Just call me the Sundance Kid
LAST MONTH, I was emcee of the W Las Vegas Hotel, Casino and Residences event at the Sundance Film Festival.There were stars galore at the festival, and I joined the 50 players who opened the event. After all, first prize was a $700,000 condo, and since I wasn’t getting paid to comment, I wanted a shot at winning it.The event had attracted a huge audience, and the final table included Annie Duke, Chris Masterson, Shannon Elizabeth, Gina Gershon, W Las Vegas Hotel cofounder Reagan Silber and me.
