If anybody’s holding a vote on Las Vegas’ dullest casino Web site, surely the runaway winner will be that for the Greek Isles. It’s so boring, so unimaginative, so Midwest riverboat casino of 12 years ago that it practically yawns in your face. Take, if you must, the page for resident magician Antonio Casanova. (Yes, he’s supposedly a descendant of that Casanova.)
Notice anything missing? Like maybe ticket prices? Show times? Seriously, Greek Isles, if you ever want to be known as something other than the casino equivalent of the walking dead, you’ll need to put in a smidgen of effort. Did you pay for that site? I have friends who create better Web pages just for fun. Yes, making sport of the Greek Isles is like tripping a dwarf, but somebody’s got to do it.
Our Research Dept. informs me that Antonio Casanova’s show closed before it opened (would that Criss Angel’s had done the same). Not one show did he perform. Why his page remains up on the site is anybody’s guess … more evidence of zombie-ism at the Isles, I reckon.
I like the new format here, it looks real good. The Greek Isles is like something out of the old TV show The Twilight Zone–> it’s just bizarre. I think the Motel 6 at the corner of Tropicana and Koval is more relevant in Las Vegas than the Greek Isles. Maybe they should put The Greek Isles on ebay and try and sell it to someone. Better yet, Max Baer should buy it and put his Beverly Hillbillies Hotel and Casino here.
It might help if they proofread their site – apparently they are located on COVention Center Drive (bottom of every page I looked at). It’s small thing, I know, but since the whole purpose of the site is to draw visitors to the hotel/casino, having the address right might seem important. Doesn’t anybody ever look?
