We're in a recession, right? The Vanity Affair doesn't care. For $100,000, you get the bottle (Dom Pérignon White Gold Jeroboam) and, most importantly, you get the trip: a three-night stay for 12 at the $11 million Casa Cielo, the Cabo San Lucas home of Colorado Rockies first baseman and Vanity co-owner Jason Giambi. The 20,000-square-foot home boasts nine bedrooms, two pools, a movie theater, gym, personal chaperone and staff of three to cook and clean.
You may have seen the Hard Rock Hotel's director of nightlife operations before — just not perhaps in the most flattering light. New York native Matt Minichino was portrayed as the irascible pool manager in truTV's reality series "Rehab: Party at the Hard Rock Hotel." And although he admits to being a very on-the-move, intense presence, sitting across from me in Vanity nightclub, he comes across as a genuinely nice guy. Really.
"Coming to work is fun for me," he said. "I sat down the other day and I laughed because it was my year anniversary at the Hard Rock, and I thought about it, and I took three days off all year."
One of those days, he says, was for his brother's wedding, which occurred over Memorial Day weekend. Had it been someone else, Minichino says he probably would have skipped it to man the ship at Rehab during the first big holiday of the pool season. This year, he's looking forward to maintaining the status of the longest-running pool party in the city by bringing in guest DJs and live performances, and helping the hotel throw what he calls "the 24-hour party."
"You can go to the nightclub, you can go to the after-hours club (beginning, he estimates, in late May), you can go to the pool party — we have so many wonderful entities inside this property, why would you want to leave?"

Matt is useless at Rehab! He thinks HE is the sole reason why Rehab had the best year ever, but it obviously gained popularity after the TV show was made popular! I personally know people who flocked to the hotel pool party just to try and be on tv. I can't believe the upper management at the Hard Rock is dumb enough to believe that a verbally abusive ego-maniacal AS$HOLE with short man's syndrome is actually responsible for anything other than a high turn over rate! Oh...and I hope Matt reads this and all his other hate mail on the internet...and on more thing..... SHARON ROCKS! :)
Well, I watched the 1st rehab if the 2nd season. Does Matt realize that he is around for ratings? It makes the show interesting. In the real world that guy would have had his ass handed to him. His is a little man with a small mind and has no clue how to deal with people on a managerial level. He is a joke. The girls have no reason to be afraid of him. My god he has to stand on a chair just to look them in the eye so he can berate them. Small man in what he thinks is a big job. You are a glorified cabana boy! LOL Seriously those kids you cater to most likely can buy and sell you 100 times over. The girls you yell at make more tips the skim than your annual salary. Sharon has more class in the corn in her crap than you have in your entire b personality. You make me laugh that you thin setting up chairs at a pool or a menu in the correct place is an actual job! A nut less Monkey can do your job! Please remember that the next time you try to make yourself feel better about being picked on in high school by yelling at a waitress. I feel sorry for the people who take you seriously but laugh at your actions. The new guy that fired the employee he use to work with. He did the right think and I bet you had t get rid of hi now.
I love watching you and your idiotic way of dealing with people. I have actually put ya video of your from the show in my companies HR video on what NOT to do. So I owe you a thank you. I have a feeling you were beat up as a child and dumped by every girl you dated so you get what you give out. It has to be ratings why you still have a job, No one is actually dumb enough to hire you for something with actual responsible. Well, I did see a Cabana pillow out of place, you better yell at someoen about it! LOL GFY!
uh hu. big man. a glorified bar manager. at a pool party. at a casino. whoo hoo!
