CONNED: UConn Basketball Team Face Theft, Filthy Rooms In Las Vegas

By Shawn Tempesta March 24th

When people visit to Las Vegas, they should leave with great memories, a great story to tell and hopefully more money than when they arrived (but that seldom happens). Unfortunately that is not the experience the UConn Men’s College Basketball team has had during their stay in Las Vegas. Their rooms were reportedly filthy. Their team bus was burglarized. It’s less than ideal.

The “March Madness” began Tuesday when UConn arrived in Las Vegas ahead of their Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship.

The team was reportedly assigned the Luxor Hotel & Casino for their rooms. It makes sense, the property is a quick trip from T-Mobile Arena where the games are being played. But while the Luxor’s light is incredibly bright, the scene inside of the rooms was reportedly dim.

According to CT Insider and other sources, some of the rooms the team was staying in were in terrible condition. The publication says the rooms looked like a scene from the Las Vegas based comedy The Hangover. “Dirt, vomit … and worse,” the publication wrote. The team was able to, with help from the NCAA and the fact that the city has about a billion other hotel rooms, relocate to Resorts World. Upgrade. Sweet.

The Las Vegas troubles for UConn only started at Luxor…

A bad situation got worse the next day. After their wonderful and hopefully restful sleep at Resorts World, they headed to UNLV for practice. According to the Review-Journal, while they were inside their buss was burglarized. Several items were stolen there and Las Vegas Metro is reportedly investigating.

The troubles off the count for UConn aren’t affecting them on the court…

With all of that trouble in mind, it’s worth noting the UConn Huskies steamrolled over Arkansas in their Sweet 16 matchup, 88-65. They play Gonzaga in the Elite 8 on Saturday. Things are going right where it matters.

Here’s What You Missed On Aimee+Shawn This Week

This week on Aimee+Shawn has been all about contrast. Shawn’s family was out of town all week, giving him the house all by himself mostly., Meanwhile Aimee started the week having recovered from having seven teen boys sleep over. May God have mercy on her soul (and her toilet bowl).

Speaking of family, it’s everything to Aimee. Family, and pettiness. So when some other family cut hers in line, and then laughed about it, Aimee made sure to get the last word. Over, and over, and over again.

Shawn has drawn a line in the sand when it comes to sharing food. Seems like everywhere he turns, people either want his food or want to order exactly what he orders. Wife wants to pick, sons want his fries, dog wants the chicken on his plate and his father cannot and will not order until Shawn does. All he wants to do is enjoy his meal in peace!

This was a very special week, because Aimee’s first born, Jayden, turned 15. Moms, make sure you grab Kleenex before you watch her read the letter she wrote to her son. It’s a tear-jerker.

Shawn recalls the first (and only) time he ever got drunk in time for St. Patrick’s Day. While Aimee has lost count of her drunk stories, Shawn got drunk for science in his mid-20s in what can only be described as the biggest crime to alcohol in human history. Crème. Brulee. Vodka. Who would even choose that?!

Being away from the family meant Shawn missed “a first” for the kids: playing bowling. It’s something Shawn has wanted to do with the kids for a bit, but he didn’t get the opportunity to see it through before it happened without him. Now he’s a bit miffed about it.

What is on Aimee+Shawn next week?!

How about TAYLOR SWIFT TICKETS?! We’ve got the final pairs we’ve been holding onto before the big concert this weekend! Plus, win your way in to Aimee’s next W.I.N.O.S. event that will have the ladies going to see Barry Manilow at Westgate Las Vegas! Manilow and Merlot… how can you go wrong?

  • The WORST SPEED TRAPS In Las Vegas

    Driving down West Cactus Avenue is a lesson in patience. Sure, much narrower roads go much faster. But not this one. And there’ll be plenty of Metro motorcycle cops ready to remind you.

  • Aimee and Shawn Are COMPETITIVE

    There is no such thing as a “fun game”… when they play, they play to win and dunk on their family and friends.

  • Someone Cut Aimee's Family In Line... Her PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE Response is Everything

    If you know anything about Aimee, she’s petty. She’s Queen Petty. But even you would be miffed about how this line-cutting took place.

    If you WANTED fries you should have ORDERED fries. Aimee’s husband Patrick has to deal with the same thing with Aimee’s hungry hands.

  • THIS Is When MTV's "The Real World" Started To SUCK

    It was one of the most amazing shows of its time. But once producers found a certain formula, they never got away from it. Hint: the formula is alcoholism.

    Things have been so screwed up over the last several years that some shows and movies, once thought too bleak and implausible, seem like they are going to happen tomorrow to Aimee.

  • How People That DON'T LIKE ANIMALS Talk To Animals

  • Someone Did A DINE AND DASH In Front Of Shawn

    It’s one of the slimiest things you can do. Order food, get served and treated well, and then just walk out on the bill. It happened in front of Shawn and he’s grossed out.

  • Words Are HARD For Aimee... What's A JUTEBOX?!

    Yet another episode of “Aimee has difficult with the English Language”…
