Galaxy Theatres' multiplex at The Cannery has scrapped all its big-screen showings of Monday Night Football, it was announced today, one week into the NFL season. Perhaps the incessant jabbering of Jon Gruden sent patrons screaming out onto the casino floor.
"Historic Announcement" at Trop: New CEO Alex Yemenidjian has booked a press conference on Wednesday morning with a "Special Guest" who represents an "exciting new partnership" in the entertainment sphere. It's the worst-kept secret in Vegas that Mr. Special Guest is better known as blogger Chuck Monster's least-favorite Strip headliner, Wayne F. Newton.
Also, the Sahara is (finally!) pulling the plug on Larry Marshak's ersatz Platters/Coasters/Marvelettes revue. Alas, the last act in this shameful saga of exploitation has yet to play out. The Marshak troupe will actually move up the Strip food chain, to Planet Hollywood. However, its new home is the Wyrick Entertainment Complex, otherwise known as the "Venue of Death." If that doesn't kill the show, nothing will.
Well that's ... weird: The Las Vegas Sun's Brendan Buhler reports that waitresses at Monte Carlo's lounge within the Dragon Noodle Co. restaurant "are dressed as characters from Japanese animé cartoons, a hobby known as cosplay." This strikes Buhler as odd because the U.S. cosplay cosmos is dominated by teens and pre-teens, and is "geeky." (He said it, I didn't.) He likens it to a Miley Cyrus-themed nightclub, before noting that the uniforms resemble "schoolgirl outfits."
Which would explain a lot.
Eight isn't enough. Yet another GOP challenger enters the lists against Sen. "Hapless Harry" Reid (D-NV). Just FYI.

Honestly, as a bit of an anime nerd myself (though not so passionate about it to go to the local convention that's held every year), they don't really look like the characters in the caption so much as common tropes like Maid Waitress, Schoolgirl Fuku (aka sailor uniform), etc.
Akihabara, a district of Tokyo that is basically Nerd Heaven if you're into PlayStation or anime, has a whole bunch of "Maid Cafes" where the staff are dressed like, well, maids. They dote on customers and refer to them as Master all the time and apparently this is a pretty common fetish with post-pubescent men who buy 1/25th scale dolls of superhero robot girls.
I saw an Asian girl in a maid outfit hanging around outside Dragon Noodle and thought "Oh, this is a jab at Maid Cafes." I wouldn't expect the full Maid Cafe, er, experience, per se, but the appearance of the gal out front was basically identical to the stereotype outfit.
Yeah, I guess the next StripWalk is going to be kind of *weird*.
