"Montbleu<\/strong> screwed our pooch." That's the conclusion of Chuck Monster<\/strong>, who chronicles a bait-and-switch at the former Caesars Tahoe<\/strong>. It's now part of the prospering casino fleet that is Columbia Sussex<\/strong> and its "pet friendly" package turned out to be more like "pet indifferent." After withholding it for a full year<\/a>, in hopes of a partial refund that materialized, Chuck has finally released a Montbleu-by-blow account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

New casino overseer Scott Butera<\/strong> may be promising a new, improved Tropicana Entertainment<\/strong> but, from what Chuck says, it's still ColSux as usual for the time being. At least the incident gave him excuse to post numerous photos of Montbleu being inspected by a totally adorable pug named Maxine<\/strong>, who is certain to steal your heart.<\/p>\n

E-Can makes the rounds<\/strong>. The reviews of Eastside Cannery<\/strong><\/a> keep rolling in. There's a Compton\/Dancer<\/a> critique of its gambling value (good). Steve Friess<\/strong> went a while back and was mildly amused\/bemused<\/a>. For his part, Chuck Monster deconstructs its decor<\/a>. Our new issue of Las Vegas Advisor<\/em> contains a lengthy appraisal by Anthony Curtis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Trumped<\/strong>. Perhaps the single most interesting fact in Chuck's review is buried way down at the end and it's this: On an upcoming weekend, when E-Can is commanding $129\/night ($1 less than Circus Circus<\/strong><\/a>), rooms at Trump International<\/strong> are going for $163\/night — $38\/night less than Excalibur<\/strong><\/a>. Yes, Excalibur<\/em>! (And $346\/night less than Wynn Las Vegas<\/strong><\/a>.) Can you say "bomb"? I thought you could.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
