Steve Wynn Begs For Mercy

It’s time for an update on some of Vegas’ latest news stories. Brian and Tommy take a look at HBO CEO Chris Albrecht’s past, get to the bottom of the Luxor parking lot bomb, and the unthinkable has happened at the Wynn.

Too serious for you? Well fear not. They also discuss Ricky Henderson stuck in a time warp, the search for the ultimate TAI spokesmodel, and a relaxing day by the pool gets awkward. Just wait ’til Billy gets here!

    This Ain’t Iowa First Annual Offical Summer Blowout
    Dates: June 10-14

    Nothing beats naming a ONE MAN VACATION. Seriously let’s fire it up. Mid-week. Cheap Rates. AMAZING POKER. The WSOP, Bellagio Cup III and Venetian Deep Stack Exstravaganza all going off. I plan on playing at the Venetian unless I satellite into another event.
    June 11 No-Limit Hold’em $330
    June 12 Limit Hold’em $330
    June 13 No-Limit Hold’em $540
    There should be lots of extra time for drinking and debauchary ie Gilmore Girls Sidebetting.

    A couple of gouchers from this am’s episode.

    Alyssa has got to be a lock for the spokesmodel of the show. Born 19Dec72. I was also born in 1972. Also, in college my roommates and I had a lifesized cutout of Judith Light that I stole from a TV station that worked in in high school. That provided YEARS of nonstop entertainment. I also went OUT of my way to buy a rare magazine called Bikini in 1992 that featured her in their premiere issue TOPLESS. Cha-Ching.

    Great sushi discussion. Sushi is probably my favorite meal in which to go out for. Nothing beats getting a large Sapporro and large hot Sake and then piling in the amazing fish. I haven’t been to the Social House, but maybe we can fire it up when I’m out there in June. My favorite Vegas location is also Nobu. I was turned on to this joint by nonother than Erick Lindgren. I was playing him on Full Tilt one day and he said he was going to sushi for his birthday. I asked him for the best sushi recommendation in Vegas…Nobu.

    Tired of having your mind numbed by the senseless drivel of some National League Fanboy expressing the merits of the Gilmore Girls for Christ Sake? Then come over to the following link and participate with in a literature discussion with others who have actually completed postgraduate education. Joking of course, I spend most of my time talking about taking dumps and what the term is called for “third ups” you know the one after “sloppy seconds” , but Trainfan’s site rules and everyone should get in the mix.

    PS. Awesome Ricky Henderson talk today. David Cross has a hilarious bit about speaking about yourself in the third person and HAMMERS on Ricky. Check it out on one of his CD’s. Brian gave us a taste of it today. Patch is gunna do what patch is gunna do.

    hey patch, i am looking to play in those same events, so as long as i don’t go broke in the first 11 days of june, i’ll see you there.

    note on the TAI blow out: both TI and Venetian will host private tables and provide dealers, etc. and i think they just charge their normal rake. i would gladly pay the house to host a game and provide drinks.

    WHOA! Tommy Dutch, i was more than willing to overlook your love of the the Gilmore Girls. we all have our personal peccadilos and i am sure there are lots of things we all like that others would find strange – thats the whole point of this podcast, but you lost me at the “best show of the last decade.” are you fucking kidding me? there are dozens of others shows that should be put ahead of it since 1997.

    Fobes btw how yous doing in the Mirage Tourney? I’m sure you’ll be livin’ large by the 11th. It’ll be awesome going into battle with a TAI collegue. Maybe we can swap pieces/crossbook or even better work out a lastlonger humilation bet ie the loser has to purchase, watch a complete season of the gilmore girls and write a “book report” style review on the boards.

    Does anybody play anything but hold’em in Vegas. I love playing stud @ the mirage with the geriatric crew. I saw today that the TI has 3-6 badugi and 4-8 crazy pineapple. I’d love to get in some of those games.

    My nominee for Miss TAI is the lovely Gigi Andrews. Gigi’s credits include:

    Reigning Miss Nude Iowa
    2005 S.P.E.W. Oil Wrestling World Champion
    2004 Miss Nude Galaxy Finalist
    2004 Kid Rock stage dancer
    2004 MTV music video girl

    I’m not sure that we can find a more perfect fit.

    I think you all should have to work to find the really good (wink, wink, nod, nod) links on google.

    But you can get a pretty good idea on her myspace page: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=41656193

    Not only is she the complete package – I would think she might fit into Brian and Tommy’s budget.

    And as far as I can tell, she’s a Des Moines, Iowa Whore.

    I’m not sure that we can find a more perfect fit.

    I think you all should have to work to find the really good (wink, wink, nod, nod) links on google. The second result – the one after her myspace page is the real winner – just don’t have your six year old hanging around when you do the search

    Not only is she the complete package – I would think she might fit into Brian and Tommy’s budget.

    Took a peak at Gigi…I like the concept and the theory, but I gotta be honest…she’s a little rough above the shoulders. That face ain’t too easy on the eyes.

    I remember hearing a comedian (bmo may remember the bit and the author) doing a bit about how hot Milano is/was on “who’s the boss”. I don’t remeber the set-up, but the punchline was something like, “hey Sam your old man’s downstairs vacuuming why don’t we go UPSTAIRS and BONE.”

    That’s solid gold.

    Ok I have two picks for Miss This Ain’t Iowa. First up we have the lovely Jennifer Hawkins, who looks highly intelligent on the surface, but one word geebanger.

    And if we are going to talk child stars that turned hotties it has the be Miss Charles In Charge and the most underrated Baywatch baby of the all Nicole Eggert.

    I did some google research on Gigi as suggested by T.F. One of her co-workers named Jasmine also has some accolades that I found hilarious. Actual reprint from website:

    2005 Miss Nude Hot Buns (Best Ass)

    Oh she took down “best ass” in the Hot Buns competition, this is bullshit, I thought she was the “subtlest dimples” title holder.

    Charles in Charge is VERY Stong – But I’m going to try and make my case for Gigi –

    We’ve both seen Brian and Tommy. Let’s not outkick our coverage on this one -

    First – Gigi is Miss nude IOWA
    Second – She was KID ROCK DANCER
    Third – She’s a Whore!
    Fourth – In case you missed this pageReasonable Prices!!

    The whole Miss S.P.E.W. Oil Wrestling Champion – and the referee outfit are simply gravey at this point. I mean think about this: with a small collection we could no doubt get this woman to show up at a TAI event in Vegas.

    I’m going to see if I can get her to call into the show.

    I’m not gonna let this go over some airbrushed Maxim model. This woman should have “One of Billy’s Babes” tatooed on her ass

    Thanks for the meet up in Vegas guys. Always great to meet up with Brian/Shaun again and a pleasure to meet w/ Mofobes, TD, & Yzerman for the first time.

    The casino comp segment will be coming this Friday. I didn’t have the time to record one for last Friday due to my Tues-Sun trip.

    Also, if I were a betting man I’d put a $100 bill on the Rio as #1. I’d probably also follow that up with a $20 on the Palms as #1.

    Bad gambling karma continues for me and fobes, this time at Ceasars. Anyway, I’m betting on beer league softball today.

    Felix Hernandez is a stud and when he’s on I’ll watch the A.L. any time. The prob with Felix is that everyone in Vegas is on to him and he is actually overvalued now. Especially today, he’s fresh off the D.L. and is on a pitch count of 70. Even if he’s brilliant he’ll only throw about five. This leaves us up against Seattle’s wounded bullpen. I like my chances with Escobar on the hill. He’s been throwing great and believe it or not I’m taking + money here. It’s similar to situations where I often take the RL, but I figure the better value is straight up here.

    I got the Angels +107 @ Coast Season Total: All Square

    Hate to be obvious, but the show is “this A’INT iowa”. I’d say non-Iowa chix should be the front runners for spokesmodel. Also, we need to add some flavor, way too many white chix so far. I have a serious thang for the Asian Ladies. My new suggestion is poker pro…liz lieu. Check out the pix on: http://www.lizlieu.net

    after a great start in the satellites at Mirage, i got brutalized in the actual tourneys. in the limit tourney, i had 5, 3-outers hit against me in an hour. that pretty much KO’d me. then in the NL tourney i couldn’t get away from an over pair (QQ) vs. J9 on a JJ4 flop. i had to lead out and then was pot committed. i used my final tourney chip to play in a $540 satellite yesterday. i finished 2nd, but it was winner take all and the other guy had me out chipped 4 to 1, so i couldn’t even make a good deal to get some money out of it.

    TD, you need to HTFU with this Gilmore Girls crap. That one girl who plays the younger sister might be the worst actress on TV.

    My vote fot the TAI spokeswomen is Katie Rees as CB noted. She’s hot, she strips for free in bars, and she’s probably dating George Maloof.

  42. Dutch
    May 15, 2007 | 6:03 pm

    Rosario Dawson is my nomination of the day.

    Brad, there are no sisters, just one daughter. If your commenting on Alexis Bledel we got issues. I’d put her in the top 5 actresses under 30. Dawson, Natalie Portman ummm that’s all I can think of off the top of my head.

    We have our work cut out picking a final four:
    at this point my vote would be
    Milano
    Rees
    Eggert
    Gigi
    keep em coming

  43. brian
    May 15, 2007 | 6:38 pm

    Wow, all due respect TF, but Vegas is the home of ATTRACTIVE whores. That chick puts the BUT in butterface. As far as getting a chick who isn’t a 10 based on Tommy and I and our physical shortcomings, I get rejected by 4′s so we might as well shoot for the stars. I’m gonna have to pass.

  44. Dutch
    May 15, 2007 | 6:49 pm

    nomination: local radio talk show host, actress and daughter of Kasey Kasem. check out kerrikasem.com

  45. Dutch
    May 15, 2007 | 6:56 pm

    I’m also certainly nominating Rosario Dawson.

    Brad if your talking about Alexis Bledel she’s one of the best actresses under 30. GG is a tough show for actors because of the quick dialouge and challanging vocab but she does it very well.

    as of now my final 4 vote would be:
    Milano
    Rees
    Eggert
    Gigi

    keep em coming
