If you have yet to join the Red Card at Wynn Las Vegas, there is no time like the present -- all new enrollees who earn 50 points ($150 coin-in slots, $450 video poker or less than an hour's worth of quarter play) during their first visit receive two complimentary buffets at one of the best food spreads in town. When you earn 500 points, you can collect another two free buffets plus $10 in free slot play.

Bally's/Paris is giving away a $10,000 Macy's New York Shopping Spree on Dec. 22. All new Connection Club members earn two entries with every 15 points ($225 coin-in slots, $375-$615 video poker) and also receive a free Big Kitchen buffet with their first 15 points.

At 6 p.m. each evening today through Dec. 18, the Palms will draw for 10 $1,000 prizes in its $100,000 Holiday Cash promotion. Entries into the electronic drawing are earned by playing on machines during the previous 24 hours, and are only activated by swiping your card near the Ben & Jerry's. Immediately after each drawing, all previous entries are cleared and entries begin accumulating for the next night's drawing. Winner's do not need to be present, but must collect winnings at the casino cage within 24 hours.

Two National Finals Rodeo-based promotions wrap up this weekend. On Sunday evening, the Golden Nugget will draw for a 2006 Dodge Ram Truck plus 10 $500 cash prizes. Players can earn entries by showing their NFR ticket, joining the 24 Karat Club, earning points and playing table games. Winners need not be present.
