Inside Simon Cowell’s secret stag-do – including exclusive guest-list, location and who is banned
SIMON Cowell is planning a raucous stag do in Las Vegas ahead of his marriage to Lauren Silverman.
The Britain's Got Talent mogul is hoping to host a small group of close friends in Sin City before the end of 2022.
Simon, 62, is said to be determined to bring his beloved dogs, Yorkshire Terriers Squiddly and Diddly, along for the ride.
A source told The Sun: "He's been a bachelor all of his life so obviously the stag do will be lavish.
"No one ever thought he'd ever walk down the aisle.
"Money isn't an object so Vegas seemed like the natural fit - especially now his America's Got Talent show is on the strip.

"The plan is to invite around ten of his closest friends as well as the dogs.
"His infamous harem of female pals and exes are understandably banned."
The insider added: "Nothing is set in stone but his team are already pencilling a gap into his schedule for later this year."
Joking about the weekend, Simon's BGT co-star David Walliams said: "You know, he doesn't have any real friends, so he'll likely invite all his showbiz mates or people he's worked with he hasn't sacked.
"If I organised the stag party for him, I think I'd organise a night in a restaurant, a bit of entertainment, give Simon some laughs, maybe some cabaret.
"Then I'd get up and do a sort of performance about Simon to make him cringe."
Last month Simon was presented with the key to the Las Vegas strip to acknowledge his contribution to the entertainment industry.

Joking he'd have enjoyed the gift more before he was a taken man, Simon teased: "So the year I decide to get married you give me the key to Las Vegas…great timing. This is amazing by the way. Thank you so much.
"I would like to take this chance to say first of all this is amazing. I mean the timing wasn’t great. I mean 10 years ago would have been a lot more fun, but you know what I am talking about.
"I want to thank MGM because we would not be here without your support and it has been an absolute pleasure."
The Sun broke the news in January that Simon had popped the question to girlfriend of 13-years Lauren during a romantic holiday to Barbados.
Ever the traditionalist, Simon got down on one knee before proposing with a stunning £250,000 diamond ring.
A source said at the time: "Lauren was absolutely stunned and never in a million years expected Simon to pop the question. She burst into tears - happy tears - and obviously said ‘yes’ straight away.

“Lauren has been Simon’s rock over these past few years - supporting him when he broke his back, and through thick and thin generally. They make a wonderful couple.
“Whilst Simon never thought he was the marrying type, he’s realised he’s met the woman of his dreams - and couldn’t be happier. In the words of Beyoncé, it was time to put a ring on it.”
