S&G<\/em> reader Dawn<\/strong> was the first to guess which state in our great nation has the second-most casinos (after Nevada<\/strong>, nat\u00fcrlich<\/em>). It’s the Sooner State, Oklahoma<\/strong> — where the wind comes sweeping down the plains, as native Jeff in OKC<\/strong> was quick to point out. Dawn gets bonus points for the accuracy of her guesstimate as to the number of Oklahoma casinos. She said 90; it’s 91. So double congratulations, Dawn.<\/p>\n

For those of you who guessed Arizona<\/strong> or Washington State<\/strong>, say, I’ll have the numbers for you on Thursday, when I get back into the office.<\/p>\n

Waiting for Elvis<\/strong>. The opening of Cirque du Soleil<\/strong>‘s Viva Elvis<\/em> has been pushed back … again. I hear conflicting dates, but suffice it to say that the show won’t officially open until mid-February. Are “fixations” in the offing? It can’t be easy to stage and direct a Cirque show when you’re surrounded by people who are paid to second-guess you. Cirque’s Viva Elvis<\/em> program also lists a “guide,” “artistic guide” and “director of creation” for the show, all of whom get bigger play than the choreographer, set designer, etc., and all three offer their pens\u00e9es<\/em> on matters Presleyian. Don’t you have a space flight to catch, Guy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
