Dane Swan is looking to raise $3 million in pursuit of 'the sesh' image

One of Australia's favourite destinations is heading to Las Vegas - which almost always ends in a bit of mischief.

Former Collingwood star Dane Swan is a big fan of the American holiday destination, and inspired by Israel Folau's recent GoFundMe, is setting out to raise $3,000,000 to pay for a trip to Vegas - an idea everyone wishes they'd had first.

Swan has partnered with Sportsbet to raise the money.

He's hoping the money will cover flights, accomodation, legal costs (should they arise) and entertainment, in order to get maximum enjoyment from his time in America.

“As Australians we are born with the right to freedom of expression. I believe it is my duty as a servant of the sesh to set the standard on the circuit through instragam and snapchat,” Swan said in a video released on Friday.

“The last three-day bender I went on put a strain on me financially. Whilst I can’t remember much of it, I was told it was pretty exy.

“Here I am looking to secure $3 million for my upcoming trip to Las Vegas.

"I'm fighting for what's right, but I can't do it alone. If you want to join this journey with me, and fight for the right to freedom of the sesh, please donate."

Swan might be following his own advice, after earlier this week recommending that banned Collingwood young gun Jaidyn Stephenson should 'get some sun'.

Dane Swan has previously partied with Richmond star Dustin Martin in Vegas, with the pair legendary for their exploits.

However, in a 2017 interview with Fox Sports, Swan admitted that things might need to be tamed down a bit given the rise of technology.

“Yeah, times have changed a little bit. There’s a lot more camera phones these days so you can’t get away with what you could,” he said.
