Today’s Featured Dealertainer: Sir Jac as Prince

We’re not sure “Sir Jac” would “Die 4 U,” but this talented “dealertainer” would definitely dance parts of himself off to entertain “U” and your fellow guests at Imperial Palace.

The indefatigable Sir Jac as the inestimable Prince. Thanks again, Internet thesaurus!

We love that Sir Jac (possibly not his birth name) never seems to stop dancing, even when he’s dealing blackjack.

Here’s a little peek at his time on the dealertainer stage at Imperial Palace, courtesy of one of his fans.

Today’s Featured IP Dealertainer: Amy Winehouse

We weren’t sure how to feel about this at first. The Imperial Palace has a new Amy Winehouse “dealertainer.” Dealertainers are those folks who deal blackjack and also perform as music’s icons, past and present.

Once we got past our “too soon” moment, it occurred to us, the real Amy Winehouse seems to have loved a good time, and this blog gets the feeling dealing cards and singing songs and helping Vegas visitors create unforgettable memories is something Ms. Winehouse might have gotten behind.

So, here’s Gloria, as Amy Winehouse.

Today’s Featured Dealertainer: Wynonna Judd

Today’s featured Imperial Palace dealertainer (part blackjack dealer, part entertainer) is Kerri, who appears to be the monozygotic twin of Wynonna Judd. Whatever a monozygotic twin might be.

Kerri does her Wynonna Judd thing.

Come to find out, Kerri is a former member of the cast of Legends in Concert, the celebrity tribute show at Harrah’s Las Vegas.

See all our featured dealertainers, because experts agree, there’s a lot of money to be made by “wasting more time on the Internet.”

Do you have a favorite Imperial Palace dealertainer? This blog does not especially care. Because the more it’s about you, the less it is about this Las Vegas blog, and we won’t be a party to that.

Today’s Featured Imperial Palace Dealertainer

You  know them, you love them, they’re the famed dealertainers of the Imperial Palace.

We should amend that a bit. You probably know a few of the IP’s famed dealertainers (blackjack dealers who also perform onstage), but do you know them all? You probably will, if you keep reading this Las Vegas blog.

Today’s featured dealertainer is Jeff as singer Michael Buble.

Jeff as Buble

Jeff and his biggest fan. See what we did there?

Check out all our past featured Imperial Palace dealertainers, because having you read our “old stuff” means less energy being expended by this blog coming up with “new stuff,” and we’re big fans of that.

Today’s Featured Dealertainer: Rod Stewart

Just as the real Rod Stewart breezes back into Caesars Palace for the second year of his successful Las Vegas residency (starting Nov. 3, 2011), we discover a new addition to the dealertainer (dealers who sing, or the other way around) line-up at Imperial Palace!

It’s Vic taking on the persona of, wait for it, Rod Stewart. Imagine that!

Vic as Rod Stewart

Vic, tonight's the night. For, you know, dealing blackjack and singing and stuff.

Check out all our featured dealertainers at the IP, because otherwise you’ll be stuck having to “interact with your family” or “accomplish something” or “be a productive member of society,” and nobody wants to see that.

Today’s Featured Dealertainer

They deal blackjack. They entertain. Hence, the mash-up: “Dealertainer.”

A day or two ago, a loyal Pulse of Vegas blog reader (yes, they actually exist) asked, “Have you featured the guy who plays Adam Lambert at the Imperial Palace?” We have, in fact, not. Until today.

Unlike many dealers in Vegas, Jerod could actually bench press us.
