USAIN Bolt has backed up his night of partying on arrival to the Gold Coast with round two out into the wee hours this morning — again at infamous Sin City bar.
For the second night in a row, the fastest man on the planet has occupied a Sin City back corner VIP booth — but this time the bulk of the Australian and English swim teams joined him inside.
Australian stars seen letting their hair down included freestyler Emma McKeon and golden girl Bronte Campbell who danced her way out the exit soon after 3am.
Freestyler James Magnussen was also partying at the Surfers Paradise nightclub’s front bar after 3am.
Bronte’s sister Cate plus Magnussen and others were earlier up at an official party at Nineteen at the Star hosted by Optus, which is using Bolt as a brand ambassador.

But back at Sin City, Bolt returned down the opposite end of the venue to the same private booth he had occupied the previous night. He was again looked after by the club’s signature lingerie-clad bar waitresses.
He didn’t repeat his first-night cameo on the club’s DJ decks and left as things started to wind down about 4.30am.
Club management were thrilled he returned and to also host the Australian Dolphins swim squad, particularly after revelations this morning in the Gold Coast Bulletin that Australian Commonwealth Games team officials have warned the athletes to steer clear of the Orchid Avenue hotspot.
The warnings come after ex-Scottish Commonwealth Games boxer Stephen Lavelle was charged this week with two counts of assault after a fracas on the Sin City dance floor while Bolt was on the DJ decks.
WHAT REALLY GOES ON IN GOLD COAST’S SIN CITY NIGHTCLUB
Days earlier, Northern Irish boxer Sean McComb was banned from the Gold Coast party precincts and fined $756 after allegedly taking a swing at Sin bouncers.
Despite Australian officials’ warnings, Games Minister Kate Jones has encouraged athletes to make the most of the city’s nightlife, saying with large numbers of people in the city for the Games “you are going to have a couple of incidents”.
“But it is not characteristic of what is happening. The bulk of people are having a great time.”
Sin City general manager Tim Martin said he wanted to “thank Kate Jones for reassuring the athletes”.
“All athletes left last night without incident and had a great time — and are soaking up atmosphere of what the Games are all about now — a party.”
