Karl Stefanovic is currently in Las Vegas for the kick off to the NRL season.
And on Saturday, the Today Show host, 50, enjoyed a night out in the city with his wife Jasmine and their friends.
Jasmine shared a series of photos to Instagram of the group as they enjoyed dinner at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino, where they are believed to be staying.
In the photo, Karl was all smiles as he wrapped his arms around his friends while dining at the establishment.
Rooms at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino start from $514-a-night and can cost up to $2,242.50 for a penthouse suite.
It comes after NRL supremo Peter V’landys revealed that he wants Today Show star Karl to have his own rugby league TV show on Channel 9.

‘It’s so evident in Vegas how popular Karl is with the fans,’ V’landys told News Corp.
‘They love him.
‘I think he’s the perfect person to be an ambassador for rugby league on Channel 9.
‘I’m going to talk to them about it. They’re a broadcast partner and they want to do a lot more to promote the game.
‘Karl knows his rugby league and the more footy programming we can get is only going to help grow the game.’
It comes after Karl put rumours to rest about any likelihood of Samantha Armytage taking Sarah Abo’s hosting seat beside him on Today.
The TV veteran recently told Stellar magazine he would sooner retire from helming the flagship breakfast program than work alongside another new co-host.
‘I don’t see Sarah ever being replaced. And I genuinely have no interest in working with anyone else,’ he said last month in the wide-ranging interview.

Channel Nine was reportedly plunged into back-to-back crisis meetings in December, following the decision to bring Sam, 48, onto the Today show as a summer fill-in co-host.
The network’s move sparked outrage among long-time staff, with insiders alleging the decision created tension behind the scenes and left many feeling snubbed.
Armytage, 39, replaced longtime host Ally Langdon on Today in January 2023, and according to Karl, he has no interest in partaking in any further hosting re-brands.
Karl has been with the breakfast show for 20 years and in that time has seen many co-hosts—including Tracy Grimshaw, Jessica Rowe, and Lisa Wilkinson—come and go.
