JANUARY VEGAS PROMOTIONS

Recovering from celebrating the new year? Or, perky today because you celebrated, like we did, by sleeping in the arrival of 2015?

In any case, whenever you start thinking about Las Vegas casino promotions, here is a selection of food and gaming offers you might want to consider.

 

SOUTH POINT

SILVERTON

See http://www.silvertoncasino.com/gaming/vegas-casino-promotions.aspx#jackets for gaming promotions, including “Jackets in January” on selected dates and BOGO buffets on Thursdays.

 

TUSCANY

See January promotions at http://www.tuscanylv.com/packages-en.html. The all-month senior discount of 20% moves to the Cantina this month.

 

PALMS

“Play for Prizes” is running as usual Monday through Friday.  The first period is January 5-16, featuring Lowe’s gift cards.  The second is January 19-30, when you can play for T.J.Max gift cards, which can also be used at Marshalls and HomeGoods.  Redemption times are the same as usual, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.-10 p.m., and Fridays 10 a.m.-midnight.

Gift days for January are the 4^th, 11^th, and 18th.  To earn the gift-of-the-day, you need 100 base points on video slots or 500 base points on video poker between 12:01 a.m. and 6:59 p.m.

Weekly drawings continue at 7 p.m. on Fridays.  (Earn 2x entries Fridays 4 p.m.-6:30 p.m.)

A rumor from Robin Leach – http://www.lasvegassun.com/vegasdeluxe/2014/dec/23/they-have-great-wings-hooters-en-route-palms/: A Hooters restaurant will be going in the space where originally Gardunos used to be, and it will spread out and absorb the Back Room Burger area beside the pool.

 

ELLIS ISLAND

Dollar Menu during all NFL playoff games.

Drink of the Month is “Winter Spiced Ale.”

 

BOYD PROPERTIES (Sam’s Town, The Orleans, Suncoast, and Gold Coast)

Gold Coast continues their Mondays Senior Bonus Days with specials and promos for slot club members 50 and over, including 10x slots/5x VP multiples.   You can find offers/promotions at Gold Coast at http://www.goldcoastcasino.com/whats-new/promotions.  Check each casino website for other property-specific promotions.

The Jackets-for-Jackpots promotion has had a change in dates – I imagine some of the jackets didn’t come in on time.  Suncoast still is the whole month of January.  The other 3 don’t start this promo until January 15 and it goes through February 12^th.  Here are the nitty-gritty details and be aware they aren’t the same for all four casinos:   http://static.boydgaming.net/boydgaming/media/downloads/2015-JacketsForJackpots-Rules.pdf.

 

STATIONS CASINOS

It has been reported that their senior program is changing starting in January, same day but with a new name: “My Generation Wednesdays.”  Their website has not been updated yet to show January benefits, but you need to check in advance to be sure you aren’t blindsided by new changes.
