Until this week, the worst thing to ever happen in Las Vegas was ingénue performer Nomi Malone's mispronunciation of the word "Versace" during a key Showgirls scene. (Everything still worked out OK for her though, because that Nomi is a trooper.) But, then, on Monday night, a fortuitous and terrible event occurred, one that will surely take over that No. 1 spot in the inevitably viral listicle that is "17 Vegas Shitshows You'll Have to See to Believe."

During a party at XS Nightclub [H/T MTV, a clubgoer in a poolside VIP booth decided that, well, a booth just isn't good enough! Haven't we all been there? (No, we have not.) So this person ordered 400 crates of beer — at an estimated cost of $80,000 — and turned their booth into a fort of sorts, a veritable Vegas fiefdom except it's not the sort of principality that will see your firstborn married off to a European countess, so what's the point? Here's a Twitter photo of the resulting beer fort, anyway:
