Party in Vegas

His relatives found Hart had donated about $81.500 to charities. Additionally, he had left $163,000 for his friends to party in the American gambling capital. In July, they decided it was time to fulfill his last wish. They visited Las Vegas and partied like rock stars.

Unforgettable holiday

Andy Hare, one of Hart's friends, said: "It was absolutely an unforgettable holiday. We enjoyed every minute of our stay in Vegas. Several friends visited the gambling city for the first time and they were astonished."
