We Are Pretty
Progressive Around Here…
At least as it
relates to progressive slot jackpots! Our Penny
Progressive is now over $36,000 and it can be won for a 90-coin bet (less
than a buck!) here at the Carson Valley Inn, at Bodines Casino or at Sharkey’s
Casino. In addition to a slew of “system” progressives (industry lingo for
progressives that build, and can be won, at multiple casinos in the state), we
also have some growing progressives that can only be “hit” here at the CVI. As
of Tuesday, the Mega Jackpot on our Super
Sky Wheel was over $6,700, the Grand Jackpot on our Cash Locomotive videos
was over $14,600, the Lightning Link
Grand Jackpot was over $15,300 and the Behemoth
Buffalo Stampede Major Jackpot had topped $20,000.
Aviation Roundup: USAF Thunderbirds Right Here in Minden!
Lt. Colonel Jason
Heard will be leading the US
Air Force Thunderbirds during
their appearance at the Aviation
Roundup in Minden on October 7 & 8. Watch this CNN video
featuring Lt. Col. Heard as he talks about what it’s like to fly F-16's inches
from each other and what it takes to be on the elite Thunderbird team. This year's appearance by the Thunderbirds will have a major
difference from the 2015 show: the entire team will actually deploy from the
Minden Tahoe Airport which means their ground pre-departure show is part of
what you’ll be able to enjoy. Get your tickets itself at this link
and plan on joining us for what promises to be a top notch show also including
the U.S. Army
Golden Knights, the US
Navy F-18 Tac Demo Team, the Royal
Canadian Air Force CF-18 Demonstration Team and an all-star lineup of
civilian performers.

Our "Internal" Football Pick Contest 2017
We're set for some friendly competition between three of our CVI folks as they vie
for the “I can pick football better than
you can” award for the 2017 season. Stepping up to participate are Mike and
Alan from the sports book and Greg from the sales department. Each will pick
two games every week, college or pro, over/under or the winner against the
spread. For this first week, Greg picked West Virginia (+4½) over Virginia Tech and UTEP
(+44) over Oklahoma State. Mike went with Oklahoma State (-18) over Tulsa and Texas A & M (+4) over UCLA. Alan likes LSU (-16½) to top BYU and Michigan State (-17½) over Bowling Green. The stakes? You'll have to ask the guys!
- The 2017 Hope Motorcycle Rally will be at the CVI on Saturday, September 30 with proceeds benefiting cancer research and awareness for 3 great organizations: Prostate Cancer Foundation, The National Cervical Cancer Coalition and The Teal Foundation. We invite you to read more about this fundraiser put on by Indian Motorcycle and many of the enthusiasts who enjoy riding this iconic brand.
- The annual Bunko for Breast Cancer to benefit the Carson Tahoe Cancer Resource Center is also coming up on Saturday, October 14 at the CVI and you can sign up or get more information on this webpage or this Facebook Page – or click here to send an email with any questions.
Our Usual “This and
That” . . .
- Thursday is Diatomaceous Earth Day. We mention this for one superfluous reason and one very important reason: from the "why did you even say that" perspective, Diatomaceous is a 12 letter word and we are usually banned from using words that long in this blog. From the "oh, now I get it" point of view, Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is used in the filtering of beer, a liquid refreshment that becomes so prevalent during the fall football season.
- Friday is College Colors Day which, best we can determine, recognizes the extreme pride and zealous enthusiasm (and sometimes outright lunacy) exhibited by so many who attended college when the football season kicks off.
- Saturday is National Tailgating Day and we invite you to read about how this “day” got started. Shows you just about anybody can start a "National Day" for just about any reason. Also, and more directly, how appropriate for the first Saturday with a full slate of college football games!
- Tuesday is Be Late for Something Day and also Cheese Pizza Day. Our suggestion is to combine them both by spending an extra hour or two at Bodines Casino and enjoying a cheese pizza fresh out of Bodines brick pizza oven . . . with your favorite beer, of course! And, if you are then late for something, it's not your fault - you were justifiably celebrating a national day!
