Palazzo Show Fiasco

Criticism about Palazzo’s Grand Opening show Saturday night is flooding the Internet, discussing many of the negatives I had mentioned here yesterday: the late start, the no-name band that had to play “forever” between acts, the total disorganization. And there were sadder reports from people who actually paid real money for this disaster. We were frustrated because the only thing we wasted was our time since we were comped – what about those who paid $125 or more for a ticket?

Since we left exhausted about 11 p.m., I was anxious to hear a report from someone who had actually stayed to the end to catch the Diana Ross act.  Yesterday the reviews started coming in on the Internet and they were not good. Several posters on a forum said that hordes of people were walking out of the auditorium during her performance because it seemed she was only lip-synching. Everyone was commenting on the fact that the two giant TV screens on each side of the stage, the ones that had recorded every other act, including the no-name band, were dark the whole time Diana Ross was on.

In this morning’s Las Vegas Review-Journal I got a more complete discussion of the Diana Ross controversy, from “Norm, Vegas Confidential,” which is my favorite column for learning celebrity dirt and what all the beautiful people are doing in my town.

I heard Sheldon Adelson stuck it out to the end and he is even older than Brad.  The things you have to endure when you’re the boss, even if you are a multi-billionaire!
