June 14 / Episode One >
The Casino Realty TV Show
In this episode we immediately get
to meet Tim and Tom, the new owners of The Golden Nugget.
Right away you'll notice (at least in this episode) that Tim
does most of the talking. A good example is their "nerve
racking" hearing before the Nevada Gaming Commission
to get their gambling license. Tim seems to be the one in
the hot seat. Tim is asked many tough questions addressing
possible mob ties and business dealing with a certain
"Uncle". We as the viewer know they will be approved
for the license. None the less, it is interesting to see how
strict this commission appears and how it works.
Also in this episode we get the chance to
see just how far a group of good friends will go to see
their friend (who is a virgin) get hooked up in Vegas.
Annoying but funny.
We get a quick look at Andre Agassi
investing in his 25 year old friendship with Tim dropping
off a check for his piece of the the pie. How much? We don't
know - yet.
Tim and Tom hire a local Big Band singer,
Mark Dusk, who pretty much gets caught up in the politics
(and politicians) of his new job. He also gets a huge
helping of "the boss is always right". He is young,
attractive, and confident in his talent. We'll see what
happens here.
For the most part we don't see a lot of
gambling in this episode, except for Big Chuck. He is a card
counting professional. As a self proclaimed "high roller",
he is as annoying as he is tall (6'8" to be exact). This
"flagged" player tries to fly into the casino under the
radar, but is detected almost immediately and put under
surveillance as he throws his ego and money around. Alas, he
gets his just desserts when he takes one of the dozens of
women he flirts with up to his suite only to discover that
she is in fact a he.
Stay tuned to next weeks episode. We will
see what develops in this very entertaining and interesting
new reality show - The Casino
Reality Show
