No, that's pretty spot on.
- So yeah, there's definitely like,
an emphasis on being seen if you're a girl
and doing the seeing if you're a guy.
- [Devin] Yeah, but we're going to take it seriously.
- Oh, it's going to be dead serious.
(Devin laughing)
- Alright, so we leave for Vegas for tomorrow,
we've got to start packing,
we've got to start getting ready,
and I'm really looking forward
to what the Cosmopolitan has planned for us.
Cut to the pre-pro of Vegas!
Morning of,
we're about to start packing up to go to Vegas
and I have to answer an important question for Ross,
oh my god.
- Which shoes to bring to Vegas?
So I need some opinions.
- Devin knows, always pack as light as possible.
And a lot of times, try to minimize what I bring,
but I don't know what we're doing,
so I'm bringing a lot of clothes.
- [Devin] You taking that cat?
(sighs)
(upbeat music)
- No, he can gentleman here.
- We are off and ready to go.
- Yes, yes, yes!
Okay, I think I'm gonna call Vegas
the goose now, as in like
Ve-goose, the goose.
- Off to the goose.
Lucy goosey baby!
(upbeat music)
- I do this,
a wildly different experience from any other time
I've gone to Vegas.
- Yeah, so far I think I'm handling
this transition pretty well.
- I'm just happy to be at the top
of the rollercoaster right now and we'll see where it goes.
- I've always had to drive like, six hours in traffic,
and now we're going in this car to a VIP entrance.
(upbeat music)
- [Devin] This is the 007 treatment.
- Yeah, this is next level.
- Here we go baby girl.
To a gentlemen's weekend.
- Cheers.
To a gentlemen's weekend.
- Gentlemen's weekend.
- May the best gentleman win.
(upbeat music)
- [Devin] These are crazy rooms!
- [Della] Oh my god!
- [Devin] This is our view!
- Oh my god, I've literally never seen Vegas
like this in my whole life
and I've been here like, a million times.
(screams)
(laughs)
- This hotel room is insane.
- [Ross] Out of control.
- We need to show you around.
(Della screams)
- [Ross] Yas, yas, yas, yas!
- I kind of cried.
- [Devin] For free.
- This is out of control.
Look at this.
Guys, this wine is chocolate.
- Opening these goodies.
Hello Devin,
welcome to the Cosmopolitan.
We're thrilled to have you join us for the next couple days.
Should you need anything during your stay,
please don't hesitate to reach out.
That's so nice!
And it's hand-written!
Wow, this is so much y'all.
- [Della] Cheers.
- [Devin] You guys, how?
(ding)
- So, for the first event tonight,
we're going to a happy hour.
And then after this, we're going to a hockey game.
So, and we can't shoot at the hockey game unfortunately.
But we can show you all the appetizers that we've had.
They have been delicious.
(relaxing string music)
I've never had caviar before in my life,
but apparently it is a gentlemen's experience.
It's pretty delicious, I'm not going to lie.
Caviar tastes good.
It tastes like money.
(ding)
- This is the Talon Club,
but this is kind of a hidden gem
in the Cosmopolitan when it comes to high-end gaming.
And Phil's gonna tell you a little
about what we're going to do with the slots.
- We are doing our Talon Club gaming experience
here at the Cosmopolitan.
Oh, the slot tournament!
Five minute rounds!
Everybody gets to play twice.
Your top score from two sessions goes towards the prize pool
to win free swag and even a suit.
- [Devin] Now I'm salivating.
I want that suit!
(people chattering)
- Oh let's go!
(ding)
- It's like a video game.
It's like Mario Party.
- [Della] If she wins, it's a women's suit?
Amazing.
- We need thirty-one thousand,
it's the winning score.
Okay.
Twenty thousand.
- [Della] She's crossed twenty.
- I want that suit, I want that suit, I want that suit.
- [Della] Three, two, one.
(cheering)
Yes girl!
I need your thoughts.
What are your thoughts?
Fresh off your mind.
- Thirty-three thousand.
I'm really trying to get that suit.
I was really focusing hard.
Really working this trigger hand.
- [Phil] We're gonna take the highest of your two scores.
So we'll take a brief respite,
stretch your fingers,
have a sip of your drink.
- Okay, round two!
Round two!
- [Phil] Three, two, one!
(buttons mashing)
- It's so hard!
I was winning!
(people chattering)
Oh, Gary!
I'll never forgive you Gary.
- [Ross] Big money, big money!
I'm coming for you Gary!
- Whoa!
Guess Devin's back in the race!
- What?
No!
Yes!
(buttons mashing)
Forty seconds left!
Fifty-one?
Gary!
(sad music)
This is my Vegas.
It's good to you, and then it's real bad to you.
My poor heart.
- That's our first ever slots tournament.
- I feel like all the training I've put in
over this last year really helped.
You know, you've gotta work on the fundamentals
to really work those slot machines.
- I was proud of my consistent performance.
I got dead last both times,
so walking away with forty thousand dollars is, ya know.
- [Devin] We're not actually walking away
with forty thousand dollars you guys.
(ding)
- So Della, how many women do you think
will be in this experience?
- Definitely us.
- We really need to have them bring that gentleman energy.
- I know next to nothing about sports,
but love enthusiasm, so
we're gonna have fun.
- We're gonna have fun.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Let's go show them what it's all about.
(upbeat music)
- This is insane.
- [Devin] I, I'm never gonna see Patrick again.
- [Ross] Yeah, basically.
(upbeat music)
- [Della] Are you keeping up with gentlemen's weekend?
How's it going?
- I think so.
I was feeling a little bit
behind in gentlemen's weekend,
and then I got a basketball in my hands,
some of them are heating up in
my (bleep) with my ball.
Nah.
Hey squirt, hey squirmy!
If I wanted to drop to my knees
and propose to Patrick at this moment,
it'd be the happiest day of his life.
This would be the moment to do it.
Unfortunately, I'm just here to win.
(Devin screaming)
(ding)
- Della and I took a hard left
from basketball hoops and hops
over to a spa.
But so far, I feel like we've been really overthinking
the whole gentlemen's experience.
It's just--
- Like ladies, don't ever think you're men.
- Boys are getting spa treatments too.
Cause I left them with a camera.
- I'm walking away from March Madness and booze
to get a spa treatment.
I'm not mad at it actually.
I could really--
- It sounds like it's gonna be nice
to just kind of relax,
get away from everything for a little bit.
I'm one.
- So to ask this one question,
whether or not we wanted to
be in separate rooms or the same room for our massage.
- Easy decision.
Same room.
- Couple's massage.
Do it.
- [Devin] I feel like I'm entering a futuristic movie,
like minority report.
- So I heard that the ladies
were having a gentlemen's weekend on March Madness
and I thought I'd rescue them
from hoops and hops and bring them up to the spa
for a little bit of relaxation.
- Oh, private elevator.
- Men and women are pretty much given the same treatment.
Men are very hands-on.
They want a massage.
And women love massage,
but they also love their facials as well,
make them look beautiful and feel beautiful for the night.
(soothing music)
- Greetings from the other side of this massage.
A man experience.
- Oh my god.
- I feel like I was just anointed a goddess,
and they'd light us on a stone.
- It was everything I've ever wanted and more.
- They scrubbed our bodies,
they made us into a little bubble,
the boys have no idea.
- I am so relaxed.
- Words almost fail me.
- We heard that they had a gentlemen's massage,
with basically,
- Icey-hot?
- Icey-hot.
- Cause I am too blissed out.
Chilling.
- We were taken such good care of.
- I know.
- Like, every step of the process was like,
is this okay for you?
- Honestly, this should be
on for gentlemen's weekend itineraries.
- Yep.
- Alright, we've gotta go put our clothes back on
and go meet up with those boys.
We got back from our massages
and we took a little bit of a break
and we're now getting ready.
This is girl Vegas.
And then the boys.
- Classic boy Vegas.
Chilling, watching sports, drinking and with the snacks.
- Third cheese plate.
- [Ross] Third cheese plate.
Very plush.
While the girls are getting ready.
(ding)
- [Devin] Thank goodness we didn't stay out late last night
because we have an activity today at 7:40 in the morning
that the real gentlemen of Las Vegas have to get to.
Right Pat?
We're gonna do it, okay.
Let's do it.
(peaceful music)
(upbeat music)
- We are driving exotic super cars,
I've never done this before.
- [Devin] Is this peak gentleman?
- I don't think I'm feeling any kind of peak performance
at the moment but we'll get there.
- Instead of just taking a driver's license,
I thought they should like,
look at your driving history.
(Devin laughing)
But then I wouldn't be allowed to do this.
- I would feel comfortable in a Ford Focus.
- I would feel comfortable
if I was still laying down in my bed.
(laughing)
- I'm already annoyed at how loud it is.
(Devin and Della laugh)
Walking around out here,
there's all these like, cars.
I don't get the thing with guys and cars
and sitting in nice cars and driving fast
and how that equates to like manliness?
- I mean, that's why we're here.
We're here to figure it out.
Can I fit all my muscles into one of these cars?
(laughing)
I am a 5'10" woman, trying to get in this car.
Do you have an aux cord?
- I hear that the higher the spoiler,
the closer you're done.
- Okay, so we just got out of the briefing room.
- I'm not gonna enjoy this.
- Where we learned how driving
super cars is counterintuitive to normal driving.
I so just did the ride-along tour of the track.
The guy went really fast in what looked like
a very nice SUV type car,
and I'm petrified.
Do I have to do this to prove my manhood?
(beeping)
(car engine revving)
- Oh no, my dad would be so mad at me!
(energetic music)
- [Man] There you go, accelerate.
(Della mimicking car noises)
- That was a blast!
- The power on this thing is insane!
We got a car champ.
Second, and fourth.
- [Devin] You were one of the most skeptical people
when we came to this,
so how do you feel now?
Do you feel a little bit more
connected to your masculinity?
- The cars, I was like, super scared of,
but then it was really like, a lot of fun
and I got to kind of just go at my own pace
and not have to try and match these guys.
- Alright crew, so that was our race-car experience.
Definitely feeling way more gentlemanly.
(ding)
- My name's Sosa.
I am a master barber here at the barber shop
in the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.
Patrick is getting his ass shaved for this.
No Patrick's in for a grooming,
so we're going to clean him up.
We're gonna line up his beard
and make him all nice and lovely for his lady.
- [Devin] Have you seen Ross's flowing mane?
- [Sosa] Yes we have.
It's coming all off.
- Uh, lowkey, and also highkey,
I do not like Ross's beard
and like, I kind of tell him to his face all the time,
so I've asked him to please make part of his grooming today
to at least like, make it look better.
- I'm loving it! Spontaneous decision.
Do a little undercut there and otherwise trim it up.
I'm feeling it.
- Alright.
Much needed.
Feeling it,
it feels like one of the best haircuts I've ever gotten.
You know I don't let anybody ever touch the beard,
so a lot of trust there.
- [Ross] Looking real good, buddy.
- I've needed this the whole trip.
I think I'm ready for whatever we're doing tonight.
- All of this haircuttery
has gotten me hangry
for like, a little,
- Pampering of our own.
- Little zhuzh.
(rave music)
- [Devin] Hello!
Thank you!
(ding)
- I'm Simon Pedigro.
I'm senior vice-president
of resort operations,
which is a fancy title
for I'm the food, marriage, and hotel guy.
Nobody else has the perspective
in their luxury suite product that they enjoy here.
You've seen a lot of the amenities
that we've curated to take care of the highest-end guests.
But this is really the heartbeat of it.
So there are twenty-one of these suites
on these four levels,
they range from four bedrooms down to one bedrooms.
Some have sauna rooms, some have a massage room,
some have a salon.
- How much you want to bet Beyonce and Jay-Z have a bathtub
like this puppy?
- I've seen it before.
- These penthouse suites are like,
the ultimate luxurious gentlemen Vegas experience,
but gentlemen come at all social classes,
so even though this is super beautiful and super dope,
you don't need to have a penthouse to be a gentleman.
So guys, our final evening in Vegas,
we are going to a private jet hanger for dinner
so we can sit by the jet
and then we're taking a helicopter over the strip.
- Get the (bleep) out of here!
- Yes!
- Millionaire lifestyle.
- We're taking a helicopter over the strip.
- Oh my god!
What?!
Dude.
- Ending on a high note.
Quite literally.
- Literally the highest.
(ding)
(upbeat electronic music)
- So we're here, about to have dinner.
It looks delicious.
- We are in the Cosmopolitan Hanger,
and I'm a little disappointed
to find out we're having guaco beef and not hanger steak.
- So as a consensus as a group,
I think this was the best meal I've had in my entire life.
- Basically ever.
- Unbelievable food.
I don't know how you take a strawberry
or like, asparagus and turn it into something
that is the best version of that ever,
capped off by a cigar box and cocktail
that literally everything was edible.
- And the thing is,
you don't need all these things to be a gentleman.
You could be a gentleman without the private jet,
the delicious beef, any of this.
We're seeing the lifestyle of certain types of gentlemen,
which I think we wouldn't,
I, we, would never get to,
experience before. - No.
- So right at the end of dinner,
we're gonna go on a helicopter tour guys.
(cheering)
(bleep)
- Let's get airborne,
I've been sitting next to a plane.
I've been trying to get into the sky.
- Let's do this.
(ding)
- Hi, I'm Clance and we're here with Maverick Helicopters
and we're gonna take a flight over the Las Vegas strip.
We're gonna see Ballagio Fountains,
we're gonna see the High Roller Ferris Wheel.
We're just gonna have a good time.
- What?
I've never stepped into a helicopter with heels on.
- [Ross] Here we go!
(Della screaming)
(upbeat music)
How is this real?
Helicopters are a hell of a drug.
That's all I have to say.
(energetic electronic music)
And that sort of wraps up our gentlemen's Vegas vacation.
- Yes, we are now distinctly no longer VIP.
- Yeah, we are not VIP anymore.
We're not VIP gentlemen,
but I'd like to think that I really accessed
a part of myself that is suave,
has good basketball moves,
can appreciate a great whiskey,
proving that masculine-feminine dynamics
is all about the energy that you carry in your body.
Not necessarily any kind of trope.
Thank you Vegas.
- Thank you Vegas.
- Wow, what a learning opportunity.
What else can we learn from Vegas?
We should go find Ross and Della though
'cus we lost them.
