Serves Up Sizzling Stories in His Autobiography:
Master Butler Extraordinaire of
Published by Llumina Press
About Celebrities, High Rollers, and How Today’s
Valentino, who has been seen on many television shows and
interviewed by major magazines, has served presidents such as Ronald Reagan and
Bill Clinton; sports superstars such as Muhammad Ali and Tiger Woods, and
countless entertainment superstars including Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Davis, Fran
Sinatra, Bob Hope, Celine Dion, Bette Midler, Jennifer Lopez, Rod Stewart, Tom
Cruise, Jerry Seinfeld, and Oprah Winfrey, to whom the book is dedicated.
In this sizzling autobiography, Valentino tells how he grew
up in
So who is this Master Butler Extraordinaire?
Valentino writes,” The Master Butler Extraordinaire of Las Vegas is a
master artist of culinary service, and a tireless caretaker who meets every need
of his VIP guests with grace charm, and dignity.
He is available at all times, yet can also be invisible at any time.
The Master Butler Extraordinaire of Las Vegas labors not by the hour, but
by the day, which begins at the stroke of dawn and ends well into the night.”
He also has to deal with some unusual circumstances with
grace and ingenuity. Valentino
writes about dealing with VIP guests stuck in elevators; making a telephone call
for a guest—while the guest was in the bathroom; the famous person who demanded
VIP treatment for his dog; the party guests who threw him into the Jacuzzi fully
clothed; and a famous guest who was entertaining two ladies at once—without one
knowing about the other!
Valentino’s book also includes some of his most delicious
recipes including Tableside Steak Diane, Paella Valenciana, and, for dessert,
Banana Foster as well as directions for some of his most famous drinks.
According to Valentino, a Master Butler Extraordinaire needs
integrity, empathy, humility, passion, honesty, personality, and dedication.
He knows the principles of dress, manners, style, and service.
And he has to make it all look easy even while serving the most famous
people in the world—or being thrown fully clothed into the Jacuzzi!
