Two Toyota Winners . . .
. . . And Now We Crank It Up Towards $200,000!
Sylvia almost fainted when she won. Rick was a little more accepting.
And without fanfare, they both opted for the $15,000 cash instead of taking the Toyota Corolla each won last Saturday night. So, let’s move forward
because things really ramp up now as we start dispersing the Carson Valley
Inn’s share of our 4-property $200,000
Giveaway Promotion over the next seven weekends. CVI drawings are at 5, 7
and 9 PM every Friday and Saturday through the end of March with a guaranteed $1000 winner at each drawing
- that’s three guaranteed $1000 winners every Friday night and every
Saturday night! As the late-night TV ads sometimes blare out, “But Wait,
There’s More!” We’ll pull an additional four winners at each of the nightly
drawings with lots of cash to go around. Getting in on all this is very simple.
Always use your INN Club card while playing in the casino and you are
automatically adding one drawing entry for every five points you earn through
March 31!
Celebrating the Special Women in Your Life
Being a mom, wife, or grandma is one of the toughest, yet most
rewarding jobs imaginable. While we should show our appreciation all days of
the year, this Mother’s Day, the Carson Valley Inn can help you give the
special woman or women in your life a weekend of appreciation. Friday and
Saturday, May 11 & 12 we’re offering a weekend package for two that
includes a hotel room for two nights plus an $80 Food & Beverage card to use
at you leisure in CV Steak
or Katie’s Country Kitchen . . . and even for
morning coffee and pastries in Job’s Perk. Whether you hit it out
of the park or not with your Valentine’s Day gesture, start planning now for a
Mother’s Day getaway at the CVI! To learn more click here
and select “Mother’s Day Package” in the Rate Plan area when making a reservation online
or give us a call at 775-783-6629.
TJ’s Corral 2018 Schedule
Expanding Soon
Sorry, but we’re taking a
week off from announcing any more 2018 concerts for TJ’s Corral. However, were
not done and we expect to have more to announce over the next few weeks. So,
for now, make sure you’ve got the following on your calendar: Granger Smith on
Saturday, June 16; Clint Black on Friday, June 29;
Trace Adkins on Saturday, July 14; and Creedence Clearwater
Revisited on Sunday, August 12. And were finding out it’s a good thing
we have thick skin, ‘cause we’re really getting pressured on when tickets will
be available. Please know we are not trying to build suspense, withhold
information, tease, or otherwise delay. We just still have a few things to work
out with our ticketing system and a couple of the performers before we can
announce ticket availability and pricing. Please watch our weekly blog and our
social media for more information. And thanks for your patience!
Sometimes We Can’t Even Give It Away!
Think back to Super Bowl Sunday or the few days before. Did you play a
$5 Progressive Pro Pick 'em card at either the CVI or Sharkey’s Casino? Or,
perhaps you know someone who did? We still have two people out there somewhere
who got 12 out of their 15 picks correct and have $1,250 coming to them in cash. So, dig through your pockets and see
if one of these winning tickets belongs to you. If it does, come by the Sports Book at the Carson Valley Inn and we’ll walk you to our Guest Services counter
to pick up your winnings!

Combine Bear Claws with Wine!
What
happens when you try to celebrate National
Almond Day with a bear claw and Drink
Wine Day with a “thought no one was watching” grab from the wine cooler!
- Today is Ferris Wheel Day. The Ferris Wheel was invented by George W. G. Ferris, Jr., younger brother of Margaret Ferris Dangberg, and unveiled at the 1893 Columbian Exposition aka Chicago World’s fair. Common belief is that this invention was inspired right here in Carson Valley . . . by a water wheel at Cradlebaugh Bridge on the Carson River. Find out more by checking Fun Fact #4 on this Page.
- Friday is National Almond Day. With a well-deserved nod to this heart-healthy food in its basic form, we suggest you disregard that part of the intent on Friday and enjoy one of our Bear Claws from Job’s Perk . . . almond paste inside and slivered almonds on top!
- Sunday is Drink Wine Day. Good timing because we just updated our CV Steak Wine List. We added more wines and also made more of our selections (almost 30!) available by-the-glass. Check it out!
- Tuesday is Cherry Pie Day. We are currently selling Mini Cherry Pies as part of the many made-in-house items available the Katie’s Bakery Counter. We tried to take a picture to post here, but we ate it before we could get the camera out.
