That is James Gandolfini, Michael Imperioli, Tony Sirico, et al, were on the Vegas Strip a few days ago promoting the premiere of "The Casino," a docurealty show that will follow the efforts of two Vegas Casino owner's attempts to revitalize a downtown casino.

Gandolfini was put up, not surprisingly, in The Frank Sinatra Suite at The Golden Nugget.

Fans of the show were everywhere and admiring females flashed the Goompas at a pool party held at Caesars Palace Garden of the Gods. Maybe some of them will appear as pole dancers at the "Bada Bing" next season.

The cast partook of a lobster, steak, and pasta, of course, dinner, at Stefano's, while being serenaded by singing waiters.

Everyone had a great time, no one disappeared, and the fans behaved themselves.

Hey why take chances, after all, Paulie Walnuts was the real deal years ago as evidenced by a copy of his February 1970 NYC "charge sheet".
