We must let go of all negative thoughts, because we only strengthen that negativity when we talk about it. The last eight years is proof of that. Think positive, act positive and your life will be better. We are all perfect, no matter what those. who believe they are in the know, say. I want a peaceful, happy life for all, we are all on this planet together, let’s make it a grand place to be for all.
Now that I have said my
say, I want to thank all of you faithful fans, who have
been supportive of me in the past. I love all of you. I
love the world and everyone in it. Love is the strongest
weapon we can ever use against fear, anger, hate and
greed. It won’t be easy but we can do it. I want to wish
you a very, merry Christmas, a very happy holiday to all
beliefs and a wonderful, grand, New Year.
I Love You All.
See you next year.
The Reverend Monti Rock III
******************************
12/16/2008 - As Christmas
and New Year's come upon us a
brief year in review might be in order. The triumphs and
scandals, talk about the economy, Obama, Obama,
Obama, the Illinois governor, another trial for
O.J. which resulted in a conviction this
time, major shows closing in Vegas, hotels downsizing,
yadda, yadda, yadda. Are we facing a grim future?
Personally I've had the most
triumphant year since my arrival in Las Vegas. The
success I enjoyed at Disco Ball at the
Taj Majal in Atlantic City
was for me the greatest reality show of the year. It was
standing room only together with standing ovations. We
hope to bring the show to Las Vegas in the near future.
Danny
Gans has been a Las Vegas headliner for years and
recently closed his show after all those years at the
Mirage. His many fans can rest easy
because he's opening at Steve Wynn's
Encore in February. Steve Wynn is still the visionary.
Always seems to amaze us, this man who has created the
landscape of what Las Vegas is today while Sheldon Adelson
keeps on building, building and building.
Adelson's
Venetian is still home to Blue Man Group,
Wayne Brady and the masterpiece Phantom
of the Opera, which this columnist has seen more
than ten times. Yes, I'm a bit excessive. On the other
hand, Adelson's Palazzo reportedly has laid off 250
people.
Only a few days
remain to catch Bette Midler at the
Colosseum for this year., though she has
added extra performances. Get your tickets while you still
can. Cher had to cancel the rest of her
season due to her health issues after missing several
performances at the Colosseum, but will return in Feb.
Disney is
now coming to Las Vegas. The music of Elton
John's Lion King will fill Mandalay Bay. I
thought Las Vegas was Disney, it's just we have different
kind of gaming. Plus, I always thought of myself as
Snow White so I'm right at home in the
Disney world.
Fuego
RawTalent will be moving to the Rio in Jan, 2009
with a revised show. The talented dancers and singers
have some new material which will thorougly have you
dancing in the aisles.
Once again I didn't get all my facts right so I want to
clear this up. Tim Molyneaux's show at
the Stratosphere, Bite,
has been extended. Tim, who's been a great friend of
mine, tells me the show is extended, extended,
extended and I am extending my apologies.
Bettie Page, the 1950's pinup queen has
died at the age of 85. She was one of the pioneers of
women's lib. Unfortumately, ill-health forced her to
retreat from the public eye at an early age, but her
photos will live on.
We
also mourn the passing of Hollywood star, Van
Johnson. He was one of the biggest movie
personalities of the 1940's, costarring with Lana Turner,
Esther Williams, and June Allyson , among others.
Golden
Arches like you've never seen before at Viva
McDonald' on the Strip. It's a high tech
McDonald' including large screen televisions and is quite
extraordinary. As if French fries weren't enough, the
asparagus were delicious. This is not the old McDonalds,
this is truly Viva McDonald's high tech state of the art
kitchen, and of course, that great McSDonald's coffee.
The
Mirage debut of the latest Strip
attraction, a multi-million dollar volcano,
came off without a hitch. Unfortunately I had to miss the
evening's affair since I was busy at rehearsal getting
ready for Lance and Eva Posner's annual
Christmas bash at their Henderson mansion.
The Mirage Volcano
erupts while Treasure Island falls into
the hands of Las Vegas entrepreneur, Phil Ruffin. Mr
Ruffin, who owned the New Frontier, has
just purchased The Treasure Island from MGM
Mirage. A good move for both, as MGM needs cash
to complete City Center, and Mr.Ruffin
belongs as a major player on The Strip.
I keep
trying to write about downtown. So as a reminder,
Gordie Brown will open in February at the
Golden Nugget, Caveman moves to
The Excalibur, beginning next week.
The Golden Nugget keeps on being the
fabulous jewel of downtown. The Fremont Street
Experience is offering up their Christmas show
while the Neonopolus can't seen to
keep tenants from moving in and moving out. Everyone
agrees it's hard opening a new business in the current
climate.
George
Wallace, the new Mr. Las Vegas, who appears at
the Flamingo is offering one of those
super deals around town right now that covers both his
show and dinner. There are rooms available at all the
major properties and the three hotels at Primm,
Nevada came up with one of the best offers
around, they're offering three free nights for all local
residents. Of course they're counting on the gaming and
food dollars but it still sounds like a great deal. Maybe
I'll go to Primm after Christmas if the offer is still
good. The outlet mall at Primm will probably be offering
special sale items, too. That settles it, I'm off to Primm.
I love to shop and I love a bargain.
Just spoke to
my friend Paige O'Hara who is one of the
stars in Menopause the Musical at the
Hilton. The show has just been extended
for another year. Ticket sales are down a bit but the show
continues to do good business.
My
year in review has to include some of my Las Vegas
favorites and maybe some not so favorites. At the present
time the Number One Show has to go to Donny and
Marie Osmond at the Flamingo. Another Number One
for me is comedian Vinny Favorito, also at the
Flamingo. The Best Variety Show is V
at the David Saxe Theater at Planet Hollywood.
The Best All Time has to be a draw between Jubilee
at Bally's and Folies
at Tropicana. The Number One
Act has to go to Bette Midler and
Cher at. My Favorite Restaurant is Yolie's
on Paradise. Best All Around Hotel Service has to go to
the Luxor, as well as the most improved
buffet The worst hotel service award goes to ......
Oops, I'd better let that one go.
They know who they are.
Biggest
comeback of the year goes to Britney Spears,
also tremendous year for Beyonce and
Alicia Keyes. Madonna's
concert tour and Bon Jovi's tour are
breaking records. It's amazing, that in
this economy, people still spend on entertainment.
The Golden Globe,
the most entertaining of the award shows, has announed
it's nominations. The late Heath Ledger.
Merryl Streep, plus some surprises
(Mickey Rourke) are among the nominees.
Jan 11 will tell all., then, Oscar will
follow in Feb if there is no actors strike,--SAG
at it again. Grammy awards also
come in Feb.
The Rev
Monti still has some openings for Holiday Season
Million Dollar Weddings.
12/08/2008
Well, OJ's trial is
over but his tribulations are only beginning. A minimum of
approximately 9 years in prison-most likely in solitary-is what he has
to look forward to. Should he break any rules or get into any trouble,
he would jeopardize his chances for parole and could possibly face more
time. Is this sentence a little stiff for this crime or has his past
influenced the judges' final decision. It IS very difficult to forget
what happened 13 years ago.
Last week
wasn't the best week for television viewers. The Britney Spears
comeback on Good Morning America as well as her
MTV performance left me cold. At least she appears to be
making an effort to recover and that's good. The Rosie O'Donnell
Variety Show tanked and NBC couldn't pull the plug fast
enough. Rosie O'Donnell --- Roseanne Barr, I get them
confused. Both are having a hard time trying to return to prime time
TV. During this year's Grammy nominations show,
John Meyer and B.B. King brought the
house down with their version of "Let the good times roll".
Everyone seems to be
looking forward to Beyonce's movie, Cadillac
Records, which is scheduled for release before Christmas.
Beyonce is portraying the one and only Etta James. the
look may be good but nobody can match that Etta James'
sound.
Benjamin Button is another movie set to be
released about the same time. It stars Brad Pitts and
Cate Blanchett. I was fortunate enough to see the
preview of the movie last week and must say it was more than I
expected. There may be Oscar talk for both Brad and
Kate's extraordinary performances.in one of the best films I've seen in
years..
Theater goers can breathe easy
now. It's official. Disney productions made the
announcement that the Broadway award winning musical Lion King
will arrive at Mandalay Bay and replace the
highly successful Mamma Mia which is closing after six
years. Both speculation and anticipation have surrounded this
announcement. We're glad it's official. We got to see a sample of what
to expect this past weekend as some of the New York cast performed 3
numbers for the show at a media event at Mandaly Bay. This will be
something to see, a full 2 hour and 20 minute version which replicates
the origianal Broadway production. Previes begin in April and opening
night is May 2. Tickets will be on sale shortly. Definitely a must see!
Many of the major
properties continue to cut back because of the current economy. I was
surprised to hear even some housekeeping and front desk positions are
being eliminated. With the closing of the Oasis in
Mesquite, it makes me ask, "are we facing more
troubled times?" Even the popular nightclubs are no longer picking up
the tab when invited stars come in. Many of the nightclubs paid stars
to provide an attraction and draw crowds. I've been told Madonna drew
large crowds last week end and the clubs were full.
With Christmas upon us
Donny and Marie Osmond are doing their
Christmas Show at the Flamingo while
Bette Midler has even added a couple of Christmas songs
to the Showgirl Must Go On at Caesar's. Dec 19 brings
Paul Anka to The Orleans as more and
more top headliners move from the strip to the locals casinos. These are
the people who need no special effects,etc to entertain. . They are the
true talents of show biz.
The Las Vegas Marathon took place December 7th
and it seems to be getting better organized and drawing more athletes
each year. One of our favorite charities, Opportunity Village
which is unique to Las Vegas, is the beneficiary of proceeds from the
Marathon. the winners received $8000.00 each.
Good news for all those fans of
Wes Winters. Wes has just returned to
Carluccio's for his Wonderland Christmas Show.
All performances have been sold out for the Christmas show but Wes will
be appearing at the Suncoast Hotel & Casino on January
16, 17 and 18.
Las Vegas residents and visitors
who catch the local weather on NBC affiliate
Channel 3 know John Fredricks and his
beautiful Lab, L. J. (Little Jordan). L.J. has been
banned from the set my darlings, supposedly for biting one of the
employees. Bad dog, bad dog.
Menopause the Musical
in its 4th year still doing great business. Mystere,
the first (and arguably the best) of the Cirque du Soleil
productions on the strip is celebrating its 15th year at
Treasure Island. This is the show that launched all the the
Cirque productions.
If you're looking for a pick-me-up for the
cool winter nights or any other time for that matter, try the fabulous
chili at Shari's Diner located at 1900
North Buffalo Drive. The pot roast and the burgers are also top noptch.
You won't be disappointed and you'll love the atmosphere at Shari's
Diner, "where the 50's Come Alive!"
Rev Monti will see again next time.

RETRACTION----Unfortunately
last week we reported INCORRECTLY that
Thunder From Down Under reportedly
would be closing. This was error. "Thunder "
is alive and doing well at The Excalibur.
For my "Monti-Licious" readers,
this Thanksgiving I have so much to be grateful and
thankful for, as a columnist, a journalist and The
Gossip King, my credibility is all I have to sell.
This week, the
announcement of the Peep Show at Planet
Hollywood and Disney’s Lion King
coming to the Mandalay Bay, tells us
that even though we are we in a recession in Las Vegas,
there is a light at the end of the tunnel. As shows are
closing and the theaters and hotel rooms are almost
half empty, even with the gas prices going down, our
economy is in a terrible, terrible condition. But, the
happy go lucky Monti Rock III reports
that the locals can take advantage of this economic
crunch. Again, for tickets for tonight, house seats, go
on the internet and find a way to get free seats and 2
for 1 dinners. There is so much to be seen.
I like the Sahara show, Raw Talent and last week I went to see Donnie and Marie at the Flamingo. My title for this show – delicious, delicious, delicious. Marie bought a beautiful mansion in Henderson and I have been watching Dancing With the Stars with Brooke Burke winning, Lance Bass, he was in synch or was it "in sunk " sunk, he stunk. Next thing you know, we just may have Clay Akins Dancing with the Stars, now that he is a father. That’s a winner. Cloris Leachman, who is 83 years old and divine, let the cat out of the bag by announcing that The Bride of Frankenstein, a Mel Brooks show, will be closing. There will be 15 other shows closing on Broadway beginning in January. That’s the economy.
As other producers keep pitching shows here, I fell in love with one show I saw called Bettie Page. Bettie Page was a pin up girl of the 40s and 50s – an icon. There is a store at Planet Hollywood that deals with her clothing line, paintings and photographs. This is an amazing new show soon to open at a major property in Las Vegas.
What is the status of Steve Warrick? Again, I have to give it to David Saxe, who has a well- oiled machine and who has Louie Anderson at the Excalibur, Thunder From Down Under at the Excalibur and American Storm at the Stratosphere. So, is there a problem? I reported last week about Bite at the Stratosphere. Rumor has it there is a problem. At the Cannery, we have the return of Jerry Vale, Frankie Randall, Dick Contino– all those older stars. So, there is hope for us older performers who are legends. I was in Atlantic City doing Disco Ball, which was a major hit for me, we might bring the show here sometime in January.
We all know that Danny Gans who closed at the Mirage is opening at the Encore and la Reve at the Wynn keeps working and redoing and of course, as I reported for the last 3 weeks, Criss Angel is still holding court at the Luxor. I don’t want to give him a bad review again, but it remains to be seen, does the show have legs or will word of mouth kill it? Please do not shoot the messenger. Again, when I talk about Criss Angel, I keep talking about the other magic acts, which are Lance Burton at the Monte Carlo, Penn and Teller at the Rio -even Dixie Dooley and his séances.
Again what is happening with the Riviera?. We know Frank Marino is still in La Cage and Crazy Girls at the Riviera and the Russian Ice show are still doing business. The brokers, the brokers. With all the construction being put on hold by major properties, the redoing of the Excalibur show, Tournament of Kings has been put on hold and Jubilee is covering up at Ballys. I, for one, need to see these shows survive because they are the pillars of Las Vegas.
When will this columnist be amazed and entertained? When can I report on something new? Mama Mia celebrates their 6th year, before closing in January. Mandalay Bay is now proeparing for the opening of the Broadway hit, The Lion King. This production is going all the way with the same staging and sets as the New York production.
What is the nightclub situation in Vegas? How are the New Year’s Eve reservations stacking up? People just can’t afford those high prices. But, that doesn’t stop your columnist from organizing the Party of the Century, Disco Christmas Ball Party. I want to bring the fun to Christmas. I want to be the new St. Nick. Deck the Halls with bells of Monti. Tra la la la la. This is the season to spend your money on Monti.
The wonderful Vera Goulet, Robert Goulet’s lovely widow is still having her house done and ready for Christmas. We love you Vera!
Christmas lights and family fun! Be sure to visit Ethel M Chocolates and their Wonderland Cactus Gardens and enjoy the delightful smells of a chocolate wonderland. This is free to the public and open from 5 to 10 p.m. daily. Also, Opportunity Village has their Magical Forest with a train, carousel and story time theater. The cost is $9.50 and $7.50. This is a worthy cause and well worth the admission.
So, my Thanksgiving was wonderful. For my readers, I want to thank Michael Politz, Gary Coles, and the entire staff at TheVegasEye for making my blogs work.
Once again a Happy and Health Holiday Season from your "Million Dollar Wedding" man, The Rev Monti
11/25/2008
The local media was invited to Planet Hollywood for a
press conference this week. It was no surprise a totally new show was
being announced. Planet Hollywood has tried over and over searching for
the right show to headline in their showroom. As a columnist and man
about town this new show could be the innovation I've been calling
for. Surprise me! Jerry Mitchell is the creator
behind this latest effort at Planet Hollywood titled The Peep
Show. Mitchell is not only the shows creator he's also the
director and producer and comes to Las Vegas and Planet Hollywood with a
lot of credibility. The Peep Show opens at Planet Hollywood in March
2009. Mel B (aka Melanie Brown) and
Kelly Monaco both performed on Dancing With the
Stars and will have major roles in The Peep Show. Planet
Hollywood's earlier shows included X-Burlesque, Steve Wyrick
and Magic. Remember Pamela Anderson?
The current show, Stomp Out Loud closes in January.
Readers may remember I was a big
fan of We Will Rock You when it was at Paris.
Paris was also the stage for Hunch Back of Notre Dame.
Avenue Q and Spamalot were at
Wynn and Harvey Firestein starred in
Hairspray at the Luxor. You can't say Las Vegas hasn't made
the effort when it comes to Broadway productions. Currently
Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian, Jersey Boys
at Palazzo and of course Mamma Mia at
Mandalay Bay keep the Broadway theme going in Las
Vegas.
Last week I wrote about Legends
in Concert moving to Harrah's after a
twenty-five year run at Imperial Palace. There has
been a lot of hoop-la about the move but no where have I seen a mention
of John Stewart, the man that created Legends in
Concert. Seems John is no longer involved in the production since the
show was taken over by OnStage Entertainment but we
still tip our hat to John for his vision of the show. Legends in
Concert will be sharing the room with Rita Rudner at Harrah's. I see it
as a good fit for both shows.
For those of you needing a laugh
Comedy Special this week with Ellen Degeneres at
Caesars Palace should be your stop. Ellen can be a
real charmer and she along with Jerry Seinfeld and all
the comics they could cram into Caesars will make for a
laughable night. Ellen is also taping parts of the concert for a
special to be seen on TBS on Nov 29th.
It's confession time. I admit I
love certain television shows. I'm crazy about ABC's Pushing
Daisies. Word to the powers that be..... please don't cancel
Daisies. It's my weekly fix.
Next week's television will
bring the season finale of Dancing With the Stars. My
money's on Brooke Burke. Don't get me wrong, I like
Lance Bass but Lance needs to grow a personality.
Barry Manilow's
show at the Hilton is going through another change, which is good. The
show continues to do incredible business for this market.
Danny Gans closes his show at the Mirage on
Saturday and prepares to open at his new theater created for him by
Steve Wynn when Encore opens after the
first of the year. Boulder Station has brought back
its Blues format to the Railhead (along with a brand
new revamped Buffet), and Jeff McBride closes after a
respectable run. Caveman, the hit show at the
Golden Nugget is moving to the Excalibur
making room for Gordie Brown at The Golden
Nugget. and reportedly forced the closing of Thunder
From Down Under. Tickets are a now on sale for Terry
Fator's 2009 opening at The Mirage, after a
successful run at The Hilton.
Latest word about
Jubilee at Bally's is they're going to cover
up. What's that about? Jubilee has been a Las Vegas headline for years
and everyone goes to see the beautiful skin as well as the beautiful
costumes. The Folies Bergere at the Tropicana is
another Las Vegas headline that continues to do brisk business like
Jubilee. And then of course, there's Criss Angel at
Luxor who is retooling, retooling, retooling.
Everyone's invited to attend
Joe Williams' 90th Birthday Celebration on Sunday
December 7 at 2:00 PM. Tickets will be available at the door at
Summerlin Library Performing Arts Theater, 1771 Inner Circle Drive or
call (702) 507-3860. The Celebration will feature Ronnie Rose
and the Vince Falcone Quartet with special
guests Marlene Shaw and The Cunninghams.
Tickets are $20 and proceeds will benefit The Joe Williams
Foundation. Sounds like a great was to spend an afternoon.
Just in----Bite, the
show at The Stratosphere has "been bitten". The show
supposedly has been purched by the Stratosphere and they now own it.
Birthday wishes to
Audrey Holmes, mother of entertainer Clint
Holmes, on her 93rd birthday. Keep it up Audrey-------you're
quite a lady!
Recently I had friends that arrived from
New York and was amazed to hear the "good deals" they
had which included air fare, hotels and dinner shows. We are talking
modest prices, everything considered. It was Expedia!
Raw Talent. has
changed the name to Fuego Raw Talent. This dance
extravaganza it really most entertaining. and offers a novel approach to
telling a story using dance as one of the shows stars.
As Thanksgiving
approaches, we are all reminded thls is one of our true
American Holidays, and The Rev Monti wilshes all a
great holiday season.
Last but not least, the
Christmas shows be upon us.
*******************************
18/2008
My head is still reeling from the Criss Angel
show Believe at the Luxor.
Seems like controversy has surrounded this project from
day one. As I wrote last week the show has some redeeming
qualities even though it hasn't made me believe
yet. Cirque or not, opportunity for
improvement remains with Believe but only time will tell.
I've written in my column that I'm a
great fan of David Copperfield because
he's a magician's magician. It's not just about the
illusions, it's that David makes you believe it. It must
be magic! David works all year long and all over the
world which has made him one of the wealthiest magician
alive. Some have tried to include David in scandal yet he
remains the epitome of what magic is about. Seems
everybody wants to be Houdini but there was only one.
Enough said.
Alianti Station, the latest creation of
Station Casinos, opened 11/11 at 11:11 PM. This
was not by chance either. It was a great evening and
everything was well presented. Lori Nelson
did a great job for Alianti. While there I ran into
Danny and Robin Greenspun
who were divine and gracious as ever. The drive north to
Alianti is worth a visit, it's a marvelous sight.
Everyone
has heard about the Sands Corporation
putting a hold on some of their projects around the world,
but let's not get too excited. After all Sheldon
Adelson and his wife are at the top of the list
when it comes to vision and creation. Just look at the
Venetian and the Palazzo.
Maybe they had to dip into their own pockets for some
loose change, so what! Adelsons have become Las Vegas
visionaries, and one of the most charitable couples in the
world-- and my dime's on them.
The Sands Corporation, the Boyd
Corporation and others will make it through this
stretch of slow. There have been reported employee
buy-outs and some layoffs while properties trim the fat.
Sands has laid off 11,000 construction workers in the
Asian market. Station Casinos and
IGT have also allegedly laid off
employees.
Together with
my staff we dropped in at the Sahara to
see Raw Talent. The show reminds me of
an eclectic but wonderful presentation that involves
passion, voodoo and fabulous Latin music. Pedro
Dikan Castano and Deyamira Diaz Fernandez
, formerly of Havana Nights are
outstanding lead singers in the production. Raw Talent,
like Havana Nights before it, definitely has something.
Let's face it... music, passion, beautiful costumes,
dancing and many great dancers..... what's not to like?
After many years
Legends in Concert will
find a new home at Harrah's starting
December 15. The show has been a mainstay at
Imperial Palace but is expected to draw even
larger crowds at Harrah's Showroom. Legends has been home
to a lot of talent over the years.
This must be the season for change. My wonderful friend
Joanne Downey from the Review
Journal will soon be making a change too. After
more than twenty years as Special Events Coordinator
Joanne will be leaving to start her own business, Las
Vegas Celebrity Services. Her past efforts will no doubt
see her to success in this latest venture. Joanne's
exceptional kindness to me when I first arrived on the
Las Vegas scene ten years ago will always be appreciated
and remembered.
Nov 20-22 brilngs us the annual Comedy
Festival at Caesars. This years
headliners include Ellen DeGeneres, Jerry
Seinfeld, David Alan Grier, and Katt
Williams among others.. This week also brought
back the one and only Wayne Newton to the
MGM, his voice hopefully well rested.
Wednesday night, Nov 12th, at the Playboy Club
at Palms, Joanne Downey introduced
everyone to Norm Clark's latest book,
Sinsational Celebrity Tales. It was a
spectacular evening enjoyed by many. Among those
attending to support and congratulate Norm were
Dan Marandino, Harrah's
President, Lon Kruger from UNLV,
Chip Lightman Mike Weatherford from the
Review Journal, and of course yours
truly. Donny Osmond, wearing an eye
patch for the occasion, met Norm at a nearby location, as
The Playboy Club is a no-no for him. The star of the
evening had to be the beautiful white rabbit that jumped
to the microphone to introduce Norm Clark. You had to be
there to appreciate it. It was remarkable.
Another great friend of mine recently left the Las Vegas
scene and has landed at Agua Caliente Casino
and Resort in the Palm Springs
Area. Phil Cooper is the Executive
Director and from what I've read so far this has got to be
a fabulous place. The theater at Agua Caliente seats 2000
and they have a spectacular line up of stars like
Billy Joel, Tony Bennett, Trace Adkins and funny
man Lewis Black. Congrats to my friend
and a real gentleman, Phil Cooper.
December 13th will bring Rock Star Auction,
hosted by yours truly, that offers everything from
Hummers to diamonds. Plan ahead and order your Rock Star
Auction Pass by calling 702-755-3628.
Don't forget to tell them Monti sent you. You can also
preview the merchandise and get directions to the
location. We'll cover more on the Auction in the weeks
ahead. Never too early to mark your calendar for the
auction which will be held December 13.
While you're filling in the blanks of your calendar for
December be sure to leave space for A Very Disco
Christmas in Las Vegas. This is one of my annual
affairs and I'm pleased to announce this year's Christmas
celebration will be hosted by Lance and
Eva Posner, Terese DiMartino, Paige O'Hara, Marci
Weiss, Diane and David Filter of
The English Garden and Michael
Politz of TheVegasEye.
Also note the Million Dollar Weddings by
The Rev Monti is offering special
incentives through the end of the year.



Monti
Rock III, performed to a sold out crowd as part of the featured
show -Disco Ball. I revisited
Disco Tex and his Sex-O-Lettes. Vito Bruno,
the producer, put together ten dancers, a big band, and young Sex-O-Lettes
behind me and it was a triumph. Thanks to the Trump organization all of
the performers enjoyed first class accommodations and top of the line
amenities. It's good to be Disco Tex again. With the sell-out of the
show, (about 5000 people), I guess I shouldn't be too surprised to find
casinos in Atlantic City filled with a lot of action. It was perfect for
promoting my CDs and t-shirts and made me quite aware of star power.
But, what do I know, I'm just a journalist.
