“Cathouse” Kerry Makes A Statement
The billboard on I-215 (and this ‘zine ad for Simon Poolside at the Palms Hotel) says: “Food That Makes A Statement.” Which begs the question: About what?
> Pink, cotton-candy hair?
> Himbos?
> Un-nutritious (sic) arm candy?
> Bimbos?
> Himbos and bimbos love lounging whilst leering at latissimous dorsi?
To answer his own question, Eating Las Vegas thinks this absurd ad campaign makes the following statement(s):
> “Drinking mandatory. Eating optional.”
> “We are the epicenter of the www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com universe!”
> “Anorexics love us!”
> “Lounge-lizard lotharios languish leeringly here.”
> “We feed malnourished models.”
> “This hair may be edible…and she certainly is.”
> “It’s more important that you feel uber-cool than think about anything you might actually eat.”
And if you think this is being a bit tough on the lanquidly-locked one — who ELV considers a nice guy and one of the most talented chefs in America — but one who has been wasting that talent for almost ten years — listen to this.
Restaurant reviews, quips, picks and pans-with some seriously salivating history-from the man who eats his way through Sin City every day.

Not sure of what the message is supposed to mean. I’ve seen this ad in Vegas magazine and many other places. Sure, sex sells, but I am somewhat bothered by the image of half-dressed teens in conjunction with my tuna tartare. I am one of those strong believers that restaurants should probably somehow feature their food in their promotional materials. Just a thought…

The message is loud and clear – “SELL THE SIZZLE, NOT THE STEAK”!!! The chefs ego and hipe are way bigger. Congrads for getting on the list of top bad restaurants to eat at.
