Have you been having Valet issues? Being asked for a room key because they are only taking guests vehicles, until a $20 appears and then suddenly parking is available. The Venetian and The Palazzo are most notorious for this. The problem comes when they will not park your car even if you are dining at a restaurant on the property. In today’s economy and with all the lay-offs you would think the restaurants need all the biz they can get. Do they know that they are being sabotaged at the Valet level? Wake up people! The business is driving away pissed-off customers to your competition.
The Best Magic Trick Criss Angel ever performed
Angel made himself disappear! I am very happy to say that there have been zero sightings of Criss Angel the last few weeks. He didn’t even show up for a cameo at the AVN awards to be broadcasted on Showtime. I have been told the show is dark for the month of January but, this information is exactly opposite to what we were told by show management over a month ago when asking about the show going dark forever. We were told all is good. I better stop now before I jinx us and he re-appears.
