I Love Rock 'n' Roll
The two longest running
number-one singles of 1982 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart were "I Love Rock 'n' Roll"
by Joan Jett and the
Blackhearts
and "Ebony and Ivory"
by Paul McCartney and Stevie
Wonder, which each stayed at the top for seven
weeks. The Jett hit ended the 6-week #1 run by "Centerfold" (The J.
Geils Band). You'll experience this rock classic and more eighties hits by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts when they appear in TJ's Corral on Thursday,
July 4! Tickets for our 2019 Concert and Event Lineup as announced so far are
available through our website starting on
this page and at the hotel desk. Join us for Easton Corbin on May 24, Uncle
Kracker on June 29, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts on
July 4, Dwight Yoakam on July 26 and Martina McBride on August 4.
Look for more concert announcements in
this blog which is updated every Wednesday morning at 7 AM.
Why Was
Sister Hitchhiking?
We were a little puzzled when one of our
regular Texas visitors sent us this picture from Ft. Worth on Monday (April 1.)
He asked sister what was going on and she said her aircraft had been grounded
but she was determined to get to Minden for her Sister's Easter Catechism shows in our Valley Ballroom on Saturday April 20. She found someone to
get her to Las Vegas where she has a few shows before heading our way and she
promises she’ll get here!! Seriously (to
the extent we can be serious with Sister involved), her performances will have you
laughing spontaneously as you relive the experiences of your own upbringing –
whatever religion was your umbrella. Get your tickets now for this hilarious
and tastefully irreverent comedy show either at our front desk while you are at
CVI or purchase them online at this link.
Poker Ladder & FreeRoll Tournament Returns
April marks the
return of our Poker Room’s popular $1,000 Free Roll Tournament Ladder
and here’s how it works: During April and May we’re keeping a separate tally of
all the Inn Club points players earn in the poker room. After the month gets
going, we'll start posting a leader-board each week – we call it the Ladder – so
everyone will have a chance to see where they rank as the next two months move
along. The top 40 people on the "Ladder" as of May 31 will qualify
for a free spot in the $1,000 Free Roll Tournament in June! Be sure to stop
in and check out all the Poker Room's special games and promotions.
