Grammy Award-winning vocalist Steve Tyrell will return to the Golden Nugget Las Vegas for two limited engagements April 13-16 and April 20-24 in the Gordie Brown Showroom.

Known for bringing the standards from the Great American Songbook to life, the jazz vocalist will perform at 8 p.m. nightly as part of his 2010 performance schedule.

“We’re thrilled to have such an amazing vocalist return to the Golden Nugget for 2010,” said Justin McVay, Golden Nugget public relations manager. “We’re
confident Steve Tyrell will be as well received this spring as he was in 2009. He’s one of the best.”

Tyrell last performed at the Golden Nugget as part of his 2009 performance schedule in June, where he performed to sold-out crowds and received rave reviews by critics and audience members alike.

With his breakthrough performances in “Father of the Bride” and “Father of the Bride II,” Tyrell reinvented and re-popularized classic pop standards for a modern-day audience.  He recently produced Rod Stewart’s “Soulbook,” released in October 2009, and sang “New York Is Where I Live,” written by 15-year-old Clyde Lawrence, in the December 2009 motion picture “Did You Hear About the Morgans.”

In September 2009, his voice was also featured over the end title of Steven Soderbergh’s film “The Informant,” singing a new song written by Academy Award Winners Alan and Marylin Bergman along with Marvin Hamlisch.  Tyrell has produced hits for artists ranging from Linda Rondstadt to Grammy-winner Rod Stewart  (“Stardust…Vol. 3”, “Thanks for the Memories… Vol. 4) and has collaborated with numerous other artists like Ray Charles, Aaron Neville, LL Cool J, Blood Sweat and Tears, Dolly Parton, Bonnie Raitt, Burt Bacharach, Bette Midler, and Stevie Wonder, just to name a few.

Tyrell has also sold hundreds of thousands of albums and gained a passionate following all over the world with his hits like “The Way You Look Tonight,” “A Kiss To Build A Dream On” and “The Sunny Side of The Street.”

“Steve has worked with some of the biggest-named performers of the Twentieth Century, and we’re very excited to have him appearing again in our venue,” said McVay.

Show tickets start at just $29.95 plus applicable taxes and fees and are on sale now. Special VIP tickets are available for $79.95 and include a meet & greet with the artist. Tickets may be purchased in person at the Golden Nugget Ticket Office, over the phone at 866-9-GOLDEN (866-946-5336) or online at www.goldennugget.com.

Gordie Brown Live! will be dark April 3, as well as April 9-28.

Country of Estonia Makes Move to Legalize Online Gambling

Posted by: admin  //  Category: Betting, CA, CES, California, Casino, Casinos, Easter, Entertainment, Gambling, Inter, NFL, News, Object, Online, Online Casino, Online Casinos, Online Poker, Other, PLO, Poker, Poland, WAG, ads, article, b, belgium, book, country, d, economy, estonia, europe, eve, forum, france, gambling legalization, gaming, golden nugget, group, house, ing, international, italy, january, legal, legalization, olympic, online gambling, online gaming, players, playtech, power, recession, revenue, russia, s, spa, vegas, wedoitallvegas, world

Seeing the effects of the recent economic downturn, the small Baltic nation of Estonia is moving towards the legalization of online gambling to generate revenue from taxes. This would be the latest European nation to join Belgium, Sweden, Italy, Poland and Holland that have already legalized online gaming.

The legalization of online gambling in Estonia will allow nationals to wager online via domestic-based platforms like Playtech. This online casino company has already signed a merger with European-based Olympic Entertainment Group to set up shop in Estonia.

“We are truly glad of this opportunity to start our partnership with Olympic as the leading casino entertainment provider in Central and Eastern Europe,” said Mor Weizer, CEO of Playtech.

Aside from online casinos, online poker will also be available for residents to legally play and by the year 2011, the country will allow additional international companies to set up from within the country as long as they meet the nation’s requirements.

A once-economic powerhouse, Estonia has been hit hard be the recent world-wide economic recession. The government is now hopeful that the legalization of online gambling will boost the plummeting economy in an effective manner.

Las Vegas Hotel Mogul Steve Wynn Revealed as Buyer of $33 Million Rembrandt Piece

Posted by: admin  //  Category: 2 Million, Betting, CA, Casino, Dev, Encore, Hotels, Las Vegas, Las Vegas Real Estate, News, Object, Other, PLO, Poker Tips, Real Estate, SEC, UB, Wynn, YES, ads, article, auction, australia, b, book, career, d, days, dealer, family, forum, free night, gold, golden nugget, group, hot, hotel, impression, ing, las vegas hotel, london, mirage, mirage-hotel, modern, new, night, offer, people, phone, portrait, power, press, properties, rembrandt, s, spa, steve wynn, the mirage, the wynn, time, treasure island, update, vegas, vegas hotels, wedoitallvegas, work, wynn las vegas

It was about two weeks ago that the Rembrandt painting “Portrait of a Man, Half-Length, With His Arms Akimbo” from 1658 sold for a record $33.2 million at Christie’s in London and now the identity of the once-anonymous bidder is reported to be Las Vegas Hotel and Casino mogul Steve Wynn.

The Rembrandt portrait received a single bid the day of the auction, an anonymous telephone bidder for the amount of $33.2 million including fees to Christie’s. It turns out that the Las Vegas real estate developer made the call from his bathroom at 2:00 a.m. and became the new owner of the Rembrandt painting.

This purchase by Wynn exceeds another Rembrandt purchase from 2003, for which he paid $11.3 million. Wynn stated that he was going to add this painting to his collection because he wanted “people to see Rembrandt in relation to the Impressionists, post-Impressionists and early Modernists”

The Rembrandt painting hadn’t been seen in public in over 40 years, belonging to an heir of the Johnson & Johnson fortune during this time. The painting was first shown publicly in 1847, then sold at Sotheby’s in 1930 for around $89,000.

Steve Wynn is one of the most high-profile bidders at auctions these days with works from Rubens, Picasso Vermeer, Cézanne and others in his collection. During his career, Wynn has refurbished or built some of the most iconic properties in Las Vegas including the Golden Nugget, Treasure Island, Wynn, Encore and The Mirage.
