Time To Sign Up For Your Vegas Football Contests

September 1, 2010 at 12:36 PM | by Mr Pappagiorgio | 0 Comments

One guy that's happy the Wynn sportsbook is breaking out a fantasy football contest this year.

For true fantasy football freaks, one contest is not enough. If you missed last week’s SUPERDRAFT with Snoop you can still draft in style with Harrah’s Ultimate Weekend. But for the true freak, there are plenty other season long and weekly contests of all levels that will whet your pigskin.

THE RIDICULOUS:

Cantor Gaming’s High Stakes Football Contest
Where: M Resort
Cost: $100,000 per entry
Type: Pick 5 winners using point spread each week
Prizes: 1st: 70% of prize pool, 2nd: 20%, 3rd 10%
If you have 100K to blow and no desire for anything less than winning, this is obviously the contest for you and the ego. At least eight players have signed up already guaranteeing $560,000 for first.

More Pet-Friendly Places to Crash With Your Pet in Vegas

July 23, 2010 at 6:01 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

Pretty please will you bring me to Vegas with you?

While the Red Rock is no longer pet-friendly, there are still a few places to bring your furry friend along with you in Vegas. The The Westin Casuarina seems to be the only place on the Strip that takes pets (other places do allow service dogs) but you can find a few more hotels off the Strip.

Two Station Casinos, of which Red Rock is a part, take pets within a certain weight class for a non-refundable cleaning fee that varies from $40 to $50 a stay. Check out the pet policies here for Boulder Station and Sunset Station.

Meanwhile, Whiskey Pete's takes dogs up for 50lbs for $15 a night plus a $50 non-refundable cleaning fee. (But our tipster brings up a good point "You wouldn't stay there, so why let your pet?")

Despite Bankruptcy Filing, It's 'Business as Usual' at Station Casinos

July 28, 2009 at 7:03 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

Station Casinos, one of our reasons for staying off the Strip when visiting Vegas, has officially filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy today. The company owns and operates more than 10 properties, including a local's favorite, The Red Rock Resort.

The LVRJ reports:

The company said this morning that it has reached an agreement with its bank lenders to take the parent company and its noncasino subsidiaries, which include the company’s landholdings in Reno and other nongaming assets, into bankruptcy, Chief Accounting Officer Thomas Friel said today. He stressed, however, the agreement will “not require us to file for the operating subsidiaries,” which are the company’s casino properties themselves.

The good news to all of this is that everything should be operating as per normal. Station Casinos chief operating office, Keith Kelly put forth a statement reassuring guests of this fact saying, "From our loose slots, to honoring points earned in our Boarding Pass program, to our great promotions and contests ... it’s business as usual at Station Casinos."

If you're feeling good-natured or just plain sympathetic, why don't you stop in a Station Casino today? Or check-in this weekend? Rates at the Red Rock start at $180 on Friday night.
