Celebrity Burglar arrest made in Las Vegas

vegas metro 

A member of the "Burglar Bunch" was tracked to the Las Vegas home of Rachel Lee.

The Burglar Bunch is a group of young burglars - most in their late teens - who target young celebrities to the tune of $3 million. Lee is 18 years old.

Found inside her home was $20,000 in cash, a pair of actress Rachel Bilson's jeans, a hat of Lindsay Lohan, and partially nude photos of Paris Hilton.

Additional celebrity victims include Megan Fox, Orlando Bloom, Ashley Tisdale, Brian Austin Green, and Audrina Partridge.

Planet Hollywood offers 10 nights for $599

Planet Hollywood Planet Hollywood, which by the way is currently hurting for revenue as its lenders are now controlling the property, is selling a new kind of hotel offer for their 2,500+ rooms.

Purchase the Phanatic Pass for $599, and you'll get 10 nights, but those nights do not have to be consecutive or used all at once You can use any number of them anytime between now and March 15, 2010.

Even better, there are no blackout dates, so you can book for weekends such as New Year's Eve and the Super Bowl. Try finding a room on the Las Vegas Strip for less than $200, not to mention $60 that the average rate comes to. By New Year's, PH's across-the-street-neighbor CityCenter will be open, competing for the same customers.

The Phanatic Pass also comes with one free bottle of liquor of your choice.

The hotel-casino is counting on the upfront payment but also that you probably won't actually use all 10 nights.

Planet Hollywood's debt of $870 million was paid down by Harrah's, and it's rumored that Harrah's is interested in taking over the property, which is right next to Harrah's-owned casinos Bally's and Paris.

Dejà Vu: Stripper Truck

Dejà Vu 

Dejà Vu gentlemen's club in Las Vegas decided to remain a good neighbor and park the Stripper Mobile. Instead of cruising up and down the Las Vegas strip the see-through truck now sits in front of the club on Industrial Blvd behind the Trump Tower. Instead of one of their voluptuous dancers hanging onto the pole we found a skeleton wearing a bikini (maybe it was a very skinny dancer).

All of the attention surrounding this marketing ploy has the County Commission debating the removal of the sign trucks that plow the strip nightly with their promises of hot babes delivered direct to your hotel room. We liked the truck with the live pole dancer and we hate the sign trucks that create traffic jams and block the views of the billion dollar resorts.

Fontainebleau on auction

Fontainebleau

Want to buy a multi-billion-dollar casino for cheap?

Keep in mind you will most likely need to spend another couple billion in order to finish building.

The casino on the auction block is the $3 billion, 4,000-room Fontainebleau, and the first bid was placed by Penn National Gaming, which has been trying for years to enter the Las Vegas market. Two years ago, Penn made a failed bid for Harrah's.

Penn offered $50 million with a promise to fork out another $1.46 billion to see it through. Already $2 billion has been spent on the bankrupt project.

The deadline for bids is Jan. 15, 2010.

Assuming that Penn gets the bid, construction wouldn't begin until the following year.

I’m In Poker News Shutdown For WSOP

I’m not visiting any poker news sites, no twitters, no ESPN, no Face Book and no poker or poker podcasts. I do not want to be spoiled for the main event of WSOP. I know that they played down to the finial two this weekend but I do not want to know anything, I’m waiting to watch it on ESPN. I still have 11 hours of WSOP to watch on my DVR before Tuesday and if I do not finish by then my shutdown stays in effect. Other news my laptop is dead, on Saturday night was getting ready (you can tell I’m from the south) to write Big Joker back on Skype and the laptop turned it self off and that was it…  I hope all you “Poker Degenerates” are doing you best to bust them donkeys.

Full Tilt Poker Releases New Software - Run It Twice

run twice

Online poker room Full Tilt has released two new features in its latest software update - Run It Twice and Cashout Tournaments.

The Run It Twice feature allows ring game players the option of seeing two outcomes for one hand, providing both players consent to it. The feature can be enabled when one or both of the remaining two players are all in: the remaining community cards are dealt twice, meaning the winner of each of the two outcomes wins half of the prize pool.
