It’s not uncommon to have a small celebration when someone returns home from jail. It’s not a situation most celebs often find themselves in very often, but it happens. A tiny gathering with maybe a black and white striped sheet cake would not be totally inappropriate. But why settle for something so mundane when you’re a Hogan and you can take your kid – who left his best friend in a vegetative state after drinking and drag racing – to a car show in Las Vegas?
Nick Hogan recently spent 166 days behind bars after pleading no contest to charges of reckless driving in an accident that left his close friend, John Graziano, critically injured. But clearly young Hogan is making up for lost time. Pop Tarts spies spotted the reality TV stars [including Nick’s dad Hulk Hogan] checking into Sin City’s Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (they’re booked until Friday) and are poised to make an appearance at SEMA, an automotive trade show.
But according to an insider, the “Hogan Knows Best” father has gone to extra lengths to make sure his son stays out of trouble by having staff book Nick a standard room right beside his VIP executive suite. There is even a mysterious man (believed to be a parole officer) lurking around them at all times.
“Hulk made a big point of saying that this was a relaxing getaway and that Nick will be taking it easy and won’t be partying,” said our source. (Well, we certainly hope by now that Nick has learned the lesson that being underage and alcohol isn’t a good combination.)
But Nick isn’t allowing his post-pokey profile to shield him away from the limelight as he reportedly pranced around the hotel happily posing for pictures, signing autographs for fans and flirting with the hot young ladies that came his way.

In addition to the atrocity of taking his drag racing, fast car obsessed son on a nice little post prison vacation, Hulk was also stupid enough to repeat what he said on Larry King Live, noting, “There are no accidents, God has a plan that unfolds just as he wants it,” when asked about John Graziano. What a lovely way to reassure yourself that your son isn’t an asshole and you’re not a terrible person.
The thought of Nick Hogan having a good time anywhere but a prison shower is horrifying. Clearly his parents will just continue to coddle him and remain as stupid as ever.

Who the fuck goes to Vegas to “relax”? I guess the same kind of people that celebrate crippling someone with hookers & gambling.

My heart goes out to the Graziano family. But I have a hard time w/this. First his friend was 21 and he was 17. Why was he even hanging around a kid. John was able to go to bars and buy beer Nick couldn’t even buy cigs. I’m not doubting that when they were racing John was not egging it on. However Nick can never take back what happened John as a consenting adult chose to get in the car w/ an irresponsible teenage. The fault does not only lie w/Nick.

Lisa, I believe that we all know part of the fault is John’s. What most people have a problem with has been the attitude of the Hulk family. Like, “God wanted to make John a better person”. Trust me, a guy with half his head missing isn’t going to be a better person, and he’s not going to care. They’ve been cavalier, treated Nick like HE was the victim, and showed no remorse or pity at all. It’s the attitude, not the deed particularly.

Disgusting.

Lisa,
I agree but John will never be able to explain his choices. The part that is enraging however, is that Hogan is not contrite, but resentful, obnoxious, and generally indifferent to the horror that resulted from his choices and actions.
He is an asshat.

Is Hulk dating his daugther Brooke? It looks like it in that one pic. Next thing you know they will be kissing. Frigging hillbillys.

People like the Hogans are the reason for colorful and descriptive words such as “douchebag”.

I would pay money to see Nick pull is wannabe gangsta bullsh*t in downtown Oakland. The beat down would be swift and glorious.

Because that’s what irresponsible Dbags who nearly kill people with their cars deserve is a nice vacation.
The Hogans are SCUM.

That’s sounds like a totally clueless stunt Hulk would pull. We should have figured Sonny Boy wasn’t going to go around acting all contrite and humble. He’s a douche!

why does everybody care about the shit with the hogans. they aren’t the first stars to go through this and won’t be the last stars to go through this. i feel maybe if everybody quit watching their every move then maybe the hogans can begin to make the right decisions and help this young man. also maybe everyone is jealous of the hogans so grow-up and life your own life and not theirs

i dont know how u ppl can say that the hogans aren’t remorseful and i think u’ll find that no dui charges were brought against nick and that drag racing had also been ruled out i think it’s tragic what has happened to poor john but i agree with lisa in the fact that they r both to blame such an awful watse of a life i know.my thoughts r with john and his mum but speaking of better parenting why was john practically living with the hogans? oh i remember now because his homelife and parents weren’t that great either i think nick realises what he has done but a small part of me thinks that johns parents came running after the hogans for the money john i hope and prey that things get better for you best wishes soldier xxxx
