I vaguely remember seeing Ben Affleck on the Tonight Show making some grapefruit remark, maybe he got the idea from Dana Carvey. Either way, the whole infatuation with celebrities thing is just crazy, perpetrated by bored people with no lives of their own.

Not sure what to make of this celebrity thing either, but will say this: whomever is in charge of promoting Fremont Street has shown more creativity in the past year than LVCVA has shown in a decade. Granted, the latter has shown as much creativity as, well, a bag of grapefruit, but Downtown is obviously trying. It’s the nature of the creative process that some ideas work well, others are duds. But FSE’s promotional track record this year—in an awful economic climate—has been pretty good.

It was Dana carvey that said that about the grarefruit. I totally agree. I have never understood the whole concept of celebrities. I remember when I was 15 I went to the movies with my friends. we were standing in the ticket line and Michael Bolton walked up behind us with his daughter. He just had a hit “Fools Game” on MTV. My friends all started to kiss his ass, telling him he was awesome…then they asked for his autograph. His daughter, who was prob 6 or 7, reached into her little purse and took out a pen and notebook and said “Here we go again Dad”. He asked their names and wrote them an autograph. He asked me if i wanted one, and I said “No thanks”. He looked totally stunned, but just said “OK”. I understand if a person inspires you in some way, or moves you to make an improvment in your life, but just the fact that they are on TV or whatever does not make them better than anyone else.

I like being one of the labor class tourist gamblers that stay and play downtown. Clean always makes us want to come back to decent room prices. Set the hold at 2 1/2, and pay back of slots at 97 1/2% Give’em a good gamble, dress the female staff like we have to take a second look whick we will open do after a couple of the free drinks for players. Stuff the area downtown with STRESS cops who only work violence(leave the hookers alone for us to hire or oogle) and make us feel totally safe, secure, and let us enjoy spending our money in downtown Las Vegas.

Keep the plastic people on the strip!

Downtown should just hire lots and lots of hot chicks to walk around, play blackjack, give out free drinks,etc.

Instead of celebrities downtown should try a theme to be carried out all summer long. Like a sixties theme. Tie Dye shirts. Peace symbols and a painted bus.

It would never work.
