Casino Entertainment
Jumpstarts the Season
Sept. 7-06
This season seems to be the season of
entertainment for casinos across the country. Michigan, for
example, is hosting a great deal of entertaining events in their
casinos this fall. Everything from TV personality and nostalgic
concerts will be on the Marquee this month.
Mount Pleasant casino will employ
entertainers like Dionne Warwick who will headline as an incentive
top bring in patrons to the gambling facilities. Dionne will be
singing the songs of But Bacharach that she ha made popular over
the years. The Mount Pleasant will also feature comics among their
list of events
The idea of booking talent for casinos
is far from new. This practice has been common since the hay days
of the Las Vegas strip. Gambling and a floor show were at one time
synonymous.
Among California casinos there is the
trend of booking rock bands to appeal to a younger crowd. The
Coachella music festival has come to exclusively use casinos for
their various music venues.
This entertainment is promoted by
major casino for one reason. It is a mutual form of marketing.
Artist, magicians, and comedians bring heads in the door, and the
casino provides a venue for them to promote themselves. This year
the trend of entertainment seems to be returning to the glory that
it once was.
The difference between the casinos of
yester year and those of today, is the competition. Online casinos
have made it convenient for poker lovers to attain their gambling
fix in the comfort of their own home. The land based casinos have
to keep up and maintain drawing power.
The increase in the number of
entertainers invited to casinos across the country gives these
long established casinos an edge over their online counterparts.
Perhaps major headliners will begin to
play casino clubs outside of Vegas in the same fashion that was
popular among musicians in the 50's. The advent of a casino
circuit wouldn't be a far fetched idea for the newly revived
interest in the casino market.
