The just-ended first (and final, we hope) season of The Real Housewives of New York City was the latest reality TV show to feature a hotelier and/or a behind-the-scenes look at a hotel.
But if you look at some of the other reality shows about hotels and how they work or who's running them you will see a not-so-startling pattern: reality shows featuring hoteliers and hotels suck.
That may be a harsh statement but let us now present the evidence: Casino, Party @ the Palms With Jenny McCarthy, Inn Love, Welcome to the Parker and Real Housewives of New York City.
It's no surprise that Jenny McCarthy hit up the Palms Casino Resort on a recent trip to Las Vegas considering that she once hosted an E! TV Show entirely about the place.
However, TMZ reports that McCarthy returned to the Palms this past weekend to serve as blackjack dealer for charity in the hotel's new Playboy Club.
Jenny became the first ever celebrity dealer, working the tables from 9:00 PM to midnight, much to the delight of several male gamblers -- who probably yelled "hit me!" with particular delight.
When her shift was up, Jenny retired her bunny costume and hit up Moon Nightclub, where she partied with friends at a VIP table right on the dance floor. Jenny then retired to a Sky Villa inside the Fantasy Tower of the Palms.
We're surprised Jenny didn't demand the Hugh Hefner suite with its rotating bed. But then again, we wouldn't want to sleep anywhere where Britney Spears has fornicated either.
· Vinnie, Matt, and Eddie created a cute little acronym for being drunk, 'ABU', which means "all banged up," and they like to chant it at each other amongst crowds. Now we remember why we will never move to Crooklyn.
· Dreams do come true. Tara from Minnesota trained hard and became and ass shaking go-go dancer for one night.
· Britney, the real go-go dancer, is very good at her job.
· Quote of the Night:
Oh there you go with the black thing again.

Tonight at 10 on E! "Party @ the Palms" will debut. Let's all hope it is better than the Travel Channel's "Travel Spies", which didn't have a stellar debut.
"Party @ the Palms" will be hosted by Jenny McCarthy, and according to executive producer Sean Olsen:
On "Party at the Palms," anything and everything goes in vignettes from the Skin pool lounge to the top-of-the-tower ghostbar, from hidden-camera sequences to interviews with guests and employees, "finding out what their stories are."
In a recent Q/A host Jenny passes on her Vegas velvet rope passing wisdom:
Men, I would say you should pay. And girls, show your boobs.
We thought Jenny the Gen X "it" girl had become Jenny home-maker. You know, removed her implants, had a baby, moved to the 'burbs, and accepted the fact that her career apex was in 1994 while hosting MTV's Singled Out.
Guess not.
Oh, and it looks like all the "Caught in the Act" stuff on the show might be a little staged. The show recently posted an open casting call on Craigslist.
Reality TV is not real?!? We know, we know, call us a bunch of blasphemous rodents, if it makes you feel better.
