SNAKE EYES: Rittenhouse comes up empty as Vegas hotel refuses to host his event
In Las Vegas, the house always wins.
Unless it’s the Rittenhouse, that is.
Less than a week after a Texas brewery refused to host the teenage gun enthusiast at a “free speech” event, the upscale Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas announced that they’ve canceled KKKyle’s planned KKKoffee KKKlatch on Wednesday night at The Oak Room inside their Grand Canal Shoppes.
The “first come, first shot serve” event, which was promoted as a “private reception” with Rittenhouse and included an open bar and food, was scheduled to coincide with the Shot Show convention taking place in Vegas.
“You guys are not going to wanna miss out on this one!” Rittenhouse tweeted to his followers, most of whom are members of the Bunchanumbers Bot Family.
“Doors will close as soon as venue fills up” sure reads like a “good luck escaping this room alive” to me, btw.
To be clear, the venue first canceled the event, which was then announced by the Venetian. However, the person who supplies quotes to local TV stations wasn’t shy about letting it be known the hotel was fine with not generating income from this particular event.
“Our tenant informed us that they have canceled the event,” the Venetian’s statement reads (to filth).” We do not speak on behalf of our tenants, but want to emphasize this event did not align with our property’s core event guidelines.”
It’s unlikely the Venetian will face the same backlash that Southern Star Brewery in Texas did, as they’re not a small family business that “just wants to make beer,” but these are also MAGA gun people with proximity to a lot of alcohol while attending a firearms convention.
The ultimate low roller will probably have to go way off-Strip to find a host for this thing — like a 24-Hour Bail Bondsman or something.
Cry more, KKKyle. All you have to do is check your Twitter mentions and you’ll never stop bawling.
