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! The hotel is purely fictional, although we wish it wasn't â it looks like a FUN place to stay...and visit :)

A draft is a process used in some countries and sports to allocate certain players to teams. In a draft, teams take turns selecting from a pool of eligible players. When a team selects a player, the team receives exclusive rights to sign that player to a contract, and no other team in the league may sign the player. The best-known type of draft is the entry draft, which is used to allocate players who have recently become eligible to play in a league. Depending on the sport, the players may come from college, high school or junior teams or teams in other countries. An entry draft is intended to prevent expensive bidding wars for young talent and to ensure that no one team can sign contracts with all of the best young players and make the league uncompetitive.
