During their series How the Other Half Lives, Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford brushed up against lavish wealth, but what they see in Las Vegas in this double bill is mind-blowing.

With apartments containing their own basketball courts and casinos sending private jets to collect their best customers, the extravagance is on an extreme scale.

Eamonn even gets to pick the music for the famous Bellagio fountains to ‘dance’ to, a privilege for which people happily pay $250,000.

‘The extraordinary becomes the ordinary,’ says Eamonn. ‘Everything is gold-plated, the service is seven-star and the limos are bigger than anything you’ve seen before.’
