Vegas needs Carmen Electra

There's a sentence I never thought I'd live to type. But after seeing Ms. Electra bumping and grinding, and generally giving her all to a pair of solo turns in MGM Grand's otherwise fembot-oriented La Femme aka Crazy Horse Paris Crazy Girls, this woman definitely deserves a modest venue where she can bring the raunch to the Strip on a regular basis. True, her routines were not always spot-on and her dirigible-size funbags could use some deflation (although we're not quite in the Holly Madison league of grotesquerie). But she's got animal magnetism that would have been wasted as Mel B.'s sidekick or Hans Klok's beard.

 

As The Sun chronicled: "Carmen's naked antics make MEL B's appearance in rival Vegas burlesque revue, Peepshow, look tame in comparison."

That they did.

Wynn degraded. Analysts at J.P. Morgan are downplaying their expectations for Wynn Resorts, particularly in Macao. There, Morgan has shaved $11 million off its cash flow projections for 2Q09. Slipping REVPAR (if -28% is a "slip"), low slot handle and "flat table volumes" are blamed.

On the Strip, Morgan only expects minor softness (to the tune of -$4 million) in Wynncore business. Cash flow projections for next year have been trimmed by $9 million in Vegas and $30 million, as the analysts have modest expectations of Encore Macau. The Morgan analysands remain bullish on Las Vegas Sands, though. Somewhere, Sheldon Adelson is having a moment of gless.

mike_ch's Gravatar Ya' messed up, Dave. Crazy Girls is the tacky display at the Riv, the MGM show is Crazy Horse Paris.

And now you see why I still always call it La Femme.

I mentioned to my nearest available straight male who saw this show twice and loved it both times that Carmen was in there, and he began saying "isn't she like, 40?" (she's 37) and talking about how the show's appeal is that the women are naturally beautiful instead of Hollywood Beautiful and how Carmen clashes with that.

David McKee's Gravatar Right you are. Fifty lashes with a wet noodle for me. Trust me, I *was* at the show last night. Clearly, finding the right Carmen Electra photo blurred my mind as to fine points such as the "Crazy Girls/Horse" distinction. I've seen both shows and liked "Crazy Girls" somewhat more, although "Sin City Bad Girls" is better than either, IMO.

Jeff in OKC's Gravatar Hollywood Beautiful-naturally beautiful, who cares! It's dimly lit and they are 50 feet away! Sometimes hot is just hot!!!
