Sister is Making
Her Way Here for
Easter Catechism
Easter Catechism
We caught up with Sister by
phone earlier this week in Ft. Worth. She is slowly making her way to Minden as she travels through the
country spreading her Sister's Easter Catechism message. She'll have a few words by video in next week's blog for those
who have not yet purchased tickets. So, don't run the risk of getting “called
out” and get your tickets now for this hilarious and tastefully irreverent comedy
show on Saturday, April 20 in our Valley Ballroom. Either stop at our front
desk while you are at CVI or purchase them online at this link.
Another Wild Saturday Night!
What a commotion in the casino last Saturday in the weekly drawing for
our Rent Money Giveaway!! Stephen Figueroa was in visiting with his
in-laws who were staying in the hotel.
He was one of our Hot Seat Winners earlier in the evening and chose the
Porter Cable Shop Vac because he knew would get good use out of it. As luck
would have it, the box was marked to “advance to the 7:30 drawing.” Stephen had that winning feeling so he went
up to the pool to tell his wife he’d have a chance to win $5,000 at 7:30. Not
realizing his chances had risen to one in ten by then, she just laughed and
said “good luck.” Come the 7:30 drawing
all ten of the qualifiers were standing in front of a table with chocolate
discs in front of them. On the count of 3 they all picked them up and – with his
father-in-law, mother-in-law & two sisters-in-law cheering him on – well watch
the video above for the hoots, hollers and cheers! Our Rent Money Giveaway
Promotion continues through April - will you be next!

| Fred Mason Fanning Out Some of His Winnings |
“I got into a
bonus and started getting extra spins . . . I watched as the amount kept
climbing and got up to over $10,000 – Sure was exciting and fun!” So
said Fred Mason after winning $10,231 on our Wonder 4 Wonder Wheel
slot last Saturday. Fred is a long-time regular at our winter and
summer CVI Sporting Clays events. He also visits the CVI over a dozen more
times each year when attending other sporting clays events at the nearby Carson
Valley Clays Club. According to Fred,
“I’ve won before and I know I’ll win again!”
