September still has plenty of deals to offer players

At the Vegas Club, all players hitting a jackpot of $200 or more can select a key (from a selection of 100) and try to open a box containing a minimum of $1,000.

Both the Gold Coast and the Suncoast are offering $1,000 guaranteed bingo coveralls at their 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Sunday sessions. Today and Saturday, the Gold Coast is offering $1,000 coveralls at the 7 p.m. sessions and the Suncoast is offering the same at the 9 p.m. sessions.

The wallet promotion concludes this weekend at the El Cortez. All Jackie’s Cortez Club members hitting a $200-plus slot jackpot or a $300 video poker jackpot can pick up a wallet containing between $10 and $1,000 in free play.

Throughout October, members of the 1906 Club (the Golden Gate players club) earning 300 points ($300 coin-in; no point redemption required) in one day can receive a Halloween witch collectible. Members also can redeem lots of 300 points to draw for between $20 and $1,000 instant cash, free room nights or dinner for two.
