Here’s What John Travolta Did in Las Vegas to Celebrate His 69th Birthday
Originally published at Vital Vegas
Travolta enjoyed a “Viva Las Vegas”-themed visit to Sin City with his daughter, Ella, and a group of friends.
When we started this story, we thought it was just going to be an excuse to make a 69 joke. But, wait, there’s more. While a number of news outlets shared the birthday excursion, they didn’t get into the specifics of what Travolta and his squad did when they were in Las Vegas. We’ve got this.
Travolta shared a montage of his Las Vegas visit on Instagram, and it’s a glimpse into what it’s like to get the VIP treatment when super rich and famous.
The video starts with a tweaked version of a classic TWA ad with the words “Fly Travolta World Airlines” added. Travolta is an accomplished pilot.
Travolta’s video shows his fellow birthday celebrants, formally dressed, enjoying some quintessential Las Vegas pursuits.
Confirmed: Everyone wants to direct.
Travolta and friends are seen schmoozing on a private jet, sipping cocktails at a supper club (Delilah at Wynn Las Vegas), as well as playing blackjack in Wynn’s high-limit salon.
Dice were also on the agenda.
Remember, unless you’re friends with a famous guy, you can’t hold the dice away from the table or out of view of casino staff! Ahem, this dude.
Travolta also took in a show. The show was “Awakening.”
We didn’t recognize the segments shown in the video, but apparently that’s because the production has been retooled. The scenes in the video are substantially different than the version of the show we saw when it opened.
Travolta and his daughter are also seen dancing in a hallway at Wynn, near a Tower Suites sign. No pressure, Ella.
As mentioned in an earlier caption which you breezed right by, based upon the video, Travolta and friends had birthday cake in a private room at the popular Cipriani restaurant in Wynn Plaza.
Like so many Las Vegas visits, John Travolta’s was far too short.
We kid John Travolta about the “Battlefield Earth” thing, but he’s a beloved screen icon. We’re not even sure he’s a Scientologist anymore.
Whatever Travolta’s personal WTF (shout-out to cults invented by science fiction writers), we applaud his decision to celebrate his 69th birthday in Las Vegas.
Viva Danny Zuko, Vincent Vega, Tony Manero, Vinnie Barbarino and Las Vegas.
