California Casino Entertainment
The whole Annie Jacobsen thingie has resulted in publicity for the Sycuan Casino & Resort - host to Nour Mehana and his bathroom-loving band.

As Indian and Asian casinos spring up in Southern California, they find that they have to bring in entertainment to compete with the Vegas casinos. However, the California casinos aren't resorting to man-eating tigers or Canadian singers to bring in the crowds. It's probably accurate to say that California casino entertainment is similar to what the Vegas casinos USED to offer.

As an example, here is a list of who has performed and will perform at the Sycuan Casino & Resort's Showcase Theater - courtesy Anthem Artists (for past shows) and the casino itself (for future shows). The list is partial:
