We are in the heart of Elvis Week here at the Carson Valley Inn, so today's
posting has some interesting Elvis related tidbits, info on how you can win two
free tickets to the Flamingo's Concert on January 17 or a free ski weekend on
January 24 and 25 and some insight into the Pro Pick'em leftover jackpot . . .
Is Elvis Still Alive? This is actually the most common question asked of Dave Hebler, a former Elvis bodyguard who will be part of the Elvis Week festivities in the Cabaret Lounge this Wednesday through Saturday. Dave's primary responsibility was the personal safety of Elvis at home as well as at recording sessions, personal appearances, concert tours and various recreational activities. Dave also taught Elvis martial arts and, with two other Elvis bodyguards, was one of the three collaborators on the book Elvis What Happened? Over the years, Dave has fielded literally thousands of Elvis questions with the most common being - Is Elvis Still Alive? No questions are off limits for Dave who has first-hand Elvis insights known by only a very few! He also shares some interesting and often funny stories about Elvis that you may not have heard before. Dave had some truly great times and outrageous experiences with the man who was not only the greatest entertainer who ever lived but, per Dave, one of the best persons as well.
Backed by the CVI band, Brian Andrews performs as Elvis Wednesday
through Saturday in the Cabaret Lounge twice each night with Dave's Q &A
sessions in-between. A jam session
featuring fifties and sixties music and plenty of Elvis tunes wraps up each
night. Be sure to check out all the Elvis Week activities on our web site.
Here's the straight scoop on
the Progressive Pro Pick'em contest: We had one winner during the regular season, the pot is back up
to $4,360 and we have to (MUST is a better way to say it) give away the
progressive jackpot by Super Bowl weekend at the latest. The special $5 parlay
card has 15 picks for the four NFL games this Saturday and Sunday. We are
really trying to make it easy – picks include Winners, First Half Winners (first
half ties win both ways), First Score type (touchdown or field goal) and Over/Unders
(we made 'em even numbers so if the score lands on that number, both bets win).
Play as many cards as you want for just $5 each . . . pick 'em all and win the
jackpot (ties split)! If the Progressive doesn't hit this weekend, the pot
increases based on the number of bets this week and we'll put it out again next
week for the Conference Championships. Entries are accepted until 8 a.m. Sunday
during any hours the Sports and Race Book is open at the Carson Valley Inn or
Bodines Casino. Complete contest details are available at the Inn's Sports
and Race Book.
