I started BB King&#8217;s here  in <strong>Memphis<\/strong> 19  years ago and I assure you I do understand and empathize with you  regarding our product in Las Vegas.<\/em> <em>We are working daily to try and  improve our  product. It has been more difficult to produce an authentic experience  there  than any other location we have due to the union and the &#8220;lack of soul&#8221;  in Las  Vegas. We are about to move a Memphis &#8220;house band&#8221; out there <strong>starting June 2nd<\/strong> which will improve the music product significantly. We are working  through the  service issues and we are getting better although it is far more  difficult to  terminate employees for poor performance\u00a0because we must abide by the  <strong>Mirage<\/strong>&#8216;s collective bargaining agreement. If we can do anything to make  up for  your poor experience please feel free to email me or call me on my cell  phone  listed below and I will be happy to try and accomodate [<\/em><em>sic] you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I  hope  you have a great week-end.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Tommy Peters<\/strong>, President<strong><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>BB King&#8217;s  Blues  Clubs<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d call that customer service of the first order.
