BANISHED 49ERS TIGHT END DAVIS CHILLS IN VEGAS

November 1, 2008 - 11:32 am

Vernon Davis, the San Francisco 49ers tight end who was sent to the locker room by coach Mike Singletary last week, was in Las Vegas on Friday, getting away from it all.

Davis was spotted at Drai’s After Hours inside Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall. The 49ers have a bye this week.

Singletary lost his patience with Davis late in the game during a 34-13 loss to Seattle on Oct. 26. Davis had just been flagged for an unnecessary-roughness penalty. Singletary thought he crossed the line.

Also at Drai’s: dethroned Miss Nevada USA Katie Rees, dressed in a Snow White costume, and reality TV star Janelle Perry of hit show, "Sunset Tan."
