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 :)

The NBA certainly doesnât need to go the route of MLB and have so many unnecessary rounds that GMs start drafting their nephews, athletes in other sports, or offspring of former players.

Three rounds would increase each teamâs preseason roster size by just one player and would allow the evaluation of 30 more players under NBA watch.
