APO arrived in Reno on the 28th of May and
were pleasantly surprised to see a big backlit poster of themselves
at the airport. Another surprise was the stretch limo that picked
them up! The whole promotion effort was quite awesome. APO's pictures
were all over the Silver Legacy, Circus Circus, and El Dorado Casinos
in different media--posters, flyers, magazines, video kiosks which
played APO videos interspersed with other acts like Jewel, Sinbad,
and yes!...even Chippendales! Ha ha!
For all that effort, a full sized audience
of 3,000 people filled the house. The ushers commented that Danny,
Jim and Boboy had a bigger crowd than the recent acts like Julio
Iglesias, Chicago, etc.. making the APO a major act in Reno! The
program was the 8th show in the tour and like all the others, it
gave the trio and band multiple standing ovations! APO was super-thrilled
considering that this was their second show in this casino city
in less than a year. Already, serious talk of a come back is in
the offing!
Thank you Reno!
