| Our Thanksgiving Dinner To Go for up to 10 People |
Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner to Go
What’s Included, How to Order
We’re offering a Thanksgiving Dinner
to Go for Up to Ten again this year and orders are being taken now. CVI
Executive Chef Andy Bouchard has made the holiday-at-home meal an even better experience
for 2019. According to Chef Andy, “In previous years we served the turkey whole
which still left our customers with a lot of work to do at home and a mess to
clean up. This year we’ll start with a 20 - 22 pound bird but the turkey will
be deboned and the white meat and dark meat cooked separately. This
allows us to cook the breast faster to enhance the moisture of the white meat.
We’ll marinate the legs with spices and seasonings overnight and then cook it
slowly for maximum flavor. By us deboning the legs you will enjoy the dark meat
with no cartilage.” The turkey will be
presented pre-sliced in an aluminum roasting pan.
Traditional side dishes include mashed
potatoes, stuffing, giblet gravy, green beans amandine, cranberry sauce, a
pumpkin pie, rolls and butter all for just $99.00 plus tax. An optional side dish of yams is $13.99. Orders may be placed at the Katie's cashier counter or call
775-783-6664 and ask for the Katie's supervisor. Pick up is between 9 AM and
noon on Thanksgiving Day. All items will be pre-cooked and packaged in
oven-ready roasting pans ready to heat per the provided instructions (allow an
hour for heating at home). The only “pot or pan” you’ll need is a saucepan or
microwave container to heat the gravy!
This no-waste, less-fuss approach is perfect for those who prefer to
enjoy Thanksgiving in a home environment but don’t want the full load of
preparing dinner from scratch and all the associated clean-up.
Comedian Spotlight – Kris Tinkle

entertaining in the CVI Valley Ballroom on Saturday, November 23 and we’ll be

Kris has traveled to nearly every state and performed festivals and multiple
USO tours in Iraq, Kuwait and Japan for the U.S military. He has been seen on

| Just One - OK Maybe Two - 'Cause the Holidays are Coming |
It's All About Food (and Beer)
- Today is National Boston Crème Pie Day. With the holidays coming up we want you to go “lite,” so just have one of our Mini Boston Cream Pie’s available at the Katie’s Bakery Counter.
- Thursday is National Food Day. This one is supposedly to get us to eat healthier
than normal so read about it if you wish. For those who lean in the opposite
direction Friday is National Greasy Food Day which we are convinced
comes right after National Food Day to provide proper dietary balance!
- Saturday is National Pumpkin Pie Day so we are bringing Pumpkin Pie back to our Katie’s Bakery Counter this Friday (a day early just to be sure) for “the season!” And in the spirit of this “Superfood” you'll also find Pumpkin Cheesecake on the list of scrumptious offerings.
- Sunday is National American Beer Day. We have this one well covered whether it’s your favorite draft or bottled beer at the Casino Bar or CV Steak Bar; bottled beers in Job’s Perk; or a 6-pack, 12-pack or case at the Carson Valley Market between the Hotel and the Motor Lodge:
- Tuesday is National Oatmeal Day – served every morning in Katie’s!
From the Sports & Race Book
- Sports Book Mike’s Musings:
- As Long as the Broom doesn’t
come out: Barring one of the teams sweeping the
World Series, this Sunday will be "Sports Equinox," the only day of
the year on which all four major Pro Sports will have games going on! Anyone
care to play a 4-team parlay with a game on each major pro sport?
- Favorites went 9-5 against the spread, with 3 dogs winning. The real dogs were the 3 prime-time games this week: the Chiefs, Cowboys and Patriots romped to easy victories.
- Speaking of dogs, the Chargers really need to finally get rid of Norv Turner. Oh wait, they did that 7 years ago. Never mind.
- There's a couple of good matchups this week in College: Auburn at LSU and Wisconsin at Ohio State. Both games have double digit spreads and look to be high scoring affairs.
- Our Pro Pick’em Progressive Jackpot is at $3,440 this week. Pick all 15 NFL winners on our weekly $5 Parlay Card and it’s yours. Each week it is not “hit,” the jackpot climbs based on the collective contest play at the CVI, Sharkey’s Casino, Bodines Casino and SlotWorld Casino.
- Football Extras:
- $2
Coors Light draft
at the Casino Bar or in the Cabaret Lounge during all televised NFL and College
Games.

Each week we kick in $160 and the payout is on the Monday Night Football Game –
$40 to the winners of the first three quarters and the final score. Any
unclaimed quarters roll to the next week and for the October 28 Dolphins-Steelers game it’s up to $91 a quarter!!

20 of 21), Horse Racing and this Sunday’s NASCAR Monster Energy Series First Data 500 at the Martinsville
