Gambling with Manilow
Vegas. The place where we all take chances. We feed slot machines with coins hoping to get lucky. And this week the fans will be back gambling with Manilow, hoping to win! And in my estimation it's a pretty sure bet.
If you gamble with Manilow you're sure to "win" a few things:
Tons of fun
Boatloads of emotions
Mountains of memories...and last but not least...
Immeasureable joy
If you've been a fan for very long you know that he's the real deal. He delivers what he promises and he gives 100 percent every time he walks out on that stage. From power ballads, to uptempo renditions of his classics, to amazing piano duels, that 90 minutes of Manilow is worth every penny and more. There's not a bad seat in the house. And if you walk into that theater down or depressed, or even just needing a little boost of hope, you'll always leave feeling better than you did when you came in.
I'll take those odds any day of the week! Texas Fan
BTW I don't know about you but I sure do miss those Manilow slot machines at the Hilton. I wish they would bring them back. They were TONS of fun!
The ones who don't "need" the money always win it seems. Plus..heaven forbid a casino actually keep a machine on the floor that pays off. They need to bring it back as a penny slot. I bet they could make a FORTUNE on it if they did. I'd gamble with Manilow :)

I miss those slot machines too. Someone told me (I think it was Vikki) that they took them out because Garry kept hitting the jackpot LOL.
