Join the Never-A-Dull-Moment
Casino World
Sometimes we
sit around pondering some of the things we see or hear at our properties and
marvel at how many "just when we thought we've seen everything"
experiences we have. And before you judge, most of the time it's really good,
heartwarming, humorous or entertaining. We'd like to promise you working
at one of our properties promises never a dull moment, but no job (at least in our area) can make
that guarantee. On the other hand, there's always something new to learn,
experience or contribute in the casino business so why not consider being part
of this scene. If you're in the Carson City area, come to the job fair today (2
to 7 PM) and Thursday (9 AM to 2 PM) at Slot
World on Hwy 50 East where we are hiring for most positions at that
location and some at Bodines Casino.
If you're more interested in a position in the Carson Valley, check our web site for these openings at the Carson Valley Inn and Sharkey's Casino.

Pasta, Chocolate and More
 |
| CV Steak Molten Lava Kahlua Cake dressed up like a Chocolate Mousse for Halloween |
- Today is World Pasta Day. Works out pretty good for us because all three of the $6.99 Italian Specials in Katie's tonight happen to include pasta! Or, slip into CV Steak where our pasta entrées include Mushroom Ravioli (also available as an appetizer portion), Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, Seafood Linguine and Spaghetti Pomodoro.
- Friday is Cranky Coworkers Day. Our approach? Just give 'em a wider berth today (quick, duck around the corner, here comes one now!) and don’t give them any of your chocolate.
- Saturday is National Chocolate Day (saw that coming, huh!) Last we counted there are over a dozen chocolate options between the desserts in Katie's and CV Steak and the offerings in Job's Perk. Our favorite? It’s a coin toss between the Molten Lava Kahlua Cake in CV Steak or a Mini Chocolate Cream Pie from the Katie’s Bakery Counter . . . or maybe the CV Steak Chocolate Mousse . . . or a couple of the Chocolate Brownies from Katie’s and large glass of milk . . darn, we just gained 7 pounds thinking about it!
- Sunday is National Oatmeal Day. Sure we serve hot oatmeal in Katie's but we think it would be hypocritical to even mention it considering all the chocolate desserts we just covered. So, we’ll bail out by reminding you that we also sell Oatmeal Cookies at the Katie’s Bakery Counter.
To the Skies One More Time

Football and Other Sports Info
- Our Guys Picks: Each of our “professional” (check their records!) sports prognosticators went 1 & 1 last week. It could have been better, it could have been worse. This week Greg (5 & 9 overall) loves the Arizona Wildcats +3 against Washington St. and the Jets +4 versus the Falcons. Mike (8 & 6) is also going with two dogs, Penn State at + 6½ against Ohio State and TCU at -6½ visiting Iowa State. Alan (7 & 7) likes two favorites, the Eagles at +13 against the Niners and USC at -3 vs. Arizona State.
- Enjoy $2 Draft Beer during all televised Pro and College football games at the CVI - and our staff will bring your bar bites order right to your seat.
- The Progressive Pro PK'EM is at $3,320 this week. Cards are just $5 each!
- NFL hats, tee shirts, Budweiser merchandise and other prizes are given away in drawings during Monday Night Football at the CVI. Also, three tickets are distributed each week for the Ultimate Tailgate Party package which will be given away during the Monday Night Football game on December 18.
- Monday Night Football Grid in our poker room every week – we start with $160 each week and add in any unclaimed prizes from the previous week. Last week all four prizes went unclaimed (gotta be here on Monday to win) so we’re giving away $80 for each of the first three quarters and the final score . . . earn entries during live poker games ‘til all squares are claimed.
- Place Your Bet: Place your bets on the World Series, Pro and College Football, NHL Hockey, NBA Basketball, Horse Racing and the NASCAR First Data 500 at the Martinsville Speedway this Sunday. Some of the futures on the board include winners for the 2017 NASCAR Monster Energy Cup, 2018 Super Bowl, 2018 NCAA Basketball and Football Championships, 2018 NBA Championship and 2018 NHL Stanley Cup.
- Sports tickets can be cashed-in at Guest Services when the Sports Book is closed. Horse Race tickets can be cashed only when the Race and Sports Book is open. Winning sports bets placed at any of our three casinos (CVI, Bodines and Sharkey’s) can be cashed at any of the three locations.
Patrick
Major tonight, Buddy Emmer Band Thursday - Saturday, NFL Football on Sunday
and Monday and Chris Twomey Tuesday
and Wednesday. Patrick Major has
his own mix of original guitar and vocals combined with rock classics from the
last four decades. The Buddy Emmer Band is a longtime favorite on
the West Coast and Northern Nevada circuit.
The group’s versatile style includes everything from blues to jazz, rock
to reggae and top 40. Whatever your taste in tunes they will be sure to please!
Chris Twomey’s roots are deep into a
genre of folk-rock. From 2Me to The Diva
Kings to Dad's LPs to whatever is next!
In the Casino
- Penny Progressive: The jackpot is now over $64,000 and that's a pretty good jump from last week as play continues to increase at all three of our properties; the CVI, Bodines Casino and Sharkey’s Casino. It's a natural occurrence as progressive jackpots increase: the higher the jackpot climbs, the more attention and play it attracts and the faster it grows. While the odds of winning the jackpot are the same on every "pull," the likelihood of someone hitting it definitely goes up as the number of pulls increases. That's enough theorizing – the bottom line is you can't win this jackpot if you're not playing!
- Ladies’ Night Tonight: Join us 5:30 to 8:30 PM tonight with a free Chocolate Shoppe Treat for the first 150 ladies and Chocolate Shoppe Gift Baskets as hot seat prizes. Also tonight: games, drink specials, FREE Bingo and your last chance to earn entries for tonight’s 8 PM drawings for a Free $500 Shopping Spree!
- VIP Gifts Thursday: free VIP Gift Giveaways at 2, 4, 6 and 8 PM!
- Friday Giveaway Drawings: Join us at 5, 7 & 9 PM for up to $10,000 in Cash and Free Play!
- 5X Points Saturday: That’s five times the benefits for your play all day this Saturday.
- Grand Prize Drawings Saturday: Bonus drawings for Cash and Free Play this Saturday at 6 & 8 PM in the finale of our October casino promotion.
- Scratcher Drawings Sunday: the drawings are at 6 and 8 PM and this one’s for the many local Inn Club members who received an October mailer with Mystery Multiplier Scratchers. Be sure to use your Inn Club card whenever you play in the casino and you might just be on the list for future monthly mailers.
- 5X Points for Halloween: Another chance to scare up five times the benefits for your play all day on Tuesday – and keep an eye out ‘cause there’s no telling how some of our fellow employees might be cleverly costumed on Halloween!
