Linq: Sort of a Big Deal

/ Tim / 8 Comments

There was a time when the notion of Imperial Palace and O’Shea’s going away would have bummed me out. Unfortunately, under the ownership of Caesars Entertainment, most of the charm of these two joints has eroded. So with VegasTripping’s report today that both casinos are likely to undergo much more than the “reskinning” previously revealed, I’m just sort of meh about the whole thing. VT reports that we should know more when Caesars discusses the mighty Linq during a press conference on Wednesday.

The days of BEER Fun! Fun! Fun! are long gone.

Update (8/17/11)
It’s official. For all of the details, read this and this.

I Can Name That New Las Vegas Stage Show in Two Notes

/ Tim / 6 Comments

The 1970s were a simpler time—a time when a man could appear on a game show, identify a few shitty songs and win a year’s supply of Turtle Wax, an organ or a brand new Datsun. Magic happened every day. Lives changed.

On Aug. 18, that magic returns when Name That Tune Live opens at Imperial Palace. Expect an official announcement with showtimes and ticket prices soon.
