OK, the show has been off for about 4-5 months now but I am still ticked off that I was sucked into this lame show. I guess I had a soft spot for "Vegas" based shows since I am a huge fan of American Casino. I just *assumed* that The Casino would be of the same high caliber as AC. Boy, I was so wrong. From the moment the viewer is introduced to this wreck, you have an uneasy feeling. You just get a feeling that this is NOT going to be pretty. You watch one episode with hopes that the next one will finally show some redeeming qualities about The Golden Nugget and all the colorful characters. Once again, you are let down and all you see is a horribly scripted show with bad acting, scummy people and a soft-core porn undertone to it.
First of all, if Poster and Breitling are smart enough to be internet gurus, they should have been smart enough to get a better reality show deal. I am assuming that neither guy did any research on Burnett and his shows. Yes, he has had lots of success BUT he has also had a HUGE failure with Mr Rocco DiSpirito. The first thing that Poster and Breitling should have done was make sure that they had COMPLETE CONTROL over what was shown. Due to MB's use of scripts, bad actors and soft-core porn undertones, the show made The Nugget look sleazy and low class. Also, add the fact that Poster and Breitling need to learn that in order to bring The Nugget back to its rat-pack day, the use of Trashy Lingerie and Bikini Bowling does not help them achieve it.
