Peepshow<\/em> star\/trainwreck-in-progress Aubrey O'Day<\/strong> likes to speak her mind, for whatever it's worth. Evidently the recklessly candid utterances of Ms. O'Day were worth not one<\/a>, not two<\/a> but, yes, three dispatches<\/a> by Richard Abowitz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The fascination is understandable, given an interview subject who readily owns up to being unhappy and describes her demi-celebrity as "fame-ish-ness." O'Day's costar, Holly Madison<\/strong> may have been dubbed "Queen of Vegas" but when Las Vegas Weekly<\/em> tried to wrest similar prose mileage out of her, the result was better than Sominex<\/a>. Strangely, I find myself rooting for the id-on-the-loose that is O'Day to go the distance here in Vegas.<\/p>\n

A Bronx Tale<\/em><\/strong>. Kudos to Sheldon Adelson<\/strong> for rolling the dice on Chazz Palminteri<\/strong>'s virtuosic one-man show<\/a>, whose run has been extended for another week. Yours truly finds it a rather warm-and-cuddly depiction<\/a> of Mob life but both Mike Weatherford<\/a><\/strong> and Joe Brown<\/a><\/strong> express nearly unmitigated enthusiasm. Whichever way you slice it, it's still three thumbs up for Palminteri.<\/p>\n

Wynn still happy<\/strong>. If the Chinese government's aim in applying further curbs to Macao<\/strong> is to "tamp … down" the Cotai Strip™<\/strong>, where Sheldon Adelson™ aims to build "Asia's Las Vegas™<\/strong>" no wonder Steve Wynn<\/strong> is a happy camper<\/a>. Anything that handcuffs main rivals Las Vegas Sands<\/strong> and Stanley Ho<\/strong> is good news at Wynn HQ, especially with Encore Macau<\/strong> coming on line soon. How boring life would become if Wynn and Adelson ever suspended their running verbal gunfight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
