I spotted this sign a few days ago in the Luxor poker room. It's an electronic sign, and was starting to change just as I snapped the photo, which is why it has the Bee Gees thing fading in.

I don't think that is what you think it is. Tournament of Kings has a series of adds which make similar not so funny pun like references to various nations. I suspect that the "tournament" teams are named for different countries.
Hungarian food at the buffet??
1/2 price for Hungarians???
followup to my previous comment:
you can see on the seating chart that there is a seating section designated as Hungary

If you like goulash, it might be the place to go.
Clearly, they are inviting the entire nation of Hungary to dine with them.
I hope they all don't show up at once, they'll run out of food, which will many, um, hungry.
I'm trying really hard to find a way that this is a clever play on words, but I'm coming up short. Verdict: embarrassing, expensive typo.
Grange95, who was with me, and I both wondered if there was an intentional pun that we were missing, but couldn't see one. Pete may be right. But if so, the word play would be more obvious if they had the people waving Hungarian flags, or if the other punny ads with other nations' names were in the rotation, too. (They weren't.)
If it helps convince you there is another sign that says "Russia to the show"
