What happens in Vegas, gets posted on Twitter

A few key players from the U. Central Florida men’s basketball team stirred controversy this weekend, and this time it wasn’t over a shoe deal.

Marcus and Jeff Jordan, sons of NBA legend Michael Jordan, and current UCF basketball players, visited Las Vegas this weekend to attend the elder Jordan’s Fantasy Basketball Camp at the Mirage Resort Casino, which costs between $13,500 and $15,000 per person. The Jordans’ were joined by friend and fellow Knight, A.J. Rompza.

However, the trip wasn’t what caught people’s attention: It was the Jordans’ Twitter account.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Marcus Jordan posted on his Twitter an account about the players’ visits to Haze Nightclub, Liquid Pool Lounge at Aria Hotel, and Casino City Center.

“Last night was stupid,” Marcus wrote on his Twitter. “…  35k at Haze … Totals 50k something the whole day .. Damn!! Going to the pool again today .. Gotta relax!”

While Jeff Jordan and Rompza are older than 21, the Orlando Sentinel is reporting that Chicago Tribune archives confirm Marcus Jordan is 20 years old.

Celebrity websites TerezOwens.com and TaintedVegas.com posted updates about the Jordan brothers spending $56,000 in Las Vegas in one day.

The Sentinel reported that Marcus posted a Ustream video and Jeff posted a Twitter video from the Liquid Pool Lounge featuring all three basketball players. Jeff also posted a video shot inside Haze Nightclub, but he was the only Knight who could be identified.

As of Thursday, all tweets were removed and players’ Twitter accounts stated they were all back in Orlando.
