Well it looks like some of you will be venturing to Laughlin in mid-August. Some of you might even get out of the host casino. Anyway the best reference of what is going on down by the river still is the Laughlin Entertainer magazine. Online- www.laughlinentertainer.com . River Palms stuff- Their main August promo is to put 250 points (@ $5/pt) on your card to activate the kiosk driven whack at cash. Just do it by midnight and make sure the chit is actually yours. It could be stuck in the shoot. Food promos- put on 50 points and get the chit for $2.99 ribs, 10 points for the $1.22 breakfast or 100 points for the half price buffet. But RP has decided to be butt-heads about paying the balance with your banked comp account. So be prepared to pay with real money. Just what are they thinking? These chits are good for 48 hours, but must collect the day of earning. Friday is assorted logo item day. Earn the required points and help RP clean out the promo closet. They still are doing the second royal promo adds 500 coins. *** The Golden Nugget, which is next door to RP is finally understanding how Laughlin works with food deals and promos. The coffee shop, Harlows, is doing midnight to 6am specials on Tues-Thurs...Four Deuces, Ham or Steak and eggs with a deep discount. They are doing a free midnight-6am VP tourney too giving away $400 (250, 100, 50) playing 9/6 Jacks for 100 hands/five minutes. This is Sunday to Thursday. What is goofy is you can't collect until 11pm the next night. They are also doing a Mon-Wednesday slot tourney, but you need qualifying play. The best August promo for a big pay-off is at the Riverside. They are celebrating their 41st birthday giving away $41k every Wednesday. Two $10,250 winners at 1pm and 6pm. Riverside is a gamblers place...no drawing tickets for eating, sleeping or breathing. The only way to earn tickets this time is 100 points ($500 coin-in) on machines or $15 min. suited BJs. Must collect daily maximum 50 tickets in a day. This is a straight-forward no BS promo. -jacks
