El Cortez giving away gift cards; Palms offering Alaskan cruise

The El Cortez is celebrating August by bringing back its popular jackpot gift card program. All this month, Club Cortez players winning a $200-plus slot jackpot or $300-plus video poker jackpot can receive their choice of a $10 gift card from either Wal-Mart, Smith’s, Shell or Chevron. There is no limit to the number of gift cards a player can earn. The casino also is giving away two free nights at the new Cabana Suites to all $1,200-plus jackpot winners.

On 17 of the next 30 days, the Palms will draw for an all-expense-paid seven-night Alaskan cruise including airfare, as well as several other prizes. The drawings will take place at 7:05 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday nights. Entries are based on points earned beginning July 25, and players must swipe their cards by 6:50 p.m. to be included in that evening’s drawings.

At M Resort every day in August, iMagine Club members receive a 50-percent point redemption discount at all restaurants, the gift shop and at Spa Mio.

On Sundays through Thursdays through September 30, Station and Fiesta casinos are offering a two-for-one entree promotion at more than 30 of their restaurants to all customers with either a Boarding Pass or Amigo Club card when paying with cash or credit card.
