Chances are that during your time in Las Vegas, you’ve been “dealered.” And it’s even likely you’ve been “tained.” But put the two together, and you’ve got an only-in-Vegas experience on your hands.

The famed dealertainers at Imperial Palace make sure every moment at the blackjack table is an entertaining one. Here’s today’s featured dealertainer, Claudia as Lady Gaga.

Yes, we admit it, Claudia frightened us a little. But in a good way.

Dealertainers not only know to “always split 8s,” they also sing and dance! Have a star encounter at Imperial Palace. Learn more.

You know ‘em, you love ‘em, you rely on ‘em to both deal and entertain, they’re the famed “Dealertainers” of the Imperial Palace.

Today’s featured dealertainer is Barbara who channels the essence of Bette Midler.

Barbara can simultaneously deal blackjack and belt out a Midler tune.

Bonus Bette Midler factoid: The Divine Miss M (the real one) majored in drama at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, the same campus where this very Las Vegas blog also studied drama (along with a few other things).

Yes, we had help with this one. We are a blog, not a fancy graphic designer.

We considered going on and on about ourselves and our blog, but we are too busy researching more blog posts about Las Vegas. (Fake out! “Research” is so 2003.)

We will, however, post these 15 stunningly interesting factoids about our first 1,000 posts:

We love us some Imperial Palace dealertainers! Not sure what a dealertainer is? You’re in for a treat. They deal blackjack. They perform. They patiently wait while certain Las Vegas blogs get their camera settings right. First, meet Nicole!

Nichole channels Carrie Underwood at Imperial Palace.

Nichole doesn’t have one of the more elaborate costumes at Imperial Palace, but she sure can belt out a Carrie Underwood tune.

In terms of “elaborate,” we’ll leave that to Emory who works the blackjack table (and stage) as Little Richard.

Emory works the crowd like a master showman. Who also knows to always split 8s.
