Any Ideas?
So, Monday night was a bust at work. I got there at 5 p.m. Hung out and talked to my co-workers til about 7 p.m. Not one person walked through the door. Boss man sent two of us home. I was more than happy to volunteer because after standing around for 2 hours with my thumb stuck up my ass, I decided I couldn't take another minute. Honestly, after two hours, I would have been annoyed if someone came in. My energy was zapped and I had no desire to wait on anyone. Not a good attitude to have, but oh well.
So, me and the food runner are both determined to blow this popsickle stand. We are both out there looking for new jobs. He turned me into an ad on craigslist for a new sushi restaurant opening at the Monte Carlo. They are interviewing people next week and I plan to be there bright and early Monday morning. They start interviwing at 10 a.m. and that's when I'll be there.
The Hard Rock position is still looming too. I'm trying to find out in writing when they are having the job fair. I heard something through the grapevine, but I'd like to know for sure when they are hiring.
Today I met the parental units over at the Venetian so that we could watch the Wheel of Fortune. It was fun. We waited in line but it wasn't for very long. We had floor seats - 11 back from the stage and I have no idea if we'll be on T.V., but you never know. They were actually showing 5 shows, but we only stayed for the 1st one. Pat and Vanna were both looking fabulous. They haven't aged a bit.
Does anyone remember back in the day when the contestant won a puzzle and then he/she spent the money they won on prizes. They would show them a room full of stuff for the house and trips and then the person would buy their prizes instead of taking home cash. It was kinda neat. My mom thought I was high when I told her about it. She didn't remember that at all. My dad remembered though, so he backed me up and proved that I wasn't crazy. She's the one that's going senile I think. ha ha Kidding!
And, that's about it. Final L.A. preparations are taking place. We are all set for our trip except we haven't picked a hotel yet. We are thinking that Burbank is the place for us to stay. Now, I'm just trying to find one that's nice and not too expensive. Any ideas??

I remember when they gave you money and you spent on various theme prize rooms. Most hoped to get enough to buy a trip somewhere exotic and not get stuck with a pair of crappy lamps and a 4 foot tall ceramic dog. During that time, it was a daytime game show and not yet the cultural phenomenon that it is now. It was probably forced into early evening syndication when the talk shows took over daytime. Best move for "The Wheel" ever. They replaced Bob Barker on the Price is Right, I wonder who might be good fits for Pat and Vanna in the future. That show has to have been on for over 30 years now.

I remember that about WoF. You can catch those re-runs on Game Show Network.
Good luck with the job search!

I so remember when Wheel of Fortune used to have the contestants take the money they won and buy the items they wanted! I so remember that. I remember one day when looking and the "newer" version of the show and thinking, "Man they have changed the format! What happened to the room full of stuff?" lol

I remember that too. In fact, I haven't watched in a long time & didn't know they stopped doing that.
Hope the job search goes well.

There's a lot of hotel price comparison sites - travelzoo.com, kayak.com, hotelscombined.com, booking.com, travelnow.com. They compare prices from all the major sites (expedia, orbitz, etc) and show you the best deal.

It does sound like it's time to leave that sinking ship. Sad that restaurants in Vegas are struggling!!
Good luck!
