He was the funniest thing about one of cable’s most underrated shows, Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist; he was voted one of the hundred funniest comedians of all time by Comedy Central; he’s got two CableACE Awards; he’s appeared on pretty much every major talk show as well as on the Holy Grail of sitcoms, Seinfeld.
But hey, forget about it. Dom Irrera, who’s headlining the Playboy Comedy Club this week, holds a special place in my heart for a very singular reason: He got the honor of driving around a very loaded, White Russian-toting Dude as the limo driver in The Big Lebowski (you know, the guy who says: “I got a rash so bad on my ass I can’t even sit down! But you know me; I can’t complain!”). Guy has earned his pop-culture props as far as I’m concerned.
Palms Casino Resort has come a long way since its "Real World" debut in 2002. The boutique property features three distinct towers and a diverse mix of bars and restaurants across a 95,000-square-foot casino.
Palms, which features more than 1,200 rooms and fantasy suites, is currently undergoing a multi-million dollar transformation that will encompass an Ivory Tower room and suite redesign, new culinary additions, re-imagined gaming spaces and new, distinctive nightlife experiences.
In addition to newly designed rooms, during the first phase of the renovation, Palms will welcome Heraea, a high-energy American restaurant and lounge, and XISHI, a pan-Asian restaurant and lounge.
Fantasy Suites include the Hardwood Suite, the only hotel room in the world with its own basketball court.
Other amenities include the all-new Cantor Gaming® race and sports book, one of the few sports books in Las Vegas to include a poker room; SOCIAL; Scarlet; Chocolat Bistro; tonic bar; ghostbar; Pearl Concert Theater; Moon Nightclub; N9NE Steakhouse; Nove Italiano; Simon Restaurant & Lounge; Palms Pool & Bungalows; Kim Vō Salon; Drift Spa & Hammam; Brenden Theatres, a 14-theatre cineplex and more than 60,000 square-feet of meeting space.
