Casinos concerts. The Seattle-Tacoma area may not be as glitzy as Las Vegas or cater to Mafia members like Atlantic City, but there are a few casinos worth checking out when the itch to play some penny slots becomes too overwhelming to bear and you want to get your grub on at a decent buffet. One selling point of these local casinos is the exceptional talent they pull in. HUGE names, like REO Speedwagon and Merle Haggard, are slated to headline one such establishment called the Emerald Queen in the next few months, and lucky for me this hub of hedonism is a mere twenty minutes away. Sure, Jason, as a fancypants actor you can afford to just jump in your car anytime and head down to Sin City to get your groove on to A-list entertainers like Donny & Marie or Barbara Mandrel, but does Ceasar's Palace showcase a cavalcade of Cambodian stars every Sunday night? I bet not. Only in Tacoma, fine sir. And on Monday, if we aren't too exhausted from all that partying the night before, we can rock out to the Stars of Vietnam. I know, it's almost too good to be true. One of my dearest friends in the world happens to be shacking up with a higher-up at the EQC (as it's know to locals) and can almost guarantee us tickets to any show we want. Yes, both of us can afford to simply buy the tickets, but in my experience almost everything is better when it is gratis - the exception being STD's. If we play our cards right (sorry, couldn't avoid the gambling pun), we may even get a 2-for-1 coupon to the seafood buffet. So, pencil in a date with me and the Emerald Queen on your packed calendar, Jason. MC Hammer is gonna' tear the place up on June 26 and we are both too legit to quit such an opportunity.
