The Montecito Hotel & Casino was featured on the popular TV show Las Vegas â now featured on Cable TV reruns. The Montecito Hotel doesn't really exist â at least not on the Las Vegas Strip in this universe!

If you compare the success and overall career statistics of both players, Ginobili has the edge in almost every category, despite being selected 56 players after Brand.
