Bilgemunky Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Was in Las Vegas this past weekend with the wife. We were strolling through the Venitian when she asks me, "Isn't that Ron Jeremy in front of us? And is that a pirate T-shirt he's wearing?" She was right on both accounts. The shirt read something along the lines of "Pillage, Plunder, Ingnite" (or some such thing) and had a stylized skull&cutlasses. It seems to be part of his company's marketing, which isn't directly related to pirates. Turns out he was their for a giant porn trade show (AVN Tradeshow and Awards). Walking up a bit further was the entrance to said trade show, with a big screen TV repeating a (G-rated) teaser for Pirates: A Joone Film part 2. This would be the adult pirate film everyone's been talking about on this forum. It's also the R film everyone's been finding at blockbuster (albeit somewhat edited.) The teaser for the sequel didn't show any actors, plot, or anything, but merely featured a surprisingly well done CGI pirate ship weathering a storm. The camera zoomed in to focus on the helm, which was manned by a pirate skeleton (again CGI, and again surprisingly well done.) Unfortunately the event was attended and manned by folks more interested in the porn end of things, so I wasn't able to find anyone with any real info about the second film's content. One of the actresses (Jesse Jane) was there, and she might have known something, but I wasn't going to stand in her 3 mile autograph line to ask. Anyways, that's what I learned, and thought I would share! I AM BILGEMUNKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I predict an upswing in the number of pyrates that just won't be able to keep their hands off their dinghies. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilgemunky Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 What? Don't the "Sirens of TI" count as porn? They might have, if their ship wasn't under construction, therefore no show. I'll tell you, the TI Casino is pretty sad - I'd be dissappointed if I hadn't been forwarned that they had axed much of the pirate theme years ago in an effort to portray a more "mature" image (hence "TI" instead of "Treasure Island".) They still have the ship and some tiny bits of decor, but mostly it's just a generic casino. Other pirate items of note: Leslie Neilson has a 4D pirate film at the Luxor - slapstick comedy sort of thing for kids. I was going to watch it, but then I saw a preview and just couldn't spend the $18 it would have cost for us to enter - it looked rather painful. Mandaly has the Rum Jungle - a restraunt/bar/nighclub that's wonderfully decorated with waterfalls and torches. Oh, and they have a menu of over 100 rums! Somewhat overpriced, but an excellent selection. And if you "talk the talk" to the bartender, they seem quite inclined to give you generously sized free samples to help you decide which rum you'd like to order (after the free samples, I almost didn't feel a need to order anything.)

Rumba Rue Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Having seen the Leslie Neilson flick at the Luxor, you were wise to save your money.... I still haven't had a chance to watch the porn movie (Pirates) that I bought when I was there back in October...(screw the r rating-- I got the X one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Steele Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 What? Don't the "Sirens of TI" count as porn? They might have, if their ship wasn't under construction, therefore no show. Okay, that's really wierd. It was just shut down towards the end of Nov and early Dec for three weeks, as I understand it, to clean out the pond. It was insteresting, they gave the "pirates" & "sirens" the option to either help clean with pay or gave them three weeks off. My other half and I went down there on Christmas Eve and I noticed half the siren's crew was gone. Guess they didn't like the idea of having to actually do manual labor... bad pirate. Guess I'll have to take a run down there this weekend. Yep, TI is a total and complete joke. Even their junk stores inside don't carry any pirate themed items. And going inside, it looks like every other casino. The "pirate" movie over at the Luxor was tempting, but not the $18.00 to see it. It's cool to live in Vegas because you have different shows to go to all the time, but the price is set at tourist price. Next time check out the "Half Price Show" place to see if you can get them cheaper. But you are right, MB is the most "pirate" themed, if you will, in Vegas as it has the tropical theme. Theres a Mel Fisher's Treasure down in Henderson though. Steele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
