The first black Bachelor Matt James cheered himself up by attending the grand opening of Virgin Hotels Las Vegas alongside other reality TV stars on Thursday night.

The 29-year-old commercial real estate broker played blackjack beside The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga and her husband Joe.

Matt then posed for a few pictures on the casino floor with the happily married 42-year-old. 

The Gorgas then hit the patio to chat with Don’t Be Tardy star Kim Zolciak-Biermann and her husband 릴게임 Kroy.

Meanwhile, 릴게임 Saved by the Bell star Mario Lopez had fun gambling at a table lined with coronavirus shields.

Also spotted happily gambling at the Paradise, NV venue formerly known as Hard Rock Hotel was Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause.

Aside from Vanderpump Rules’ Toms – Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz – none of the small-screen celebs were protecting themselves and others by wearing face masks. 

As of Thursday, there have reportedly been 302K confirmed COVID cases in Nevada (233K in Clark County) leading to 5,215 deaths.

James seemed a bit somber showcasing his big burly beard while clad in a black beanie, matching jean jacket, skinny jeans, and leopard-print high-tops.

The CBRE Group associate’s Vegas sighting came six days after he wiped all evidence of The Bachelor from his Instagram page.

Matt only kept one post about the ABC dating competition – his <a style="font-weight: bold;" class="class" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" website 22 statement regarding Chris Harrison ‘stepping aside for a period of time’ as host. 

The 49-year-old presenter <a style="font-weight: bold;" class="class" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" website February 13 he was ‘ashamed’ for ‘excusing historical racism’ regarding season 25 winner Rachael Kirkconnell, who attended a Kappa Alpha ‘plantation-themed ball’ at Georgia College in 2018.

The resulting scandal lead to James splitting with the 24-year-old graphic designer a month before the After the Final Rose special aired on March 15.

‘As someone who grew up in the South, it takes me to a place that I don’t often like to think about. I wasn’t okay,’ the North Carolina native explained.

‘It was in that moment and the conversation that I had, that Rachael might not understand what it means to be black in America. It’s heartbreaking. If you don’t understand that something like that is problematic in 2018, there’s a lot of me that you won’t understand. It’s as simple as that…You know what was a long time ago? Plantations.’

Matt currently shares an apartment at One Manhattan Square with fellow Wake Forest University alum Tyler Cameron, who competed on the 15th season of The Bachelorette.

It’s worth noting that out of the 25 seasons of The Bachelor, only three couples are still happily married – most notably Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici.
