\"\"It was bound to happen: Not one, not two, but four douchebags trying to get tables at The Mirage<\/strong>‘s Carnegie Deli<\/a><\/strong> wearing nothing more than swimming trunks and flip-flops. That’s taking “casual” just a mite far. What’s the over\/under on how much longer it will be until someone wanders onto a casino floor completely naked. And where is it likeliest to occur? My money’s on The Palms<\/strong>, probably on a Sunday.<\/p>\n

Trouble in Paris-dise<\/strong>. Word via the grapevine is that Jersey Boys<\/a><\/em> presenters BASE Entertainment<\/strong> are not feeling l’amour<\/em> for their new digs at\u00a0Paris-Las Vegas<\/strong>. Or at least not for its management. Why? A chronically understaffed box office (only one person working the phones, for instance) is the reason I’ve heard. Leave it to pinchpenny Caesars Entertainment<\/strong> to screw up a good thing. Of course, some defects in the new arrangements are beyond Caesars’ control, like the boneheaded design of the Paris-LV showroom, a legacy of the late Arthur Goldberg<\/strong>. Seriously, who builds an auditorium in which dozens and dozens of seats directly face blank walls?<\/p>\n

Cirque du Soleil has been<\/strong> busting out various, new Viva Elvis<\/em> graphics, mostly in a silver-on-black motif, as the calendar moves inexorably toward the show’s Aug. 31 demise. The good news is that the show’s logo no longer looks like a Ronco<\/strong> LP jacket<\/a>. The bad news is that Cirque didn’t display any of this newfound creativity until MGM Resorts International<\/strong> had given Viva Elvis<\/em> the death sentence. Yeah, there’s nothing like launching a PR counterattack well after<\/em> the battle’s been lost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
