THOSE lucky enough to have a brush with Prince Harry during his first visit to Las Vegas say he was as down-to-earth as any other 27-year-old who appreciates a Harley, a night out with friends and a cheap beer.
The weekend rendezvous in Sin City came as the prince is spending several weeks training on Apache helicopters at Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary Field in southern Arizona, about 6 hours away.
Dan Dvorak of Hacienda Harley-Davidson said the royal showed up in jeans and a baseball cap when he stopped by an Arizona dealership last Friday to rent a motorcycle.
"He's just a regular 27-year-old guy," said Dvorak, the dealership's rental manager, in an interview with The Associated Press. "Mild-mannered. Excited to be on a Harley."
People magazine reported that Harry - third in line for the British crown behind his father and older brother, William - rented a room at the Wynn Las Vegas, a five-star, 50-story resort on the Las Vegas Strip. Wynn spokeswoman Deanna Pettit says the resort does not comment on guest visits.
The prince's itinerary took an artistic turn the following day. A Cirque du Soleil spokeswoman said Harry's party reserved prime, US$178 seats for Saturday's 7:30pm performance of "O."
Show officials said they held the prince and four of his military friends in a VIP room for about 20 minutes before discreetly ushering them to their seats as the curtain rose.
Harry and his party were seen clapping enthusiastically and laughing during the show - and also sipping a Corona apiece.
