Imagine you're a moderately successful man who happens to be dating a female performer far more rich and attractive. Despite this, imagine you're such an idiot that you repeatedly assault her and also cheat on her and take calls from other women while in the same car. Then imagine (and this is a difficult one) that you're such a pathetic tool that you beat, kick and bite your partner so horrifically that she is hospitalised. You're Chris Brown, so when released on bail where would you go?

Most people would go running to their mother's house, and initial reports suggested that Chris did indeed flee to Virginia and some home comforts. Unfortunately, Chris has made rather a big deal of cashing in on the fact that his mother was battered by Chris' father and Chris had no hesitation in telling every journalist in earshot of the fact when he was attempting to scramble up the greasy pole to stardom.

 

So, having squeezed every ounce of sympathy out of his childhood problems, even Chris baulked at the idea of being hypocritical enough to head home to a battered mother after battering his own partner. So where to go to lie low, not be noticed and keep a low profile?

 

Las Vegas of course. In a luxury hotel with all of his mates (and according to the New York Post Chris is using his 'downtime' to post messages on his Facebook page, including the incredible "You'll begin to see her true colors. Believe it!").

 

Maybe, to stay unnoticed it'd be best for Brown to stay in a small, private and out of the way luxury hotel though. Something like the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

 

The hotel have refused to confirm that Brown is staying there, though they coyly confirmed that "several of his friends are staying on the property." Hopefully, as more details emerge of Brown and his shouty fists he'll find that his entourage shrinks to the extent that he could quite happily live in a broom cupboard until the trial.
