The one strict rule Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney had for Wrexham's Las Vegas promotion party
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney put one strict rule in place before Wrexham's inaugural Las Vegas promotion party last year as the players return to Sin City this year.
The Red Dragons racked up a league-record tally of 111 points to win the National League in 2023, sealing automatic promotion to League Two in the process.
After beating Boreham Wood 3-1 at the Racecourse Ground, Reynolds and McElhenney organised a huge party before the squad then had an open-top bus parade through the streets.
Following that, the Wrexham stars were rewarded with a stunning trip to Las Vegas - which star striker Paul Mullin revealed had only one rule attached to it by the club's co-owners.

He told British GQ: "It became a thing where if we won the league, we'd get a holiday.
"So we're off to Vegas. Ryan and Rob told us to leave our cards at home, they're sorting the lot. They sent us a full itinerary just now.
"Part of me doesn't want to go, I might be dead at the end of it. But I'd never go to Vegas of my own accord, so I'm buzzing for it."
Wrexham players are currently embarking on Las Vegas round two, having sealed automatic promotion from League Two at the first time of asking this season.
Phil Parkinson's side scored 88 points to finish in second place behind title winners Stockport, and will be playing in the third tier of English football for the first time since 2005 next season.
There's been no confirmation that the same strict rule is in place this year - although footage of the celebrations have shown the players are certainly enjoying themselves.

Parkinson, meanwhile, wasn't in Vegas last year, telling Sky Sports at the time: "I didn't make the cut for the Vegas trip, unfortunately. We'll leave that one to the lads.
"Hopefully they will come back in one piece. I'm sure they will."
This year, he is heading to Spain to have a promotion celebration with his own staff.
He said: "The staff are going to go away for a few days together like we did last year, and we are happy with that.
"We are very grateful to the owners for sticking to what they said to the lads and also looking after the staff as well."
