World Famous Palomino Club Chosen as CSI Production Location


LAS VEGAS, Dec. 12, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- The world famous Palomino Club will be used as a location for a forthcoming episode of the nation's top rated television show, CBS's CSI. The shoot is scheduled for December 15, 2003.

The CSI episode, "Suckers," will be shot in part in the Palomino Club's elegant VIP Room, which is frequently used for private parties. The scene features CSI star Marg Helenberger, who plays Catherine Willows. The Willows character, ironically like several of the women at the Palomino Club, worked as an exotic dancer on the famous Las Vegas Strip while attending college. Gary Dourdan, again with a touch of irony, was born in Las Vegas and will also be in the Palomino Club scene. He plays Warrick Brown, who in his teenage years was a casino runner in Las Vegas. The airdate for this episode has not yet been set.

Luis Hidalgo, owner of the Palomino Club, said, "We are very pleased to be recognized as a location setting for this great show. I'm a former employee of the San Bruno, California Police Department and CSI has been a favorite of mine since its first show. The Palomino Club's clean, retro look of 70s Las Vegas and safe, comfortable environment makes it a very good fit with the look and feel of CSI."

Mr. Hidalgo also hinted at changes at the Palomino Club. He said, "Established in 1969, the Palomino Club has a solid reputation in Las Vegas for creativity and great entertainment. Before the end of this year, we will be introducing a major new show that we believe to be the only one of its kind in the nation. All I can say now is 'Watch out Chippendales and Thunder from Down Under. The Palomino's looking for you.'"
