Only in Vegas

As I mentioned here some time ago, the Imperial Palace hotel in Las Vegas is trying something new. In one section of the casino at specified hours, they have Blackjack dealers who are also celebrity impersonators. You can have your money taken from you by Elvis, Madonna or even a Blues Brother. They call them "dealertainers."

Here's an article about this. The thing I think is especially funny is that one of the dealers is playing Ray Charles. It's humiliating enough to be wiped out at the tables. But to be beaten by a blind guy–?

Many hotels also offer a line of slot machines that feature the real Ray Charles and his voice. As I mentioned in that piece, you kinda hope that when it takes your last coin, the machine doesn't start singing, "Hit the road, Jack."
