March 30, 2004 Cruising The Strip & Finding What's Hip What's On Las Vegas Guide

What's up, or on, at the Golden Nugget? Since Tom Breitling, and Tim Poster have taken hold of the property as the new owners late last year, Amazing Johnathan has been tossed out on his bloody ear after only a month, and he's yelling foul. Tony Bennett and Jewel bounced in to play for the new owners of the downtown property immediately following Johnathan's early March outing. And reality guru Mark Burnett's TV crew hung out an extra week to films shots for "The Casino," a new reality show based on the young men's purchase of their very own gambling establishment. Now casino host Richard Wilk has garnered quite a coup by booking some of the cast from HBO's hit "The Sopranos" for a June 12 high-roller shindig at the hotel. So far James Gandolfini, Michael Imperioli, Tony Sirico, Drea de Mateo, Steve Schirripa, John Ventimiglia, and Vincent Curatola will attend. Watch for more to happen at Steve Wynn's former jewel-in-the-rough.
