\"\"It sure looks at lot like the old one, especially with Robert Vannucci<\/strong> still calling the shots over there, according to the grapevine: “Experience action-packed wrestling as Lil Macho Man<\/strong>, Tiny Terminator<\/strong>, Lil Rampage<\/strong>, Nasty Boy<\/strong>, Baby Chucky<\/strong>, Lil Devil<\/strong> and more go head-to-head at the Riviera<\/strong> …<\/em>” Or maybe you could just stay home at watch The Terror of Tiny<\/em> Town<\/em>, Hollywood<\/strong>‘s first (and last) all-midget Western musical<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Word is the Riv’s going all-out with an “old Vegas” marketing position. Proof positive: The next headliner will be Rich Little<\/strong> (5\/25-6\/12) at a perfectly reasonable $30 a pop. David Brenner<\/strong> is rumored to be not far behind. Credit Riv ownership and management with making the best of the hand they’ve been dealt. They’ve certainly got a more realistic idea of their niche than “Sahara Sam” Nazarian<\/strong> did back when he was posturing on The Hills<\/em> about turning the Sahara<\/strong> into St. Tropez<\/strong> and getting $200 room nights.<\/p>\n

\"\"Kitty love<\/strong>. It looks as though my wife and I have found a successor to the late, much-missed Fasolt<\/strong>. Tonight we’re due to sign the adoption papers for J’adoube<\/strong> (it’s a chess term<\/a> and, no, we’re not responsible for hanging it on him) a big, round, fluffy and affection feline who was abandoned by his previous owners in favor of a chihuahua. (Bleah!) The good people of Mountain Vista Animal Hospital<\/strong> gave J’adoube shelter and made a home for him during the several months it took him to find new parents. We were offered a one-week tryout and it was love at first head-butt. He’s a talkative chap, too, filling our hearts with joy.<\/p>\n

Then there’s the vagrant Vegas rooster who has adopted us … but that’s a long story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
