I saw episode two last night, missed the first one. What a cornball format
and plot line.

But I saw about twelve seconds of real shots of Laughlin in two second bursts
while they changed segments.

Let's see:

* a shot of the night-time Golden Nugget white lights canopy only showing
"casino".

* driving down Casino Drive going south with the Aquarius (?) marquee showing
through the back window

* a shot of Casino Drive going south where you see the CB and TE marquees
(maybe it was still RE?)

* possible Riverside night-time lights

···

*****
So the Viva Casino had old reel slot machines like Wild Cherry and Double
Diamond, didn't see any video ones. The competitor casino had new video ones
including progressive ones. Not a glimpse of any VP in any joint that I saw.

So the Viva Casino ended up dealing single deck BJ down to the last card in
the deck. I guess they didn't even burn a card, anyone notice?

So they were talking about counting cards, but the plot line was about
remembering the actual cards left in the deck sort of like poker outs, not if the
count was favorable.

There was a topless pool at the competitor's casino. Have not found that in
Laughlin yet.

The cocktailer put up with a drink tip being stuck into her ample cleavage.

So who remembers what songs were sung? I can remember Queen's "Fat Bottomed
Girls".

I saw episode one, and I am afraid that was my final one. They had
some neat shots from up in Don Laughlin's palace, a drive through
town, and some dialog along the Pioneer river walk area. But- what is
the point of jumping out into a lip sync routine? They sung Viva Las
Vegas twice, but I thought the name of the show was Viva Laughlin? I
don't think this show will last too long.

Yea my daughter called me from Idaho last night to see if I was watching Viva Laughlin. I
told her that based on what I'd seen so far I didn't hold out much hope. It almost
embarrassed me that, right as I hung up with her, they burst into song yet again. I try to
be the eternal optimist that things will get better but....I dunno. *shrug*

On a completely unrelated matter, I got a mailing from Eldorado in Reno last week telling
me I was now a member of their "Gold" club and along with it came two free nights, two
free buffets and some show tickets. Only thing is, I hardly ever play there. But I also can't
find my red club card so I guess I must've left it in a machine and somebody started
playing on it.(?) Anyway the two free nights expires before Christmas so I didn't give it
much thought until today when Southwest had a RT "Ding" special PDX/RNO for $79
including tax so I guess I'll take advantage of the offer.
