Comedy Hypnotist Chris Cady – Whatcha Need to Know!

We’ve received questions regarding Hypnotist Chris Cady’s Comedy Hypnosis Show in the Valley ballroom on Wednesday night, February 17. The two most common are “how do I volunteer to get hypnotized?” and “who makes the best subjects?” According to Chris, women make the best subjects - especially creative, artistic women. He also indicated that over the years he has hypnotized plenty of men including entire football teams and U.S. Marines! Regarding who gets to join him on stage, Chris was very clear in pointing out that no one is forced. He suggests you just be in the front and “jump up and down” when he asks for volunteers. For more on how the show transpires, check the video above or read this story in The Record Courier posted by Sarah Hauck who interviewed Chris a few days ago. As a reminder, the doors open at 7:00, the show starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are just $15 at the hotel desk or call 775-783-6606. 21 or over for this show.

You Overdid it on Super Bowl Sunday? Perhaps you stayed out too late at a Super Bowl party. Perhaps you drank too much before and during the game. Or, perhaps you were basing your financial future on Carolina and the overs. Here are a few ways to try to “atone.” They may or may not work for you, but they are definitely worth a try:

• Valentine’s Day Dinner: CV Steak and Katie's are each offering two Valentine's Day dinner specials in addition to our regular menu items this Sunday. Information on the specials is at this link. Reservations are a must in CV Steak so call today: 775-783-6650.
• Genoa Cowboy Festival Weekend: we covered this in more detail last week but our reservations manager asked we re-emphasize that, while we are offering a special package, we are restricted to a finite number for Friday and Saturday, April 29 & 30, 2016. The details are at this link.
• Mother’s Day Weekend Getaway: a great getaway whether you’re trying to get out of the doghouse or just want to surprise your spouse: A hotel room for Friday and Saturday night, May 6 & 7 plus a $60 dining card for use in CV Steak, Katie’s or Job’s Perk during your stay. The details are at this link. 

Love + Luck = Lots of Cash!

In conjunction with our two sister properties, Sharkey's Casino and Bodines Casino, our $80,000 All Cash Love & Luck Giveaways promotion kicks into gear this Sunday, February 14  with daily swipe & win at the casino kiosks, Friday and Saturday night drawings, Cash Parties on February 27 and March 19, and grand prize drawings on March 31!  We're starting this promotion on Valentine's Day - most commonly associated with Love, and continuing it through the month of March anchored by St. Patrick's Day, most commonly associated with Luck. Everyone likes, appreciates and prefers an all-cash promotion once in a while so we're offering many opportunities to luck into some money as we spread around a total of $80,000 with every penny of it being given away in cash!  As always, we include the following which gets us off the hook for any "that's not what we got from reading your blog" claims: Complete promotion details are available at the Guest Services counter at all three locations.

But First, More Cash Saturday: Our $75,000 King of Cash Promotion finale is this Saturday with a Cash Party from 1 to 8 p.m.  Events include drawings, hot seat giveaways, lite snacks and over $10,000 in cash combined between CVI and Bodines Casino including two guaranteed $1000 cash winners – one at CVI and one at Bodines Casino.

Free Cabaret Lounge Entertainment: Steve Lord is here tonight, The Blues Monsters entertain Thursday through Saturday and George Pickard returns Sunday through Wednesday. The Blues Monsters is a popular red-hot rockin' blues band from the North Lake Tahoe and Reno area. The quartet performs a powerfully unique combination of R&B, funk, jazz, and Chicago-style blues. Whether paying respects to the masters of traditional blues, or rockin' out other tunes, The Blues Monsters get the whole house up and dancing!

Race and Sports Book:

• This week you can watch and bet Horseracing, NBA and College Basketball and NHL Hockey.  We are also taking action on the NBA All-Star Game and some of the preliminary events such as the slam dunk contest and the three-point contest.

• Because We Feel Like Mentioning It:
• Friday is Lost Penny Day. In stumbling across this piece of information of otherwise questionable importance, we were reminded that we have not mentioned our Penny Progressive Jackpot in a while. Last we checked it had climbed over $19,000 and is starting to attract more attention since it can be all be won for a 90-Penny bet.
• Saturday is Tortellini Day. We suggest you celebrate either today or next Wednesday with the Cheese Tortellini Carbonara $5.99 special in Katie’s.
