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 draft usually takes place at the end of June, during the NBA off-season. Since 1989, the draft has consisted of two rounds; this is much shorter than the entry drafts of the other major professional sports leagues, all of which run at least seven rounds. Sixty players are selected in each draft. No player may sign with the NBA until he has been eligible for at least one draft.
