Video: Crowd Erupts Into Huge Fight At Ludacris' Vegas Pool Party

When we think of day clubs in Las Vegas, it's mostly a lot of drinking, dancing and lounging by the pool. However, things took a sour turn on Sunday at Hard Rock's Rehab pool event hosted by Ludacris after a massive fight broke out.

In the video above, posted by TMZ, you can see a number of fights breaking out at different parts of the pool. Folks are throwing punches, while others are screaming and some taking cell phone videos and photos during the melee. A crowd even breaks down a door and pushes on through it.

And then there's this video of a group pummeling a guy and throwing a trash can on him. He gets up in a daze with his shirt almost completely torn off, and a woman screams for security and says they're going to kill him.

Surprisingly for such a massive fight, police told TMZ that they didn't receive any reports about the brawl.
