Impressionist Danny Gans' death last month was caused by a combination of heart and blood diseases and a powerful prescription painkiller used to treat chronic pain, the Clark County coroner said Tuesday.
The death was ruled accidental.
"Mr. Gans' health conditions placed him at greater risk for heart irregularities, and the hydromorphone was a factor that exacerbated those risks," Coroner Mike Murphy said at a news conference.
The official cause of death was
acute hydromorphone toxicity because of chronic pain syndrome.
Hydromorphone is a strong synthetic opioid commonly known as Dilaudid.

MGM Mirage casino co. says it may default on debt
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- MGM Mirage Inc., the gambling company owned by billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian, said Tuesday that it may default on its debt amid development of its biggest casino project ever, the $8.6 billion CityCenter in Las Vegas.
Unless the economy turns around and more people start gambling again, the Las Vegas-based casino company believes it will break its loan agreements this year, it said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
[HH: Shame on you, filthy degenerates! This is your fault for not doing your job. Now get out there and gamble like you mean it. Oh, and remember, there's always help and support available for your problem, just call this toll-free number. But do it later. You'll have to act fast as there's a coupon book with $50 free slotplay if you get to the casino in the next 30 minutes. Hurry, supplies are limited.)
That would mean a default on its senior credit facility, which MGM has asked to modify.
MGM Mirage will delay filing its annual report until March 17 because it is still assessing its financial position and liquidity needs, the company said in Tuesday's unscheduled filing. One factor in the delay, the company reported, was its decision last week to tap $842 million of its $4.5 billion senior revolving credit agreement to cover general expenses.
[HH: It would seem consumers aren't the only one's living off their credit cards....Maybe MGM should get in touch with one of those debt counseling places by calling the toll-free number at the bottom of their screen. After they call the gambling support toll-free number, of course.)
As of the end of September 2008, MGM Mirage had $13.29 billion in long-term debt.
....
MGM Mirage has not reported on its financial position since September nor posted its earnings for the quarter that ended Dec. 31.
The March 17 report is to include an auditor's assessment of whether MGM Mirage can continue as a company.

St. Patrick's Day. Today, Thursday March 12, the Grand Canal inside the
the Grand Canal Shoppes will turn green in an Irish flavored ceremony
hosted by Liam the Leprechaun at 10 AM. Liam will arrive in a gondolier
to St. Mark's Square where he will throw gold confetti into the air
from the spinning boat to open the green canal for gondola rides.
Gondoliers will be dressed in green scarves, sashes, ribbons and shamrocks for the duration of the St. Patty's celebration. The singing gondoliers will be supplementing their repertoire of Italian melodies with Irish favorites including When Irish Eyes are Smiling, My Wild Irish Rose, and Up among the Heather.
Liam the Leprechaun will spend most of Thursday, 11AM to 6 PM, retreating through the Grand Canal Shoppes; and, if found and greeted with "Luck o' the Irish" he will dole out prizes from his pot of gold including free rides on the Lucky Green Grand canal. Adult guests purchasing ride tickets for $16 per person March 12-18 can exchange their ticket stub for a free bottle of Guinness at the Mercato store inside The Grand Canal. Gondola rides are open Sunday-Thursday 10 AM-11 PM and Friday-Saturday 10 AM-Midnight. Tickets may be purchased at Emporio d' Goindola ticket office.

Christmas at Caesars Palace Las Vegas
Caesars Palace is usually a nice place to take a stroll but around
Christmas time the lights and the trees really give you that special
holiday feeling. Think about it, artificial trees, artificial snow,
artificial ice and reindeer. Las Vegas is all about the make believe.
Paris Las Vegas at Christmas
Do the French ever find a kind word to say at Christmas? Don’t worry at Paris Las Vegas everyone is nice and they never forget Christmas. The city of lights transforms into the city of Christmas lights.
Christmas Decorations at the Monte Carlo Las Vegas
I don't know about you but the Christmas Decorations they use at the Monte Carlo Las Vegas scare me. Really, is it Mardi Gras in December? The Monte Carlo usually has a number of trees set up in its lobby and they all have some very interesting ornaments.
The Lights of Las Vegas
The Las Vegas lights are only brighter during Christmas.
Christmas at the Bellagio Las Vegas
The Bellagio Las Vegas does Christmas very well. The gardens have the large Christmas Trees and the lobby is decorated in such a festive fashion that you almost forget that everything is so expensive.
Christmas at the Rio Las Vegas
The Rio Las Vegas has some good decorations during the holidays. You can expect some Christmas themes in their Masquerade in the sky show as well as throughout the resort.
Steve Wynn gave the public a first view of his latest creation, Wynn Encore Las Vegas, during grand opening ceremonies on Tuesday. My first impression is best summed up by borrowing Wynn's one word description of Encore, "Lovely." Encore must be experienced in person so make plans now and book reservations.
Do yourself a favor and tour the new Wynn joint. Bring the camera, good
photos are easy to take at the Encore.
