"We had some of the top feature models in the world playing in this tournament," says Rick Murdock, Vice President of Marketing at the Eldorado, "and these models knew how to play blackjack."

"The Eldorado Hotel Casino is where the Super Models of Sports come to play," said Chase Stigall, Director of Player Development. "Whether it is bowling, golf, volleyball, poker, or blackjack, the Eldorado is always happy to host these beautiful models. This event was one of our best ever! Our VIP Players had a great time."

"This is an incredible property," said Summer Alexis, actress and model and Blackjack Finalist, "It has everything. I love to play poker and their Poker Room is first class." Look for Summer as the new Savvy ad campaign . "You feel like you are in the heart of Las Vegas," said Claudia Nell, model, actress, and 2007 International Hawaiian Tropic Winner.

Right out of Milwaukee Wisconsin, Cory and Kristin are 21 year old identical twin singers, songwriters, hip-hop dancers, and choreographers, who have been performing for a solid five years.

The Twins and Eldorado's Tom Forest carried out MC duties for the night.

"Eldorado is a great place to play and hangout," said Cory. "Everyone was so friendly," said Kristin. "And we LOVED the Sushi Bar," both chimed in. "We can't wait to come back."
