Description
Watch The Restaurant or The Apprentice's business drama. Mix the Las Vegas glamour with the glamour and there's The Casino, which Fox hopes will be its next reality hit (without a cowardly British judge or plastic surgery).
Starting tonight, reality television mogul Mark Burnett (the man behind the show above, and of course, the survivor) and his team join co-producers Jamie Bruce and Conrad Riggs and director producer Kevin Harris to open the doors of the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas, right next to the Fremont Street Experience, to show what happens when a few internet millionaires decide to gamble in New City.
"Casino" follows Tim Foster and Tom Breitling in 13 episodes, who founded Travelscape.com and then sold it to Expedia to collect millions of dollars, and acquired it with their sister property in Loplin, Nev., when they acquired Nugget. Their dream is to recreate the classic Vegas experience.
"It's more like an oasis in the middle of town," Bruce says of the Golden Nugget. "It's a very luxurious hotel, but it's a gaming area beyond a casino. There is no shopping mall. This is a real gambling place. Tim and Tom are upgrading the place. They want to be a force to bring the city to life." 동행복권파워볼
24-7 Open, Nuggets with about 3,000 employees is a world in itself, but unlike The Restaurant, employees and owners don't offer all the drama.
"The drama is in the guests, it's in the casino," Bruce said. "Some of the people on television have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars on their own money."
"In the beginning of the show, I was very worried. I was saying, 'I want our guests to come and get into it.' I quickly realized. A, people who come to Las Vegas want to have fun, and B, people want to be on TV. The combination of the two is explosive."
