Rock 'n' Roll for the 4th - Join Us!

I ❤ Rock 'n' Roll

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2015 and her induction speech by Miley Cyrus was quite entertaining!! The band’s Hall of Fame performance with Tommy James, Miley Cyrus and Dave Grohl (video above) was rock at its finest! Joan Jett and the Blackhearts have had eight platinum and gold albums and nine Top 40 singles, including the classics “Bad Reputation,” “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll,” “I Hate Myself For Loving You,” and “Crimson and Clover.” A version of “I Hate Myself for Loving You” was reworked for NBC’s Sunday Night Football theme song, “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night,” and was performed for 9 seasons by the likes of Pink, Faith Hill and Carrie Underwood. Relive all these hits and many more when Joan Jett and the Blackhearts provide the Independence Day “fireworks via rock ‘n roll” this Thursday, July 4 in TJ’s Corral. Following Joan we have Dwight Yoakam on July 26 (Sold Out), Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo on July 31, Martina McBride on August 4 and Loverboy on August 9. Tickets and more information for all concerts are available at This Link and be sure to check next week’s blog and follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for additional concert news.

TJ’s Corral Concert Throwback

The first week in July has brought a variety of music genres to TJ’s Corral in past years. The sounds of country filled the stage when Tanya Tucker performed on July 3, 2015. Hard-driving rock ‘n roll marked Independence Day last year with Ted Nugent. And the Motown sound of The Spinners took the spotlight on July 8, 2017.

Uncle Kracker a Hit!

“What a good night with Uncle Kracker and his talented band” said photo journalist Pheonix Gruneich in her review of last Saturday’s Uncle Kracker Concert in this article and pictures posted in Tahoe OnStage.

Judy wanted to take the cruise but after discussion with Greg decided to “cash out!” Collectively, the couple walked out with a nice pile of cash (mostly) and FreePlay!

Stranglehold on Concert Tickets, Cash is King, Our Beautiful Town

Stranglehold on Concert Tickets!

Could be the artists. Could be the pent-up desire for entertainment. Could be the “word” is out on the incredible setting and ambience of TJ’s Corral for a concert. Probably a combination of all this and more that’s putting a “Stranglehold” on tickets and producing sellout crowds for our outdoor concerts this year. Granger Smith was sold out, Clint Black was sold out, a handful of standing room tickets remain for Ted Nugent tonight, and Trace Adkins is already sold out for July 14. For all this we offer our sincere thanks! This type of support, especially with all the other concerts going on in Northern Nevada, is so encouraging and already has us planning for more new entertainment during the 2019 season!

Moving ahead to our last scheduled concert of the year, we have tickets available for the Creedence Clearwater Revisited performance on Sunday, August 12. Rock out to Creedence tunes, join us post-concert in the casino and spend the night! Rooms are available that night in both our Hotel and Motor Lodge with rates starting at $99. Purchase concert tickets through our website which allows you to view the seating layout map and select your seat. You can also buy tickets in person at the Hotel Front Desk. Reservations for the Hotel, Motor Lodge and RV Park can be made on our website or by calling 775-783-6629.

Looking Back at Clint Black Last Friday: Great review and pictures by Pheonix Gruneich of Tahoe Onstage at this link . . . Thanks to Clint who tweeted to CVI, “Many thanks! Great crowd, great staff to work with at the venue!” . . . and our thanks for the many, many positive post-concert comments on social media!

James Mabe with Cash and Check Totaling over $73,000!

This Cardiologist Visit Was Really Good!

Yesterday’s visit to the cardiologist was over $70,000 to the “good” for James Mabe. A Smith Valley rancher, James said he only plays the Penny Progressive slots when he stops by the CVI. At other times of the year, he stops in more often. However, since it’s the heart of haying season, his visits are fairly scarce this time of year. Yesterday was an exception, however, as he had a cardiologist appointment. With most of the day shot due to the appointment, he decided to stop by the CVI and invest a couple of hundred dollars trying for the penny progressive. His investment paid off to the tune of $73,686! Not sure that spending the day haying yesterday would've paid that much!

Patrica (l) and Dana & Jane (r) Show Off $7,500

You’d Think We’d Know by Now . . .
Cash is King!

Four lucky winners had a decision to make last Saturday. At the Carson Valley Inn and Sharkey’s Casino, the choice was a brand new Jet Ski perfect for the hot days of July and August . . . or $7500 in cash. Both Vanessa (Sharkey’s) and Jane (CVI) took the cash! At Bodines Casino and Slot World Casino, winners were given the choice between a new ATV for exploring the miles and acres of hills and trails in our area . . . or $7500 in cash. Both Karen (Bodines) and Patricia (Slot World) took the cash! $30,000 in one night – nice haul for our players! During July we’re cutting right to the chase and giving our casino players a shot at a total of over $40,000 in various Progressive Cash Giveaways at the four properties including $15,000 up for grabs right here at CVI!

Chicken & Chocolate!

Lots of Chocolate at CVI for
Chocolate Day on Saturday

Friday is Fried Chicken Day. The good news is that we offer a Southern Fried Chicken Breasts Plate every day in Katie's. The great news is our $5.99 Chandler Chicken Dinner Special every Sunday from 2 to 10 PM! This top-selling special has an almost cult-like following with many repeat customers who not only enjoy this exceptional value, but also sometimes table hop to visit with other Sunday "Chandlerites!"
Saturday is Chocolate Day. We have plenty of chocolate choices at the CVI with rich chocolate-desserts in CV Steak, chocolate fudge cake in Katie's, chocolate fudge brownies and chocolate chip cookies at the Katie's Bakery Counter, chocolate topped pastries in Job's Perk and everything in between. And, as a special treat on Saturday, start the day with the chocolate chip pancakes special!
Want to Combine Fried Chicken and Chocolate? A little off our usual course, but there is a recipe for Chocolate Fried Chicken in this YouTube video!

Concerts in Minden Park Help Make Minden a Special Place

We're Proud to Be in Minden!

Seems like one of those "best," "prettiest," "most affordable," "most expensive," " most whatever" lists comes out every week. Usually it's the headline in an online news source or a social media luring you into scrolling through all 50 states and exposing you to many ads. Putting that aside, we were honored to have the Carson Valley Inn called out specifically when Minden was named Nevada's choice of Most Beautiful Small Towns in America by House Beautiful. The picture above is courtesy of the Carson Valley Visitors Authority and it depicts a typical reason why we are still so small-town-America – a moment from a recent GE Family Concert Series in Minden Park. These free concerts are proudly sponsored by the Carson Valley Inn and there’s another one this Friday evening when the Cripple Creek Band entertains with country music and southern rock.

In Our Restaurants

Wednesday is Italian Day in Katie’s – three specials for $6.99 each served from 11 AM to 10 PM! The Friday and Saturday night special in Katie’s is Roasted Prime Rib & Fried Shrimp for $14.99 served from 4 PM.

Jet Ski Guaranteed Saturday, $209,000 for Boys and Girls Club, Concert News, More

Clint Black Sold Out
Now What?!

Yep, the Clint Black concert is Sold Out this Friday night so we’ll start with a big Thank You for the incredible support we have received for our 2018 concerts! And, sorry, even all the standing room is sold out for Clint Black so there will not be any tickets available on a walk-up basis. So, now what? Your best bet for enjoying a 2018 concert in TJ’s Corral is to plan on the Creedence Clearwater Revisited performance on Sunday, August 12. We still have tickets available and here’s an unusual twist: we have room availability in both our Hotel and our Motor Lodge for that Sunday! So why not make a reservation for the hotel, come by early that Sunday and enjoy a dinner in Katie’s or CV Steak (be sure to make a reservation in CV Steak) and then catch the concert. If you have an extra day to spend, stay over on Monday night and enjoy the scenery and recreational activities available in our Valley. As for our other two concerts, there are still a few remaining tickets for Ted Nugent on Wednesday, July 4 and Trace Adkins on Saturday, July 14. . . but please act very soon. Purchase tickets through ourwebsite which allows you to view the seating layout map and select your seat. You can also buy tickets in person at the Hotel Front Desk.

As a reminder, backpacks, large handbags, chairs and pets are not permitted at CVI concerts. Also, please take your sweater in with you as there is no reentry.

$209,000+ For the Boys and Girls Club

Craps the Easy Way, Concerts Selling Out, Wine Walk on Longest Day, Coffee Carafes, More

Craps the Easy Way!

Craps is one of the most exciting casino games and, as a bonus, is the table game with the most favorable odds for the players. For some, it’s an adrenaline rush they totally understand. For others, it’s a something you watch from a few steps back because you’re either intimidated or haven’t had or taken an opportunity to learn in a non-intimidating environment. Wherever you fall in the spectrum, we now have the solution: our giant Craps machine just inside the front casino entrances ready for you to play 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Play for $1 (where can you do that on a live game!) or up to $200. Jump in while the game is already in action, grab a couple of friends and start your own action, or play on your own when no one else is around. As for learning the game, stop by when no one’s playing and use the various buttons on the left side to learn all about the rules, odds, and how you win or lose on any type of roll. Play the Pass Line, Field, Hard Ways or – for those who want to venture to the dark side – the Don’t Pass Line!

Clint Black Next in TJ’s Corral

A Few Standing Room Tickets
Remain for Clint Black June 29

Clint Black is next up on the TJ’s Corral 2018 schedule and the Friday, June 29 concert has less than 50 Standing Room tickets remaining. As a reminder, feel free to bring a blanket (no chairs) and relax on the slightly elevated grass area behind the seating section. If you’ve been to a TJ’s concert, you already know the grass area is pretty darn close to the stage. Following Clint, Ted Nugent rocks the TJ’s stage on Wednesday, July 4; Trace Adkins rolls in on Saturday, July 14 (limited tickets remain) and Creedence Clearwater Revisited wraps up the season (unless we add something that falls in our lap) on Sunday, August 12. Purchase tickets through our website which allows you to view the seating layout map and select your seat. You can also buy tickets in person at the Hotel Front Desk.

Wanna Work Part Time?
Or Full Time But Want Afternoons Free?

Are you sort-of retired but still want to work a couple of days a week to stay socially connected and earn a few extra bucks? Or, perhaps you are only available 4 hours a day and want to work during those free hours to maintain your sanity or save for a special purpose? Maybe you have restrictions on how much you can earn and a full time job would bust the limit? Whatever your situation, if you want to jump in on a part time basis we might just be able to accommodate your schedule! While we are looking to fill a number of full-time positions, some of our openings could also be perfect for reliable part-timers.
Here’s a possibility for anyone knowledgeable or experienced in baking . . . but you want or need the afternoons free: Our Baker’s Assistant position starts in the wee hours and you’re off for the day by noon . . . perfect for enjoying the outdoors, spending time with the kids, etc.
Check at this link for info on all of our open positions and feel free to call our HR folks at 775-783-6663 with any questions or to throw your hat into the mix for full or part time!

This Week’s Activities and Events

Swim a Lap, Workout, Soak!

Thursday is Daylight Appreciation Day which is a fancy way of saying the “longest” day of the year. Means there will be plenty of daylight for this month’s “Thirsty Thursday Wine Walk” in Gardnerville. Sip ‘n’ Show is this month’s theme and be sure to show us your official wine glass when strolling through Sharkey’s. Demont and his crew have a Free Sharkey’s T-shirt for all official wine walk participants during this week’s event.
Thursday is also World Music Day. Enjoy your favorite genre and “mark” the day by latching onto tickets for one or more of our four remaining concerts in TJ’s Corral!
Saturday is Swim a Lap Day. If that’s your thing, and you’re a guest in our Hotel, Motor Lodge or RV Park, jump into our indoor pool on the second floor and get started! Complete your workout on one of the treadmills or the multi-station weight machine in the adjacent fitness room and then wind down with a soak in one of the hot spas while taking in the mountain views.
Next Wednesday, June 27 is the All-American Blood Drive here at the CVI from 10 AM till 6 PM. The Bloodmobiles will be parked in our lot along Hwy 395 near the big electronic sign and you can get on the schedule by calling 800-696-4484 or click here to schedule online.

So Says Brittany M

Thanks, Brittany M! We don’t know what brought you here a couple of weeks ago, or what you thought you’d find in Minden, NV, but we’re sure appreciative of your kind remarks as posted on TripAdvidsor: “I stayed at the Carson Valley Inn with my 70 year old grandmother. My expectations were low for this trip. A casino/hotel in a small town? Cheap rooms? What am I getting myself into!? The room was clean. The beds were comfortable. The towels were well stocked. The water pressure in the shower was amazing! Every employee we encountered was friendly and accommodating. The casino staff went above and beyond to make my grandmother happy. Nohema, was working in the casino. She was gracious and friendly even when my grandmother was not. Taj was a fantastic cocktail waitress that made sure we were happy and my grandmother was well taken care of. The staff made this trip so enjoyable for us, and I hope to return soon. Thank you to all of the staff at the CVI for making sure we had a wonderful trip!” We hope you’ll visit again soon and enjoy our community again!

If we are so big on the World Cup matches, why do our numerous electronic boards at our Sports Book offer a meager, “Please Ask About World Cup Lines?” It finally gives us a chance to talk about soccer. Also, our system does not display 3-way lines very well. What is a 3-way line? That's a good question to ask the staff at the Sports Book!

In Our Restaurants
