    Ah yes, Ninya Perna. In Sept. '04 I was driving back from Laughlin to LV early one morning. I left about 8 am. I had some time to kill before I had to pick up a buddy from McCarran at noon. I stopped at GVR about 10 am and sat at the bar just drinking sodas. I was shooting the breeze with the bartender about "American Casino" which I knew was being taped there. I asked him if he sees Ninya on a regular basis, and he smiled but rolled his eyes. According to him, she thought her sh*t didn't stink. I asked him "Is she as good-looking in person?" He says "YEAH! Go past the front desk. You might see her, but don't say that I told you that!". Well, I cashed out and headed that way (that was the entrance I came in anyway, I parked my rental near the main entrance) , and right on cue there she was!! She had a clipboard and was talking to some underlings. I must've looked like a deer in headlights in my cargo pants and Hawaiian shirt. I walked by and I managed to utter "I like the show. Keep it going!" and she turned around and thanked me. Beautiful girl.

    Update:
    Throw those VHS tapes out!
    They're grainy, hard to hear & watch
    If you even have a VHS player to play them on, you have to fix the tracking routinely
    You can't zip to the next episode like DVDs (which will drive you absolutely nuts)
    The commercials and content are archaic, albeit entertaining at times
    Mid Feb. after posting I watched the beginning of the first tape (it was hard to sit through just a little)
    I suppose that's why they've been in a box all this time...

    There is a short show available on demand on the travel channel about Vegas called trip testers. Episode 1 is about Vegas.

    On the You Can Bet on That website they have a TV listings page. It's basically a list of every upcoming show that involves Vegas or gambling, no matter how small. I don't know if it's 100% comprehensive but it's a good place to look at from time to time.
