You Are Getting Sleepy! Sorry, every hypnotist is expected to say
those four words so we used them as a lead into this story: Comedy
Hypnotist Chris Cady will be performing in the Valley ballroom on Wednesday
night, February 17 . . . The doors open at 7:00, the show starts at 7:30 p.m.
and the price is the same whether you sit in the audience and watch, or
volunteer to be up on stage to be hypnotized: just $15! It’s certain to be an
unpredictable and boisterous evening of most-unusual entertainment and you can
buy tickets at the hotel desk or call 775-783-6606. 21 or over for this show.
Your eyes are getting heavy, very heavy . . .

Crossing the Aisle in the Valley Ballroom:
 |
| Congressman Joe Heck |
- Thank you to the Douglas County Democratic Party for holding their 1st in the West Rural Blue Dinner here last Saturday. What a great turnout and we really appreciate the business.
- Our apologies to the Douglas County Republican Party for not mentioning your big upcoming event when we covered a few of the upcoming community events happening at the CVI a couple of weeks ago in our blog. So, here it is: on Sunday, February 14 the 2016 Douglas County Republican Central Committee Lincoln-ReaganDinner will again fill our Valley Ballroom. The keynote speaker is Congressman Joe Heck, candidate for the U.S. Senate. Word is that Congressman Mark Amodei, United States Representative for Nevada's 2nd congressional district will also make a few remarks. Click here for more information.
- We invite anyone running as an Independent to hold a big political fundraising event in our Valley Ballroom. That will allow us to claim an extra merit badge by being tri-partisan vs. the usual bi-partisan!

Skip Work and Come to the CVI? This would have
been good advice for some people during January when you could say that CVI
casino players experienced a “Perfect 10!” In addition to the 100+ cash prizes
we gave out in the first four weeks of our $75,000 King of Cash Giveaways, we
also paid out ten slot jackpots of $10,000 or more. Add all that to the many other
jackpots of less than $10,000 and we get back to our original premise that, for
some, it would’ve been more profitable to spend 40 hours a week playing the
slots here at the CVI than going to work! While we’re on the subject, this article from a year ago delves into the whole
concept of making the Monday after Super Bowl a national holiday. The theory is
that so many people wind up “calling in sick (which, frankly, doesn’t fool any
employer) anyway . . . Well, you get the point.
Free Cabaret Lounge Entertainment: The
Jonny Smokes one man band
show is here tonight, After Dark entertains Thursday through Sunday, Melissa Dru and her band take the cabaret
stage on Saturday afternoon for our Tailgate Party, and Steve Lord returns Monday through Wednesday. The high energy of the After Dark Band will have you up and dancing
and singing along with the guys! Their “must not miss” show is filled with the
songs you know and love and the energy of the group creates a party just
waiting for you to join in. With Bernie DeLaCruz and Dave Vasquez on guitar,
Dustin Taunton on bass, Don Peterson on drums and Scott Anderson on vocals this
award winning band will get you rockin’!
Race
and Sports Book:
- Guaranteed $5,142 Pro PK’EM Progressive Jackpot! We’ve come to the end of the football season with money still in the “pot” so we are guaranteeing to give away the $5,142 Pro PK’EM Progressive Jackpot after this Sunday’s Game!! We have a $5 parlay card out with 15 prop bets on the Super Bowl Game. The props are easy to understand like over or under on largest lead of the game or longest field goal of the game, does the team that scores first win the game, etc. This Part Is Very Important: Whoever gets the most of the15 picks correct wins! No rollover to next week – the $5,142 has to go . . . so please do not throw away your ticket. We will go through all the tickets on Monday and, depending on how many have piled up from the CVI, Bodines Casino and Sharkey’s Casino, we should know by the end of the day the number of tickets with the most correct picks - could be one ticket, could be five tickets. If it is more than one, the pot is split. We have no way of knowing who has the winning ticket(s) . . . it’s kinda like the lottery except a lot less zeros at the end of the jackpot amount! As a convenience to those who do play tickets, we’ll post the number of correct picks it took to win the jackpot on this page on our website as soon as we are done tabulating!
- This week you can watch and bet the Super Bowl, Horseracing, NBA and College Basketball and NHL Hockey. We are also taking action on Saturday’s Johny Hendricks vs. Stephen Thompson UFC fight and some of the undercard fights.
- Mike’s horse Casino Fever won the 3rd race at Santa Anita last Saturday with Martin Pedroza on board.
