Don Rickles Coming to The Orleans Showroom Mar. 20-22
Filed Under Las Vegas, Las Vegas Casinos, Las Vegas Entertainment, Las Vegas Shows, Orleans Casino Hotel | Comments Off
He’s the legendary comedy performer – “Mr. Warmth,” Don Rickles. Returning to the city where he first starred as a headliner more than 50 years ago, Rickles will be performing at The Orleans Showroom at 8 p.m. each evening March 20, 21 and 22.
Rickles took his first step toward national fame in 1957, when Frank Sinatra wandered in to the small Hollywood nightclub where Rickles was performing. The still-unknown Rickles eyed Sinatra and said, “I just saw your movie, The Pride and the Passion, and I want to tell you, the cannon’s acting was great. And, make yourself at home, Frank. Hit somebody.” Sinatra doubled up laughing and became one of Rickles’ biggest boosters among Hollywood celebrities. He soon became the “in” comic among the Hollywood stars, who flocked to his nightclub engagements to become the targets of his “insults.” Read more

Fountain Blue casino hotel could already be in trouble
Filed Under Fountain Blue Las Vegas, Las Vegas Casinos, Las Vegas Gambling, Las Vegas Hotels, Las Vegas Resorts | Comments Off
According to the Las Vegas Sun, Standard and Poors believes that the Fountain Blue hotel resort in Las Vegas could have trouble making its interest payments once it opens:
Absent condo sales, Fontainebleau will have an interest burden of about $200 million on debts of $2.9 billion, S&P said. Earnings are expected to fall short of interest payments, which could trigger a default.
S&P, which rates the bonds of major gaming operators, has slashed earnings projections for Fontainebleau along with some other gaming operators. S&P also cut the resort’s credit rating.

European Professional Captures Festa Al Lago VI World Poker Tour Title at Bellagio
Filed Under Bellagio, Las Vegas, Las Vegas Casinos, Las Vegas Gambling, Las Vegas Poker | Comments Off
Festa al Lago VI, Bellagio’s month-long poker tournament, ended late Sunday night when Frenchman Bertrand “Elky” Grospellier defeated former World Poker Tour (WPT) champion Nam Le to win his first WPT title. Grospellier earned the $1,411,015 first place prize as well as a seat in the April 2009 WPT World Championship at Bellagio.
The annual event featured 17 no limit hold ‘em tournaments held in the Bellagio poker room and the Fontana Lounge. The entry fees ranged from $500-$5,000 with the WPT main event requiring an entry fee of $15,000. A Bellagio gold bracelet was awarded to the winners of all 17 events.
“It feels great to win a WPT event at Bellagio,” said Grospellier, who was raised in Paris, France and now lives in London. “I felt confident throughout the tournament but once I took over the chip lead (a couple of days ago) I knew I needed to adapt to each hand and play smarter.
“I was making the right moves and once I opened a large lead, the other players were never really able to fight back. I definitely will return to Bellagio in December to play the Five Diamond event.” Grospellier defeated 367 other competitors on his way to earning the second largest payday in his young career. Earlier this year he won a European Poker Tour title for more than $2 million.
Le, who was able to fight off defeat numerous times throughout the final table action, earned $943,215 for second place. California residents Oddie Dardon and Nenad Medic finished third and fourth and took home $506,245 and $373,010, respectively. Adam Levy, hailing from Orlando, Fla., cashed $266,445 for fifth while William Mietz of Littleton, Colo., won $186,510 for his sixth place finish.
“We were extremely pleased with the number of participants in this year’s Festa al Lago,” said Doug Dalton, director of poker operations at Bellagio. “The month-long tournament was an incredible success and with the tremendous support from our executives and all of the poker players, we anticipate an even larger turnout for our Five Diamond World Poker Classic in December.”
The Festa al Lago VI main event’s final table will be broadcast on Fox Sports Net (FSN) as part of the WPT Season VII television lineup, scheduled to begin airing during the FSN Sunday night sports block later this year. For more information, visit www.worldpokertour.com.
