Great Night in Store for 38 Special Concert
Looks like we couldn’t ask for better weather as we mark the last day
of summer with our 38 Special Concert
this Friday in TJ’s Corral. Might want
to bring a sweater or light jacket as it could be a little chilly by the time
the concert winds down and, we do have a no-reentry policy. Otherwise, we’re looking for spectacular skies and a
great finale to our 2018 Concert Series. It’s not too late to get tickets
either on
our website or in person at the Hotel
Front Desk. Get yourself in the mood for
the concert, check out this great
article posted by Tahoe Onstage which also includes some throwback to the 38 Special’s last appearance in TJ’s
Corral in 2015 (see the picture above). Want a refresher on the top hits by 38
Special? Check out these 10
Essential 38 Special Songs as compiled
by Classic Rock History.
Live Comedy Details Set
Last week we announced that Core 4 Comedy is coming to our Valley
Ballroom on Saturday, November 10 with Host Jeff Anderson, Special Guest Luke
Westberg, Feature Act Andy Picarro
and Headliner Brian Lee. Tickets are on sale for just $20 and we hope you’ll act soon as the Valley Ballroom has
considerably less capacity than TJ’s Corral! We’ll be gaining a personal
insight into what the night will bring when Brian Lee visits with us next
Wednesday to “check out” the layout of our Valley ballroom. So watch for more
information in our blog the first week in October but meanwhile get your tickets now either online or at our hotel desk for this fun Veterans Day weekend
comedy show!

| Four "Ripe" Jackpots at the CVI |
Hit the Jackpot at the CVI
When the Penny Progressives Jackpot topped $40,000 earlier this week we went
snooping in the casino to see what else was getting ripe. We found the
Locomotive Grand Jackpot at over $13,000,
the giant Buffalo Stampede jackpot in excess of $26,000 and the Fort Knox Progressive had topped $15,000. These are just some of the
jackpots that are “getting’ up there” . . . there are plenty of others! Will you be our next 5-figure winner?
Wine, Music and Sharkey’s
The season’s final Third
Thursday Wine Walk is this week and it looks like temperatures will be in the low 80s
for start time at 4 PM. Sip ‘n’ Sounds is the theme and various musical groups and soloists
will be performing at a few outdoor locations along Highway 395 including the
Stratton Center, Mid-Town Center West and Mid-Town Plaza East. Naturally,
Sharkey’s casino will be glad to fill your official wine walk glass when you
stop by the Silver Dollar Bar. Might want to plan on grabbing dinner at
Sharkey’s and then crossing the street to Heritage Park where
the “False Rhythms” Reggae band will be performing and free dessert
will be served as Main Street Gardnerville celebrates their 10th Anniversary
starting at 7:30 PM. Need a seat to watch the band? Sharkey’s will be
distributing a limited number of fold-out chairs while the supply lasts to
official Wine Walk participants . . . so get to Sharkey’s early!
This Picture is Not Upside-down
There are a variety of acts joining U.S. Navy Blue Angels at the Aviation Roundup at Minden-Tahoe Airport in October and none is more
“interesting” than the performance by Aaron Fitzgerald in the Red Bull BO-105
fully aerobatic helicopter. Quite an unusual sight to see a helicopter flying
upside down . . . Most pilots will tell you it isn’t even possible. All this
and more will fill the skies of Carson Valley on Saturday and Sunday, October
13 and 14 and now is the time to buy tickets either online at this
link or at the Raley’s Gardnerville store!
