Galaxy Theatres<\/strong>' multiplex at The Cannery<\/strong> has scrapped all its big-screen showings of Monday Night Football<\/em>, it was announced today, one week into the NFL season. Perhaps the incessant jabbering of Jon Gruden<\/strong> sent patrons screaming out onto the casino floor.<\/p>\n

"Historic Announcement" at Trop<\/strong>: New CEO Alex Yemenidjian<\/strong> has booked a press conference on Wednesday morning with a "Special Guest" who represents an "exciting new partnership" in the entertainment sphere. It's the worst-kept secret in Vegas<\/a> that Mr. Special Guest is better known as blogger Chuck Monster<\/strong>'s least-favorite Strip headliner, Wayne F. Newton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Also, the Sahara<\/strong> is (finally!) pulling the plug on Larry Marshak<\/strong>'s ersatz Platters\/Coasters\/Marvelettes revue<\/a>. Alas, the last act in this shameful saga of exploitation has yet to play out. The Marshak troupe will actually move up the Strip food chain, to Planet Hollywood<\/strong>. However, its new home is the Wyrick Entertainment Complex<\/strong>, otherwise known as the "Venue of Death." If that doesn't kill the show, nothing will.<\/p>\n

Well that's … weird<\/strong>: The Las Vegas Sun<\/em>'s Brendan Buhler<\/strong> reports that waitresses at Monte Carlo<\/strong>'s lounge within the Dragon Noodle Co<\/strong>. restaurant<\/a> "are dressed as characters from Japanese animé<\/a> cartoons, a hobby known as cosplay." This strikes Buhler as odd because the U.S. cosplay cosmos is dominated by teens and pre-teens, and is "geeky." (He said it, I didn't.) He likens it to a Miley Cyrus<\/strong>-themed nightclub, before noting that the uniforms resemble "schoolgirl outfits."<\/p>\n

Which would explain a lot.<\/p>\n

Eight isn't enough<\/strong>. Yet another GOP challenger<\/a> enters the lists against Sen. "Hapless Harry" Reid<\/strong> (D-NV). Just FYI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
