\"\"Once again, the Las Vegas Hotel & Casino<\/strong> has been the place where shows go to die. Tedious demi-musical The D* Word<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is going dark for good on Sept. 1. You’d never guess this self-ripoff<\/a> from the author of Menopause The Musical<\/a><\/em> <\/strong>would be box office poison, based on the “You go, girl” hysteria that accompanied the premiere. Then again, the lower echelons of the Las Vegas<\/strong> media scene are notoriously easy to please. My spies tell me that the original cast has already skedaddled to Palm Beach<\/strong>, while Christine De Chavez<\/strong>, Jacquelyn Holland-Wright<\/strong> and the rest of the Vegas-residency cast have allegedly been promised a two-month run in Philadelphia<\/strong> instead (or so the scuttlebutt would have it). Rarely have I looked at the clock so often during a show as I did during The D* Word<\/em>, which must stand for “dull.”<\/p>\n

Also heard through the grapevine<\/strong> is that the Tropicana Las Vegas<\/strong> will soon be bereft of the Mob Attraction<\/a><\/strong>. The latter is reportedly pulling up and moving to the Flamingo Las Vegas<\/strong>, brass knuckles and all. If you’ve been, you’ll know that it’s a fairly soporific spectacle, so if Caesars Entertainment<\/strong> can find a way to sex it up, more power to them. As for the Trop, it would be left out of pocket after agreeing to a deferred-payment lease<\/a> with owner John Vipulis<\/strong>. Just once, wouldn’t it be nice to see the Trop making headlines in a good way?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
