Silly Peter Andre didn’t show, but Mel B did, looking luscious in a sparkly Jenny Packham dress, and arriving in style with a hot BA pilot on one arm and a trolley dolly on the other. She was in charge of the prize draw (a holiday to Vegas – she drew it twice when she realized the first winner had already gone home). Later, she joined Mayor Goodman and Paul Oakenfold in the DJ booth.

There was a Vegas vodka luge, feather boas galore, drinks flowing all night, and Elvis singing Love Me Tender at us, and although the Mayor and Mel B were gone by about midnight, the hard core hung around on the BA-logoed dancefloor till about 2am (we’re guessing that one, as, ahem, our memory’s a little hazy).

Earlier in the day, Mayor Goodman had met London Mayor Boris Johnson and given him the keys to the city of Vegas; and today, he’s on sightseeing duties (Westminster Abbey, we believe), before heading home on the inaugural flight on Sunday.

As for us, it’ll be a bonus if we make it out of our pyjamas by the end of the day. Last night was worth every stomach twinge though – it was almost like being in Vegas.
