GOOD FATHER WAYNE NEWTON IN SERIOUS FINANCIAL TROUBLE -Broadway To Vegas column - February 21, 2010

http://www.broadwaytovegas.com/February21,2010.html
Wayne Newton has an awful track record of paying his bills. He completely deserves the consequences.. However, give him credit for being one of the best show business fathers that ever lived. He's been a star since he was a kid and he could have grown into the everybody-should-pay-attention-to-me-father, but he didn't. Other celebrities use their family, including trying to extract sympathy and understanding when
any member has a tragedy. Wayne has always put fatherhood ahead of his career and he's never used his family to try to gain favor or sympathy from the public. He doesn't jump in front television cameras to whine about his problems. What happened to his daughter in childbirth had nothing to do with Wayne's parenting skills. God bless him and Erin.

My friends in London just saw her in A Midsummer Night's Dream and they haven't stopped raving about her.
More attention should be paid to her in America.

I stumbled upon this display by accident and am so glad I did. While the shopping mall is wonderful with quality shops, there should have been more signs ,so that people walking outside could be informed that this exhibition was inside the mall. And, signs inside the stores informing people of the display would have been helpful.

CHINESE NEW YEAR IMPORTANT TO LAS VEGAS - Broadway To Vegas column - February 14. 2010

http://www.broadwaytovegas.com/February14,2010.html




For the first time I visited Las Vegas for Chinese New Year and I was so surprised. I always thought the only place to be is San Francisco. We stayed at the Bellagio and also visited other hotels on the Strip and even went to the Las Vegas China Town, which isn't nearly as grand as San Francisco, but nothing is better than San Francisco. We had a wonderful time in Las Vegas and enjoyed the dances and events and special foods. If you can't be in San Francisco, then I would recommend people visit Las Vegas during Chinese New Years

POLE DANCING VS CURLING AS OLYMPIC EVENT - Broadway To Vegas column - February 7, 2010

Are people kidding when they accept curling as an Olympic sport but protest when people sign petitions to get pole dancing into the Olympics? A good pole dancer is a great athlete. A good curler is a good curler.

BARACK OBAMA IS BETTER THAN ELVIS PRESLEY - See Broadway To Vegas column - February 21, 2010

http://www.broadwaytovegas.com/February21,2010.html



I'd stand in line for hours to see President Obama before I'd pay to see Viva Elvis.
Elvis was never a Bono. When he was alive what did Elvis ever do for others? Was he ever out there helping the less fortunate? President Obama is trying to fix things. He's up against people who want everything and then blame others when they can't pay for what they shouldn't have had in the first place. The doctors are afraid that if there is health care for everybody, their high incomes will drop.
