It's been three years since "That Ain't Right" debuted on HBO. Are you actively working toward a new comedy special?
Yes I am. A lot of the material feels like it's kind of cleaned itself up a bit. A few less expletives. Don Rickles came over to me once, grabbed me by the ear, hugged me and said, "I watched your special. It was wonderful, but you left out two [F-bombs]." I'm telling more stories, and I do about a half-hour of music.
Next year will mark the end of "Entourage." How would you like to see the show go out?
I'm proud to be a part of something that does represent show business. It's a lot of wannabes and a lot of people who have success but don't have a lot of empathy for other people. What's so interesting about the show is they call everybody out on that. I don't know how you outdo what they've done. I know it's supposedly the last season, but there's also talk of a movie. But I'm like the family dog over there; I never know what's going on.
As a guy who hosted "America's Funniest Home Videos" for eight years, what types of Internet videos actually make you laugh?
Daniel Tosh does a show [Comedy Central's "Tosh.0"] very much like the original show. He's a funny guy, very charming with what he's doing and how he's doing it. And Tom Bergeron does a nice job with the old video show, which I still can't believe has the legs it's had. It just won't go away, which is a good thing. Now it's a new generation filming grandma falling off the riding mower. Get that on tape at home, send it to YouTube and you'll wind up on television. It's a much lower-overhead way of doing it than we used to. Just download your grandma's foibles.
True to its namesake, The Orleans gives visitors a year-round Mardi Gras feeling with a New Orleans French Quarter environment.
Located just a short way from the center of gambling on the Strip, The Orleans offers a collection of attractions that helps to draw in a mix of locals and visitors.
In addition to the 1,885 hotel rooms and 134,000-square foot casino, the property has a 70-lane bowling center, an 18-screen movie theater, an 850-seat showroom and a 9,500-seat arena, home to the Las Vegas Wranglers hockey team.
The hotel also has 14 dining options, including Canal Street, The Prime Rib Loft, Koji Sushi Bar & China Bistro and Big Al’s Oyster Bar.
