On the Road Again, Wearin' A Rose in Sharkey's, Lightning Strikes Again, More from the Carson Valley Inn

On the Road Again
No . . .  this is not a hint that Willie Nelson is coming to TJ’s Corral . . . although that certainly would be exciting news! On the Road is the giant board game associated with the weekend drawings in our 3 Harleys and 7.5 Million Points promotion going on from 7 to 8:30 PM every Friday - and “again” on Saturday - through October 26. The fun ramps up as we pick ten winners in drawings every 15 minutes starting at 7:00 PM. Each of these folks receives two Golden Tickets for the grand finale Harley Giveaway on Wednesday, October 30. All ten also pick a custom cookie provided by The Chocolate Shoppe and if your cookie has the face of Deanna, Phil, Nick, Jessica or Paul you go on to the 8:30 PM On the Road board game. With Deanna at the mic, there are then six rounds of picking giant playing cards to see how far you advance on the game board . . . from as few as one space for an Ace, up to 10 spaces for a face card and 12 spaces for a Joker. There are minor free prizes along the way and a bonus prize for making it to the finish line. Over 150,000 Free Points are given away each night based on your order of finish including 50,000 Free Points to the first place finisher! Want in on the fun and Free Points? Simply use your INN Club card whenever playing at the CVI and listen for your name to be called starting at 7:00 PM this Friday and Saturday! Check at Guest services for all the promotion details.
On the Road Game Pieces



A Lady Walks into Sharkey’s Wearing a Rose . . .
Sip 'n' Sweets is the theme for the final Third Thursday Wine Walk in Gardnerville this week from 4:30 to 7:30 PM. And for any participating ladies who walk into Sharkey’s wearing a rose, we’ll know why – the first 50 ladies who check-in at one of the two start locations will receive a free rose courtesy of the event sponsor, Main Street Gardnerville (sweet, huh!) Get all the details at this link and be sure to walk through our sister property Sharkey’s Casino. We’ll “re-load” your commemorative glass at the Silver Dollar Bar during the walk . . . and provide you with an opportunity to chow down before, during or after the “Walk” with snacks at the Silver Dollar Bar and full dining in our Jackpot Café. Register in advance online or “day of” at the two check-in spots: Gardnerville Station (1395 US Highway 395 N) or Big Daddy’s Bicycles (1546 US Highway 395 N).

Michael & Darla Create Lightning!
Our Lightning Link Games continue to be enriching CVI players and a few days ago it was Michael (pictured above with his wife Darla) who cashed in. Darla is a fan of horses, and coincidentally (?)  Michael was playing the Best Bet horse race-themed Lightning Link game along the wall to the right as you come in the front casino entrance. Don’t know if the horse theme tied into the lucky outcome, but a $10,812 Jackpot was Michael’s payout on a 50-penny max bet!

RIP TJ’s Alum Eddie Money
Our thoughts go out to the family of Eddie Money who passed away last week. Eddie appeared in TJ’s Corral on June 21, 2014 as part of a fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club of Western Nevada, Carson Valley Branch. This Rolling Stone Article is a fitting summary of his career with links to some of his top hits videos.

This Week’s Promotions Lineup
  • Ladies’ Night Wednesdays: The fun runs from 5:30 to 8:30PM including a Free Pen & Meat Rub for the first 150 ladies (over 100 include FreePlay), Garden Gourmet Baskets as hot seat prizes. The ladies will also enjoy 3 free Bingo Games, 4 free Raffles and a weekly Drink Special!
  • Free Bingo Thursdays: Free Bingo Games in the casino every hour from 11 AM to 7 PM. Just be gaming with your INN Club card when we hand out tickets and play bingo with us for free cash and FreePlay Prizes.
  • Point Multiplier Fridays: Watch your benefits roll up quickly with Four Times Points all day every Friday in September. 
  • Harleys and 7.5 Million Points Friday and Saturday: We’re giving away 3 Harleys this fall – one each at CVI, Bodines Casino and SlotWorld Casino.  In the process, we are also giving away a total of 7.5 Million Points at our four properties. See the On the Road article above and get in on the drawings every Friday and Saturday!  
  • Point Party Sunday: You’ll be earning anywhere from 2X to 10X Points from noon to 7 PM with the point multiplier changing every half hour. We guarantee the 10X Points will run for 30 minutes at least twice every Sunday.
From the Sports & Race Book
  • We’ll be paying attention to this Phone Chatter:  We’re talking about the Phone Chatter Stakes at Los Alamitos this Thursday and we’ll have our eye on Quality Response, a 2-year-old filly with some very strong CVI ties!
  • And so after NFL Week Two:  
    • Mike’s Musings:
      • How is that possible - where are my chickens?  Two totals stood out on Sunday: The Packers/Vikings and Chiefs/Raiders. The Pack was up 21-10 at half as were the Chiefs 28-10.  Both of these games would surely make the over.  Well "Shirley," among the 4 teams, there were only 6 points scored in the second halves!
      • What does it mean, when a team has "no chance"?  Let’s put it this way: at what odds would you be willing to bet $20 the Dolphins will win the Super Bowl? 1,000:1? 10,000:1?  How about $100? 
      • The favorites went 7-9 against the spread in Week Two with 6 underdogs actually winning.
    • A few of us were pondering: Before the season started, who would have predicted that after two weeks, the Niners would be 2-0 after two east coast games as underdogs AND both the Jets and Steelers would be 0-2 and looking at a quarterback predicament! 
    • Our Pro Pick’em Progressive Jackpot is at $2,770 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 College and NFL 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. Payout is on the Monday Night Football Game - $40 cash to the winners of the first three quarters and the final score.
  • Seasonal Action on the board includes NFL and NCAA Football, Major League Baseball, Canadian Football, WNBA Basketball Playoffs, Horse Racing and this Saturday’s NASCAR Monster Energy Series Federated Auto 400.
  • Futures Bets on the board include: 2019 NASCAR Monster Energy Cup, 2019 World Series, 2020 NCAA Football Championship, 2020 Super Bowl (the Steelers and the Saints had significant movement this week . . . and the Niners also moved but in the other direction), 2020 NCAA College Basketball, 2020 NBA Championship and 2020 Stanley Cup.
Hot From the Bodines Pizza Oven!
Friday is Pepperoni Pizza Day and as we do each year, we encourage our readers to stop at our sister property Bodines Casino to enjoy a hand-tossed, made-to-order, piping hot Pepperoni Pizza just minutes out of the Bodines custom brick pizza oven!
Order one in the restaurant or do the pizza and beer scene while relaxing and watching football at or around the Bodines Casino Bar or Sports Book Bar!

Speaking of Carson Valley Ranches
We were quite surprised when we started assembling a list of the various ranches in the Carson Valley. We thought we’d be lucky if we could get to ten. As we started thinking about it and talking to some of the old-time locals, the list just kept growing and growing. We finally said “that’s enough” when we got to 20. Our list follows; for how many do you know the location? The history? The family? Be sure to tell us while visiting the Minden Moo this Friday and Saturday: Bently Ranch, Churia Holstein Ranch, Dangberg Ranch, Dressier Ranch (Dressler Ranch), Galeppi Ranch, Gansberg Ranch, Heise Ranch, Hussman Ranch, Jack's Valley Ranch (Ascuaga), Jacobs Family Berry Farm/Lampe Ranch, Mack Ranch, Neddenriep Ranch, Park Ranch, Ranch 1, Schwake Ranch, Scossa Ranch, Settlemeyer Ranch, Uhart Ranch, Van Sickle Station Ranch.
