LEYTON ORIENT CELEBRATES SUCCESS IN VEGAS

June 24, 2011 - 2:18 pm

East London's Leyton Orient has been celebrating celebrating in Las Vegas this week, thanks to Chairman Barry Hearn making good on his promise. Back in February he would reward them with a trip to Las Vegas if the players would secure a crucial draw against Arsenal in. They battled to a 1-1 draw, forcing a replay at Arsenal's 60,000-seat stadium, which was worth $1 million to Hearn's club. They have been staying at Planet Hollywood Resort.
