I agree about ‘the location’ ! Shouldn’t this go where Rainforest Cafe used to be (aka close to the Pedestrian Bridge Entrance where foot traffic goes right to it?) ????

My only question, will they have Kids Meals with Purity Rings? ????
Ok, no joke – I prefer Restaurants to succeed and keep people employed vs darn it this Establishment is shutting down and more people are going to be out of work!

Any celebrity using their name for a restaurant or a whisky bottle is open for criticism, and they know it… Just listing their IMDB does not refute anything. A professional chef has better standing to lend their name to a restaurant than a singer, but that is also media driven and ends up costing the customer way more. If I want a name meal in Las Vegas, it’s Hugo…

The idea that the Brothers were concerned about diminishing royalty checks from their Disney days is pure fantasy. All one needs to do is check out the IMDB pages of Joe Jonas or Nick Jonas to see how asinine that claim is.

Of the three, Nick has the strongest resume: multiple solo albums, coaching on a season of The Voice, four months leading a Broadway show, and multiple TV/film appearances including 4 seasons as a main cast member of a cable series (“Kingdom”).

PS. That’s not “my truth.” It’s the real truth in black and white.

I have a very good idea of who made most of the fried chicken, biscuits, dumplings and gravy in the 1760s before South Carolina seceded from the Union, and I’m just guessing they didn’t look like pasty white pop singers. But I’ve seen crazier things floated in Vegas.

Going off strip, JP? What took you so long?

Vegas will always have a new generation that finds it so special to watch Monday Night Football in a casino with 500 other rubes, paying for a seat and $8 for a Bud Light at Circa’s sports book. What a fantastic, memorable experience.

But you raise a great point. Why would I spend hundreds of dollars on travel, lodging and food to watch football on a giant screen with a bunch of mouth breathers when I can wager on the game from home? Casino gambling isn’t everywhere, and neither is sports betting. But it has come a long way in 30 years. Where will it be in 30 more?

Nothing will equal the Vegas experience in terms of mass and volume, but will it matter if so many people get fed up with the negative experience, or the expectation that your dinner on the strip costs twice your hourly wage, and all you’re getting is chicken and potatoes?

Vegas still provides a lot of great value, but it keeps getting harder to find. This is a tired, played out complaint, but it persists. Where there’s smoke…..

And we’re still waiting for the full-scale return of the convention traffic, which we’re told over and over is an important component to the economy. Back when the economy went belly up around 2007, we had email and online technology to help foster communication in a way we hadn’t known 10 years earlier. Post-pandemic, the technology has made Zoom conferencing a way of life. Backroom deals aren’t likely to be made over Zoom, and you can’t assess the latest sex toy without holding it in your hands. As great as virtual pool tables are, they’re no replacement for the real deal when it comes to a tournament.

Vegas hotels, casinos, restaurants and their employees have less to go around than they did five years ago. They’d be wise to hold onto what they have, because it’s not easily replaceable any more.

As a fan or reality, I find that no two people agree upon what it is.

So they say crap like “my truth.”

What’s your truth, Jackson. What reality do you comport with? You didn’t explain it. Inquiring minds…

It’s not healthy to get so angry over something that will have zero affect on your life.

Regardless, your take on the Jonas Brothers doesn’t comport with reality.

We get it, you’re a big name in music, so why not make a few bucks off of that by slapping your name on a restaurant. It did wonders for Jimmy Buffet. The guy wrote one hit song in his career, a children’s ditty about cheeseburgers and a bunch of other lame “yacht rock,” which seems to be the preferred term for lame music, and parlayed it into a brand that old people eat up. Buffet hustles his crap, for sure, but he ain’t doing anything at his Margaritaville restaurants that nobody has done for. Fools be buying into his image. Well sold, Jimmy.

Toby Keith, yeah, there’s a guy I want to turn to when I want food and beer. Who better than a simple-minded moron to trust for my nourishment and refreshment. Great, Mr. Cheeseball Blake Shelton is getting into the act now that Toby is played out. Oh thank God!

Yeah, we get it, the poor bastard brother of Marky Mark and Mr. Jenny McCarthy didn’t make millions off of cheesy music and acting gigs. By all means, develop another burger chain based upon him, allegedly, the world is saved!

Now these Jonas clowns are trying to get in on the action. Pinch me.

If if ain’t a “celebrity” chef, it’s a musician whose biggest royalty checks are long gone. When is the buying public going to wake up and quit subsidizing these egomaniacs?
