Journalist Dis-Invited to Cirque Opening
We
received a call today from
70 year old
celebrity Monti Rock III who was
apparently told that
he was
dis-invited
from the Criss Angel Believe opening.
Ad man
Dave Kirvin
in all his usual glory sent Rock III an email
saying that
he was dis-invited
to the opening and the Gala because they over
invited people. This, on the day
that
Rock had received standing ovations in his new
Atlantic City show, Disco Ball.
Rock III is also an entertainment columnist with
a number of publications.
Rock III has been on Johnny Carson 84 times and
76 times on Merv Griffin.
He has been in
12 major
motion pictures and
countless
other television shows and 3 gold albums.
Yet,
the brass and star-fu#@ers of Vegas will not
give him the respect the long time entertainer
has earned.
They turn their backs on entertainment legend
Monti Rock III and
announce
pornstars, nude models, low brow actors and
others that have not been broadcasted in over 15
years to walk a “black Carpet”.
This is truly embarrassing to Las Vegas. Why in
Gods name would anyone want to put a 70 year old
man through this?
How can Criss
Angel allow this to happen? I
have seen this type of proprietary party list
happen before. However,
no good comes
from this. Even
I am still
being punished by MGM for unveiling the Sin City
Beer /MGM Executive conspiracy.
I was even told by an upper level V.P., that
if I
didn’t play by
their rules, then they don’t have to work with
me. How’s that for MGM
wanting honest journalistic opinion.
What's Next? Separate Bathrooms?
Watch Protest at Poetry Nightclub Inside Caesars
Palace Forum Shops on RawVegas.tv
Caesars Palace closes the giant fire door
between the casino and the Forum Shops every
Friday and Saturday Night during peak club hours
restricting access to the popular hip hop
nightclub. Caesars lawyers claim the closing of
the giant fire door preventing access into the
Forum Shops or exiting by our customers into
their casino is a business issue and not a race
issue. What is the business issue? To put us out
of business? Is it prudent in theses harsh
economic times to prevent people from accessing
your business based off the color of their skin?
said Poetry's Branden Powers also being
contested is Poetry Nightclub's air-conditioning
units.. Simon Properties owners of the Forum
Shops refuses to fix Poetry's air conditioning
after 5 sweltering hot summers. Poetry is
supposed to have 150 gallons of water per
minute. Simon Properties only provides 25
gallons per minute. We feel it is an attempt to
heat out our clientel based on race. "Our
lawsuit against Caesars Palace and the Forum
shops isn't about money...its about standing up
for the rights of our customers and for the
right for us to operate our business
unobstructed" added Poetry's Branden Powers
Several Hundred People came together last week
in a silent observance of racism in action
