I am partnering with Photographer Julie MacRae for this trip – Between the two of us, I can’t even begin to imagine how many pics we’ll be taking.
You’ve seen the pictures, the videos and probably even heard from a friend or two about how incredible these trips are. A large part of the trip’s mandate is for everyone to have a trip they will never forget. More than a vacation, this is a trip to remind you of how awesome you are!

Location – Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, August 19-23, 2026
Unlike past trips, Photographer Julie MacRae will be joining us. This means you will be getting pictures from TWO photographers. For all attending, you end up with thousands of pictures. From the BTS from around the group shoots, to the parties, individual shoots and crazy candids. The total for the photography package including makeup and hair, the Mad Max tour, is $2500.00 USD
Because this is a group activity, we ask that you come alone. (See link below)

Paul Buceta
Paul Buceta doesn’t have a fancy bio, he also speaks of himself in the 3rd person.

This is the awkward part to bring up as there is no way to sugar-coat it and not look like an asshole. This is a big point as ANYONE who has been on a trip will agree, PLEASE don’t bring boyfriends/husbands – This is out of respect for those that don’t necessarily want to hang out with your partner.
Also, Vegas can be difficult on relationships. Especially this one as we’re going to strike terror into the very heart of Vegas. I’ve seen it numerous times where you’re having the best time, fist pumping to music at the pool parties, taking cool selfies, posting how amazing a time you’re having but have it cut short by upset texts from your partner. Or worse, have to sit things out for fear of upsetting them. Social media (And just Vegas) can be a real strain. I don’t want to be responsible for problems in anyone’s relationship – If you don’t think yours is up for it, it’s probably best you sit this trip out.
