Awhile ago, a lady from the Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada brought in a leather-bound, studio copy of the screenplay for the blockbuster movie “The Godfather” to the pawn shop featured on the show, Pawn Stars. This lady was offered $500, and she declined.

It looks like she had the right idea, because it went to auction and brought in $12,000 last week.

The story gets more interesting though. Within the screenplay, there was an inscription that read “Bob — It cost me a lot … but there’s one thing that I got … ulcers — Thanks — Al.”

It was assumed that “Al” was Al Pacino, but in fact was an inscription by the producer Al Ruddy. Ruddy saw this episode of Pawn Stars, and decided he wanted to help the Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada charity. He ended up donating some additional Hollywood memorabilia, as well as photographs from the movie set of “The Godfather.” On top of that, Ruddy went the extra mile and videotaped a little video for the eventual owner of the screenplay, congratulating them. Ruddy believed that the additional goodies would help the value of the screenplay, and he wanted the charity to be able to make the most that they could at auction.

When it came time for the auction, Ruddy’s wife ended up purchasing the screenplay to surprise her husband. Ruddy was flabbergasted the morning she set it down on the table beside his omelette.

Here’s his wife’s explanation as to why she made the purchase: “I have a very creative and talented husband who has managed to win two Oscars (best-picture awards for “The Godfather” in 1972 and “Million Dollar Baby” in 2004), and I like to have things in twos to make our two children happy. So I wanted a second studio copy of the ‘Godfather’ screenplay.”

It was bound to happen sooner or later, and is it really so surprising that a customer had a heart attack at the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas?

A man believed to be in his 40’s was rushed to hospital when paramedics showed up within minutes of getting a call from the Heart Attack Grill.

The owner of the Heart Attack Grill, Jon Basso told press that one of his employees noticed that the customer was having a heart attack, and reacted promptly, seeking medical help. Since the incident, the customer’s condition and identity have not been learned.

At the Heart Attack Grill, employees all are nicknamed “nurses.’ The owner, Jon Basso is known as “chief surgeon.” Customers are nicknamed “patients” and food orders are referred to as “prescriptions.”

A “nurse” noticed the customer was sitting by himself, and then noticed that he was shaking and clutching his chest.

Basso has expressed that he hopes people will respect this customer’s privacy, as well as take the situation seriously, despite the coincidence. He said to the press, commenting on the incident “When they happen in a heart attack-themed restaurant, people find it funny.”

The Heart Attack restaurant opened last Fall in Las Vegas, and is near the Fremont Street Experience.

The new McCarran terminal is something that many can not wait to see! Boasting a security system that will be second to none, passengers will feel amazingly safe, as well as employees.

The new terminal opening up at McCarran is Terminal 3. The doors for the new terminal are slated to open at McCarran International Airport on June 27^th this year. The terminal cost a staggering $2.4 billion. When the terminal finally does open, Terminal 3 will be bustling with arriving passengers as well as locals that are going on international flights. There will be 14 gates, with a half a mile long building to go with it.

Despite being set to open in just five months, there’s still a tonne of work that has to be done. From electronic equipment set up and placement, to finishing the terminal’s retail and food areas, it’s a plateful. What’s more, the retail and food areas are being set up in such a way that there will be room for growth as the terminal traffic grows over the next few years.

There is also a plan to put a 10,000-square-foot duty-free store in the new Terminal 3. Currently, Terminal 2 has a duty-free store, but it will pale in comparison the new one being built, as the new store will be four times the size of it!

It’ll be interesting to see the new Terminal 3 when it’s finally completed.
