read this in my vegas newsletter today:

Aside from what you know, (read the replies below) it has now been confirmed
that the scene where Matt Dusk is singing at Ferraro's was also staged. It was
reported that Dusk never sang there before the taping of the show and never
sang there again after the taping was finished. Dusk is no longer performing at
the Golden Nugget due to continued performance disagreements with management.
I don't blame him.

FOX "casting" for Mark Burnett's upcoming 'The Casino' series

By Steve Rogers, 01/28/2004

FOX & Mark Burnett Productions are seeking "outgoing personalities who love to gamble" for their new upcoming The Casino reality show. Of particular interest to the producers are people who are gambling for a specific purpose or who have a specific and compelling reason for coming to Vegas. If you have a larger than life personality and money to gamble to make your dreams come true in Vegas, they want you. People who are chosen are flown to Vegas for a dream vacation. Airfare & Accommodations at The Golden Nugget are provided by the show.

To be considered for The Casino please send the following items:

A) Clearly handwritten or typed application form (below), including Agreement and Release form

B) 3 to 5 minute videotape (as defined below) labeled clearly with your name.

Length of Tape: 3 to 5 minutes, depending on what you want to tell the producers.

Tape Format: Only VHS (no VHS-C, 8mm or mini-DVs). You may transfer the other formats to VHS by connecting your video camera to your VCR and recording.

What to Say: Who you are and why you would want to come to Las Vegas. Do you like gambling? Show the producers; don’t tell them who you are.

Tape Deadline: January 31, 2004, but the earliest submissions will get first priority.

The videotape will become the property of the producers and will not be returned to you, regardless of whether or not you are selected as a guest.

Send your completed application and videotape (with no other enclosed items) to:

The Casino
1661 N Lincoln Blvd #200
Santa Monica, CA 90404

Dammit, why wasn't this sent to me!

I could have been on the show pretending to be banging hot chicks who can't find their purses.

Dusk has a new CD out. I actually like his singing. Just his association with this show has to go:

This was the first episode I saw "live" (nothing else was on, so it was playing in the background for me), and this show is dull.

Then again, I was watching "American Casino" this past weekend, and didn't find it all that interesting either.

I think I've about had my fill of Vegas/Casino-related shows for now.

I've given up my interest on this show. Tonight was the first episode I missed, and I certainly wasn't too upset about it.

You missed a pretty hot chick, but that's about it.

Man that was really bad last night. They basically don't even care how staged it looks.

I really like American Casino.

I can't believe how staged this show looks. I only switched over for a few minutes and it was blatantly obvious. It's just too paintful to watch.

Man this show is baad... Come on "I'm going to live here in Vegas... do you guys have any openings?"

- Look here's a pimp
- Oh my the new girl just happens to be sitting next to the pimp at the same blackjack table (oh my... what will happen)


The girls are hot - they should show more of them.

And the poor dealer boy's subplot was so agonizingly sad. It was like the same plot as "The Last American Virgin".

So...you hate the show, but you are willing to watch it if they show more T&A? Thank you for contributing to downfall of network television.

I think it was the promise of those advisory on mature content that Fox kept repeating during the episode...
