Casino Boss
[edit]I would argue that the section on Casino Boss should not be included. This was apparently a TV pilot written by Dean DeLullo (the casino's owner) that was shown on the local cable station but never picked up by any network for production. It is somewhat self-aggrandizing to describe this as a "movie", implying that the film ever received noteworthy distribution. I invite Aspeaks77 (as the editor who added, and then restored, this paragraph) as well as any other editors to weigh in on why this material should be retained or not.

- I found a few sources for this,[1][2][3][4] but that's about it. It appears to be a sitcom that shot several episodes at the casino, and was then turned into a movie. I don't know if it's worth mentioning in the article. If it were retained, I'm not sure that it needs its own section. I think it's brief enough to fit in the history section. Half of the comedians listed in the Casino Boss section are locals with no Wikipedia article, so I think they should at least be removed. AJFU (talk) 21:19, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
- The reporting on Casino Boss is all over the map. There is no IMDb page for the project, and the article fails to mention Joe Piscopo as a star. I suspect the project shot one pilot (with or without Piscopo), and then fell apart. I really don't think this merits mention. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:56, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Awful Awful Burger
[edit]To read this article, one would assume that the "Awful Awful Burger" orginated at and exists only at the Carson Nugget, but that appears to be untrue.[1] As the Carson Nugget is just one of several outlets where this delicacy is served, it's inclusion in this article seems superfluous, and somewhat promotional.

- According to some sources, the Carson Nugget offers its own version of the burgers,[2][3] and it is now the only place that still sells them.[3][4] Perhaps that makes it more noteworthy for inclusion. I don't feel strongly about keeping or deleting the info, but I agree that it's misleading and should at least be clarified. Since it's a popular item, a brief mention of it might be acceptable, but I don't think it needs an entire section. It could be trimmed down to a couple sentences and moved to the history section.

- I agree that the present treatment gives it WP:UNDUE weight. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:29, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
