Comedian Spotlight – Key Lewis
Four accomplished comedians are
entertaining in the CVI Valley Ballroom on Saturday, November 23 and we’ll be spotlighting
each of these talented make-you-laugh entertainers in our weekly blog prior to
show date. The Stand-Up Comedy Show includes Brian Lee, Carlos Rodriguez, Kris Tinkle and Key Lewis . . . and this week, Kris is in our spotlight!
Co-Feature comedian Key Lewis is
a high energy, improvisational, storytelling, multiple personality
nutcase! His comedic stories about his
childhood, family, and unusual views of relationships, make Key simply a joy to
watch. His ability to improvise and
interact with all types of crowds make this up and coming comic and actor one
to look out for. Key also served in the
United States Navy. He has appeared on Marlon Wayans’ TBS’s Funniest Wins, Kevin Hart’s One Mic Stand and Bill Bellamy’s Who’s Got Jokes!
Tickets are $20 and can be

Don’t Be Scared, Set Your Clock,
Come to Work for Us!
Come to Work for Us!
Actually,
the actions mentioned in the headline don’t directly relate to each other – but
they each independently relate to the CVI!!
- Thursday is our annual Employee Halloween Costume Contest. So Don’t Be Scared if the food server, bartender, guest services person or anyone else working at the CVI appears just a little unusual or out of normal character. He or she is just having a little fun and is also “in the hunt” for some cash prizes!
- Sunday
gets stretched out by 4% when we set our clocks back an hour at 2 AM. Just our
way of reminding you to do the same on those many watches, clocks (don’t forget
the vehicles), and appliances that don’t share the “smart” technology of our
phones and computers. How did this all start? How is it correctly spelled? Get
all the info here.
- When
you wake up on Monday after that theoretical additional hour of sleep, jump
into Job Action Day by checking out the available
positions
at the Carson Valley Inn, Sharkey’s Casino, Bodines Casino and SlotWorld
Casino. We have a few positions posted that don’t come up too often and we make
it easy for you to apply online!

Here's a special bonus for the winner of our daily

From the Sports & Race Book
- Breeders’ Cup
Weekend: Second only to the Kentucky Derby in
popularity amongst our Race Book fans, this weekend’s Breeders Cup offers $28 Million in prizes over the 14 races on Friday and Saturday. The
$6 million Longines Classic caps the weekend on Saturday at 5:44 PDT.
Among the “Classic” entries is McKinzie, the 4-year-old colt owned by
CVI’s owner Mike Pegram. For a quick-read on McKinzie's racing history namesake
and special tie to trainer Bob Baffert, check this article by Jay Privman in DFR.
- Sports Book Mike’s Musings:
- NFL favorites went 8-7 against the spread last week. Two of the dogs won.
- The big topic of debate on Monday: Sanchez butt fumble
or Mayfield
shovel pass? The Butt fumble from 2015 is probably more entertaining,
while last Sunday’s shovel has more of a "what the heck was that"
shock value. Definitely worth checking out both plays and drawing your
own conclusion. Interestingly, both plays were against the same opponent.
- At the moment, the College football playoffs looks to be Clemson, Alabama, LSU and the Big 10 Champs. Hard to see SMU, the Big 12 or Pac 12 jumping past the Alabama/LSU loser. Please note: this year's “game of the century” (LSU at Alabama) is Saturday, Nov 9th.
- Our Pro Pick’em Progressive Jackpot is at $3,580 this week. Pick all 15 NFL winners on our weekly $5 Parlay Card and it’s yours. Each week it is not “hit,” the jackpot climbs based on the collective contest play at the CVI, Sharkey’s Casino, Bodines Casino and SlotWorld Casino.
- Football Extras:
- $2
Coors Light draft
at the Casino Bar or in the Cabaret Lounge during all televised NFL and College
Games.
- A couple of Free NFL Hats given away for each of the teams playing every Monday Night Football Game.
- Bar Snacks Delivered to Your Seat while you watch or play. Get the full menu and pricing at this link!
- Poker Room Squares Pool: Earn squares as you play in live poker games during the week.
Each week we kick in $160 and the payout is on the Monday Night Football Game –
$40 to the winners of the first three quarters and the final score. Any
unclaimed quarters roll to the next week and for the November 4 Cowboys/Giants
game it’s at 85 a quarter!!
- Seasonal Action on the board includes NFL and NCAA
Football, Game 7 of the World Series, NBA Basketball, NHL Hockey, Canadian Football (week
21 of 21), Horse Racing and this Sunday’s NASCAR Monster Energy Series AAA Texas 500 at the Texas
Motor Speedway.
