Something to look forward to. That’s what many of
us want during these unprecedented and trying pandemic times. We’ve been
sitting on a few concert announcements waiting for the time to be right but
that’s how people miss out on life - waiting for the time to be right. So,
we’re making a bold move today and unveiling two more TJ’s Corral
concerts for July with the optimistic view and
positive belief that “this too shall pass” and we’ll all be able to party again
soon.
This brings our lineup to five concerts so far. If all goes as
planned (a lot of moving targets these days) we'll announce another concert on
Monday. Watch for a special blog and also check our social media pages. Tickets
for these two new concerts will go on sale this Friday at 10 AM. Get more
details and read about the artists on this page. Stay safe. Be well.
Core 4
Comedy is coming to our Valley Ballroom November 10 with a night of hilarity showcasing four professional
touring comics including Host Jeff
Anderson, Special Guest Luke
Westberg, Feature Act Andy Picarro
and Headliner Brian Lee. Tickets will go on sale in the next few days and will be available online.
Headliner Brian Lee started doing stand-up
comedy in 2000 and has gone from being a 10-minute opening act to headlining
all over the United States and Europe.In
addition to being a veteran of the stage, he is also a Veteran of the U.S.
military.A combined 24 years between
the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy has given him quite a unique perspective and the
opportunity to perform around the world.Brian invites all military to join him in honoring our veterans at the
CVI on Veteran’s Day Weekend!
Brian’s motto has always been “talk about what you know,” and that’s
just what he does. Drinking, relationships, lousy day jobs, family life, more
drinking, and the possibility of a new religion are just a few of the topics
Brian tackles. Brian also takes audience participation to a new level with his
off-kilter game show, “Cerebral Punishment.” Brian is the co-founder of Core 4
Comedy, a.k.a. C4 Comedy which also includes the evening’s other three
performers.
38 Special Concert Almost Here
38 Special has a sound that Stephen Thomas Erlewine defines as
"halfway between country-fried blues-rock and driving, arena-ready hard
rock."Sounds like the perfect way
to describe their more popular hits which include "Caught Up in
You," "If I'd Been the One," "Back Where You Belong,"
and "Like No Other Night," Their hit ballad "Second Chance"
probably doesn't fall under that definition, but it certainly was a smash!All these and more will be on the playlist
when 38 Specialwraps up our 2018 Concert series in TJ’s Corral
on Friday, September 21. You can buy tickets on our website or in person at the Hotel Front Desk.
Aviation Roundup Just a Month Away
The 2018 Aviation Roundup at Minden-Tahoe Airport is just a month away and now is
the time to make your plans, get your tickets and start getting ready for a
very active weekend in the Carson Valley! The 30-second TV commercial above
will definitely get you in the mood . . . as will reading this article put together by the Carson Valley Visitors Authority
regarding the various acts. The Carson Valley Inn is proud to be a major
sponsor of this event and we hope you’ll join us in supporting this event with your attendance on one of the two days!
Sports Book - Mostly Football!
Reminder:
Enjoy $2 Domestic Draft Beer during all NFL games at the CVI. Our staff will bring
your bar
bitesorder to you right at your seat.
The
Progressive Pro PK'EM did not hit week one so it has incremented to $2,647 for this
week. Pick all 15 games straight up and the Jackpot is yours! If no one hits
the mark, the amount will increase again for next week.
Monday
Night Football Grid: We have a new one in our poker room every week and
you obtain squares by making various hands during the week in live poker games.
There’s a $40 payout for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters and for the final score.
You have to be present to win and any unclaimed winnings roll to the following
week. Last Monday, winner was not present the first quarter, and, believe it or
not, one person who had two different squares hit all three of the other
prizes. So, the first $40 rolls forward and this week’s squares are worth $50
each! Check the details on this page.
Our
Guys Picks: it was
an average week for three of our prognosticators going 1 & 1. Greg was the
shining star with a perfect 2 & 0 weekend.
Now it’s on to week two with Alan taking the Niners -5½ & the Chiefs
+5. Mike loves the over 71½ of the Houston – Texas Tech
game and the Oklahoma Sooners -18. Steve will ride with the Nevada Wolf Pack -4 and the Saints
-9. Mr. Perfect will play the Patriots -2½ and the Seahawk +3½.
Sports
and Race Betting: You can place and collect sports bets any time the Sports Book
is open at the Carson Valley Inn or Bodines Casino. At Sharkey’s and Slot
World, all sports betting is done at Guest Services. A winning sports
bet placed at any of our four casinos can be cashed at any of our four
casinos.Horse Race bets can only
be placed or cashed when the Race and Sports Book is open at CVI or Bodines
Casino.
What’s On The Board: This week you can bet NCAA and NFL Football, Major League Baseball, WNBA
Championship Games, Canadian Football League, Sunday’s NASCAR South
Point 400 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Horseracing. Futures
include winners of the World Series, NASCAR
Monster Energy Series, the NFL
Conference Championships, the 2019 Super Bowl, the 2019NCAA
Football Championship and the 2019 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
Just for Fun
The Smile that Comes Out with a $4,500 Win!
Tomorrow is Fortune Cookie Day. It is also Defy Superstition Day and Positive Thinking Day. So, we suggest you combine all three of these in whatever
manner you feel is best and plop down in front of one of our 20+ slots that
have the Fortune Cookie game option.
Forget your superstitions, think positively, and go for it! Not sure, but
positive thinking a couple of days early might be what Christine S (pictured)
did on Monday night when she won a $4,500
jackpot on one of our Triple Diamond Wheel of Fortune slots.
Saturday is Double Cheeseburger Dayand Tuesday is Cheeseburger Day. We're not sure why each of these configurations needs
its own "day" - nor are we sure why either one of them actually
needs a "day" - but we do have plenty of options for both every
day in Katie's!
Saturday is also Linguini Day. Our favorite, hands down, is the Seafood Linguini in CV Steak: shrimp, scallops, and diced lobster
with your choice of lemon butter sauce or spicy Pomodoro sauce. . . . A hearty
dish served with warm bread, and our tableside tossed House salad, of course!
Sunday is Guacamole Day. Since this falls between Double Cheeseburger DayandCheeseburger Day, either go back to basics and order avocado (the early
"stage" of guacamole) or our special guacamole "side" for
your burger!
Monday is Monte Cristo Sandwich Day. The Cook of Monte Cristo (whoever he was!) was reported
to have said, "There are two things man thought they could not improve on.
The Club sandwich, and French toast. Our culinary hubris was found in err when
the Monte Cristo Sandwich was invented.”We doubt there really is a "Cook of Monte Cristo" andwe double checked to make sure that
"hubris" was a real word and appropriate to the quote. Having said
that, celebrate the day by enjoying a Monte Cristo every in Katie's: A deep-fried
sandwich with ham, turkey, Swiss cheese, American cheese and syrup!

Which Would Your Choose: A New Harley or $10,000
October Rolls In Saturday – But First, A Harley? Two quick suggestions: First, don’t miss out on the Grand Prize Drawings this Friday at 6
PM and 8 PM our September Cash/Harley giveaway promotion. It’s all about the
Golden Tickets and the chance to win generous amounts of cash, free play and
even a brand-new Harley or $10,000! Second, Saturday brings October and new
casino promotions for you to enjoy so be sure to look through the In the Casino section
below as there just might be something there that catches your interest.
19 Bottled Beers at Bodines, Over a Dozen at CVI & Sharkey's, plenty of draft choices, what's that add up to?
Not Another Beer Day!!Not to be
confused with International Beer Day (August 5) or National Beer Day (April 7),
today is National Drink Beer Day. Turns out that according to one survey,
beer is America’s #1 social drink of choice (can you guess what came in second?),
Americans love domestic beer over imported beer by a 2-to-1 margin and some
states are more prone than others to have beer as the top drink to enjoy with
friends at a bar or other social venue. We started counting up how many different
bottled beers and draft beers we have between our two bars at the Carson Valley
Inn, the Silver Dollar Bar at Sharkey’s Casino and the Casino Bar and the Sports Bar at
Bodines Casino and . . . . well the total was close to one of the numbers inthis song!

battles Washington (4-0), midday Saturday Wisconsin travels to Michigan (both
