"Gimme a Pound of Chicken Wings . . . and my buddy here will take a cheeseburger . . . And please ask the bartender to see if he can get the Steelers game on the third TV from the right." This is a typical scene in our cabaret lounge during NFL football season and we are ready to go!

• NFL hats, tee shirts, Budweiser merchandise and other prizes are given away in drawings during Monday Night Football at the CVI.

A New HDTV? Sure, I'll Take It!  For the remaining Mondays in September you’ll have the opportunity to win a new HDTV at 8 PM. The process is simple: you'll earn one virtual drawing ticket for every 5 points you accumulate each Sunday and Monday. Be sure to use your Inn Club card while you play, and perk your ears up when we start calling names at 8 PM Monday. When we find five folks who are present we’ll let you pick envelopes . . . four will have $50 free play and one will be for a new HDTV ready for you to load into your car, take home, set up, and start enjoying!

Live through this Saturday in our Cabaret Lounge - Free!

Free Entertainment in the Cabaret Lounge:  The Rye Brothers entertain tonight thru Saturday, NFL Football on the Big Screen is in the Cabaret on Sunday and Monday nights and Patrick Major plays next Tuesday and Wednesday.  The Rye Brothers are a “power-pop” country act, mixing contemporary country music and rock n’ roll guitar driven songs. The group is led by Paul Justin & Justin Foutz who trade off on the lead vocals and guitar licks. Paul and Justin formed Rye Brothers in the summer of 2015 and quickly added a solid rhythm section consisting of Jacob Delott (bass, backing vocals) and Jeff Sorenson (drums, backing vocals) to round out this Southern California based quartet. Click here for the upcoming lineup of free entertainment in the Cabaret Lounge.

Thank You! Last Friday 48 local donors gave 57 units of blood at the Hero’s Remembered Blood Drive. Per the folks at United Blood Services, this was a fantastic turnout for a Friday of a 3-day weekend . . . and the donations resulted in much needed blood being available for Northern Nevada patients.  Couldn’t make it to donate last Friday? Or, perhaps you’ll be ready to donate again in a few months?  The next bloodmobile trek to CVI is on Friday, December 9 in conjunction with the annual KTVN Share Your Christmas Community Food Drive.
