BILL MAHER

It is a new plan, we deduct the minutes late from a perfect score of 100 and go from there.

Maher thus, starts with 83.

What can they do to make your visit to the show more miserable ?

This is the Hard Rock (the Joint) in Las Vegas a venue already holding a highling negative reputation that is well earned.

Lets start Saturday morning, we get two free tickets to Maher from the radio station and I call in to confirm. Voice mail, ticketmaster, recording, box office not open, box office not selling tickets, they hang up. You should always call to confirm, to check for a go and for details. I did my best here but no communciation, what would be wrong with pickup the phone ?

Saturday night we arrive at 821 surprisingly our free tickets are there, but it is standing room ....cattle call....... enterance only ....and to a roped off area in front of the bar. We leave, kill 40 minutes in the sports book where the atmosphere is equally negative, we return at 905 and my carrying bag is no longer admitable, got to take it to the car, back out, back in and
we wait with the other cattle, standing at the bar. At 910 dozens of folks (all younger than us) are still in line waiting entrance. No seats, no bag, no communication, no meeting starting time, it all sucks for two impatient old men who really wanted to hear some clever verbal repartee !
Standing at a bar for a comic, what am I missing ?

Maher, 51, smart, Politcally Incorrect, Bush basher (THERE IS A PLUS), he is on at 917, we go for 41 minutes and now there is smoking at the bar, we leave.

All shows graded to the standard of perfection Sammy Davis Jr., boy do I miss him. Anyway Maher gets 82 B- mostly due to the Hard Rock and their lack of everything !
