Mike to be a guest on Spike TV's new show "King of Vegas"

Starting on January 17th at 10PM EST, "King of Vegas" will premier on Spike TV. It's a new gambling show that is trying to break the mold of typical gambling shows. It will pit known gamblers from different games against each other to determine who the real King of Vegas is. While poker is still in the mix, it will also include games such as Pai Gow, Blackjack, Roulette, and even sports betting.

You will see some familiar faces if you're a poker fan, most notably of course is Mike "The Mouth" Matusow. You'll also see poker professionals David Williams and Evelyn Ng. Other players include "Hollywood" Dave Stann from the professional BlackJack ranks.

The players will compete for a first place prize of 1 million dollars (is it just me or it becoming commonplace to give away a million bucks now?), although they may have the change the "King" designation if Evelyn wins :)

The show will run for 10 weeks and according to co-host Wayne Allyn Root (the most prominent sports handicapper in the world), "We think King of Vegas could become like American Idol. Imagine the future, with thousands lined up at each city for audition tours to be the next King of Vegas!"
