A pot o’ gold at the end of the rainbow

As we review the events of ’03 and reflect on the upcoming year, we’ve compiled a wish list for our township and its inhabi- tants. For the mayor, we wish a year of amicable working relationships between all members of the business community, including the Downtown Millburn Development Alliance (DMDA) and the Chamber of Commerce. For the business administrator, we wish a year of building and road projects for which deadlines are met and costs contained. For the superintendent of public works, we wish an abundance of blue skies and mild temperatures, with occasional precipitation that falls softly on the land and flows gently into the streams and rivers. For the merchants and restaurant owners, we wish a clientele with abiding loyalty and deep pockets. For motorists, we wish no more detours and structurally sound permanent bridges. We also wish them parking spaces right next to their destination. For police officers, may all incidents be of a minor nature and may motorists quickly adjust to the new traffic patterns. For parents, we wish children who go to school eagerly each day, learn good citizenship and heed their parents’ advice to exercise responsible behavior when it comes to drugs, alcohol and driving. For the superintendent of schools, we wish state funding for all state-mandated programs and a repeal of the No Child Left Behind Act. For golfers on the Municipal Par 3, we wish straight drives that find the cup. Or, failing that, no need to ask for a mulligan. For users of the town recycling yard, we wish unlimited hours and a coffee bar on Saturday. For the producers at the Paper Mill Playhouse, we wish talent- ed cast members, happy musicians and lavish sets that don’t break the bank. For the township’s first aid squad and the local chapter of the American Red Cross, we wish an army of dedicated, motivated volunteers. For the deer, we wish a preserve where they can roam freely, al- lowing beleaguered homeowners to grow bountiful gardens. For all citizens, a moment at the end of a busy day to appreciate Seniors will benefit from Medicare changes the breath-taking sight of geese flying in formation above a golf course, silhouetted against a glowing pink sky.

Special Advertising Feature ATLANTIC CITY w55006-01 CASINO CONFIDENTIAL BY TONY AUGUST

Entertainment Policy Changes For 2004

855266 erhaps because I am a product of a family of musicians and Pperformers and a bit of a performer in my own right,I have always been keenly interested in the entertainment policy and presentations of the performing artists in the Hotel/ Casinos throughout the country.

It’s now 19 years since I first landed in Atlantic City. Back then I naively concluded that the person with the title of Director of Entertainment and especially the title of VP of

w58594-01 Entertainment was the person who set the Entertainment Policy for the Hotel/Casino. I now know that in most cases, nothing could be farther from the truth.

Most entertainment directors,at least in Atlantic City,don’t have the authority to book the performers on their own. By that I mean they just can’t decide that they want to hire someone and independently go out and hire them.They have to get permission from their superiors.

The problem with this is that in many cases their superiors don’t necessarily have an entertainment background. Their expertise might be in marketing, or in the case of most c.o.’s, their experience is in finance or administration. And since many of these superiors have areas of interests other than entertainment, they usually make their decisions on what I call the “bottom line mentality.”

This usually manifests itself into the “get somebody to do it for less” syndrome. And that almost always means a lower quality entertainer, presenting an inferior entertainment product.

Eventually that leads to a lack of interest in the type of entertainment offered at a particular casino which means less attendance at that casino. This subsequently generates less revenue, which invariably triggers further budget cuts and eventually the firing of competent entertainment directors replacing them with less qualified people. After all, it’s cheaper to promote people within a department to a higher position and give them titles in lieu of money.

The entertainment offered by every casino is the measuring rod for the amount of play the casino has during the run of any revue or head liner. The better and bigger the draw, and the play. The surest way to a bigger and better “casino bottom line” is and always will be getting an established real live entertainment director and paying him or what they are worth along with the autonomy to book the kinds of shows and acts their expertise tells them too. So lets make 2004 the year for positive changes in casino entertainment policy throughout the industry. Book the best entertainment available when it’s available, not the cheapest around at the time. Set the level of casino entertainment from lounge acts to head liners at a higher bar and then check out your casino floor play and it will reflect in the amounts gambled.

Don’t keep looking to make a profit on your entertainment in the cost of acquiring good performers look to the revenue they bring in on the casino floors when they entertain, that’s where you’ll find the profit.
