I'm not making this up. I was alerted to an upcoming event at the Riverside Casino by a reader:
Saigon Entertainment presents a Thanksgiving Celebration - Wednesday, November 22
From the other side of the globe, this ensemble of individual Vietnamese musicial artists will wow audiences with their singing talents. The musical stylings range from pop to the classics. Don't miss this opportunity to get a taste of Vietnamese culture in Iowa!
Tickets are available online here now. Also, tickets are available in the Riverside Casino & Golf Resort Gift Shop. Tickets are general admission and are only $22 plus tax and $5 online fee. The online fee is waived if the tickets are purchased at the Gift Shop.
They're also bringing in Kenny Loggins on December 16th to sing Christmas songs for $48 to $53 a head. That should fill up any phone booth.
Meanwhile, the reader mentions:
My wife & I went down there from I.C. a few weeks ago to see Dave Zollo in the lounge- collectively, the 8 people there to hear Dave almost equalled the total number of people there gambling (on 25 cent slots, a BIG moneymaker, I'm sure). I think the customer-to-employee ratio was about 12:1. 2 Coronas cost us $7.50, and my wife's soup was so bad she sent it back. It would take a lot to get us to go again.
Who's Dave Zollo? Oh, this Dave Zollo. He was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno a few months ago.
Jay Leno, as you might recall, had a number of empty $120 seats when he performed at the casino in September.
