iHEART FEST PICS: THE BUDDY SYSTEM

At the iHeartRadio Fest in Vegas, industry peeps and artists gathered to celebrate the magic that is radio, luxuriate in professional camaraderie and enjoy $27 cocktails. Also, to be perfectly candid, some people lost their shirts at the blackjack tables. But let’s put a pin in that and enjoy these snapshots from Sin City.

While Warner's Dua Lipa received this handsome plaque, Warner co-boss Tom Corson told some of his favorite FedEx stories. Seen are (l-r) Corson, Poleman, Dua, iHeart prexy John Sykes, iheart's Rich Bressler and chieftain Bob Pittman, manager Dukagjin Lipa and Warner's Mike Chester.

Seen just before having a collective hallucination that they were part of the visuals at Sphere are (l-r) RCA’s Keith Rothschild, KIIS-FM PD Beata Murphy, RCA’s Dylan Sprague, Victoria Monet, Poleman, iHeart’s Alissa Pollack, manager Rachelle Jean-Louis, iHeart’s John Peake and RCA’s Sam Selolwane, Norjon Hedman and Jeff Rizzo.

In this iHeart family photo, XO/Republic's The Weeknd and team celebrate the neon pageantry of Vegas by posing in front of a white wall.

Columbia's Halsey sported a suit and tie while Poleman, Sykes and Pittman kept it business casual.

Valory/BMLG's Thomas Rhett confides to Poleman that his red solo cup sometimes has features.

RCA's Maldonado fulfills a youthful fantasy by posing with the gentlemen of New Kids on the Block. After this photo was snapped, they signed her Pee-Chee folder.
