Fiestas offer $500 NBA contest on Fridays
Every Friday throughout the NBA season, Fiesta Rancho and Fiesta Henderson are offering a Friday Hoops Contest paying $500 to the top picker (against the contest line for Friday’s games). Second place will receive $250, third place $150 and the fourth winner will get a $100 dining coupon. Both properties combine to give one set of prizes, and all bets must be made on Friday to be eligible.
Sam’s Town Prime Reward members earning 350 points ($350 coin-in; no point redemption required) can pick up a free glass Christmas plate (choice of different designs in red or blue) while supplies last. There is a limit of one plate per day, but additional plates can be purchased for either 7,000 points or $7.
On Monday and Wednesday, all Cannery players earning 350 points ($350 coin-in; no point redemption required) can receive a Handy Bag Sealer. Those earning 600 points are eligible for a radio-controlled car, and if you earn 900 points, you can pick up both gifts.
At today’s 7 p.m. bingo session, Fiesta Rancho is offering four $1,000 coveralls.
Every Wednesday at 6 p.m., Planet Hollywood Resort draws eight names to receive eight to 88 free pulls on a Megabucks machine. Please check with the casino regarding how to earn entries.
We received several angry calls and e-mails regarding the Hooter’s Hotel’s new member promotion we reported on last week. As you recall, the promotion gives new members (former San Remo card holders are excluded) $100 in free play on “selected machines.” It appears that these selected machines only pay cash if you hit one of the three top awards. The rest of the awards on these machines consist of only more additional free play. One reader told us that he played for more than three hours and neither he nor anyone around him received any money. Many of those who wrote us said that the coupons distributed through the promotion (including a $25 matchplay and a free show) were very good.
