It Can't be any Worse Than What the Cocktail Waitresses Wear at Treasure Island

Ivan Kohut on Radegast's new server uniforms that are replacing the old Czech ones:

“Entering the summer they are going to be wearing a black cotton top with a red skirt. We brought in professionals from Czechoslovakia to design something different—a compromise between what the uniform once was and what it is now. We’ll debut it in about four weeks.”

Bringing them from Czechoslovakia? With what, a time machine? Wonder who slipped up here, the Czech national or, uh, TONY. Tough guess.

To be fair, drindls, or the tops at least, served a purpose back in the day. Where else would you expect a busty woman to balance four beers in each hand than on her chest?

Attack of the 50-Foot Woman

So there was this gigantic frontage at the Flamingo in Las Vegas, where I stayed, and the entire time I was there I kept wondering: where on Toni Braxton is my room? I was on the twentieth floor, so the odds were pretty good for a nostril. Any lower down... well, let's not go there.

Also, Toni Braxton looks like she's short even when they put her on the side of the building.

PCD to the Nth Degree

Say what you will about the marketing juggernaut/cash grab that is the Pussycat Dolls, the ladies can do it all: singing, dancing in cages, and even operating the roulette, blackjack, and poker tables at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.

I'm proud of many things in this country, but that a woman wearing a bustier, fishnets, and a pink silk corset laced up the sides with a matching pink silk captain's hat can take my hard earned money from me with the spin of a wheel is quite high on my list. It's pretty ingenious, actually.

Trump Water (Closet)

Before I toured the new Trump International Hotel & Tower here in Las Vegas, I made a quick pit stop in their public bathrooms, and I must say, impressive! Marble and gold and private stalls show it's on par with a Ritz-Carlton or a Four Seasons, which is what they are aiming for, I think. Sure, they meant in terms of a general experience, but sometimes it's better to zero in on one thing.

So what really impressed me? The flush system, which worked as both a manual AND an automatic. The Donald truly has the magic touch and must know what he likes in a bathroom.

Also the chairs in the executive boardroom are made of crocodile leather. It says "sensual", but also, "we will eat you."  Yuge.
