Finding BJ Promotions?

Don't know if anyone saw this show on i believe TLC called SEX, DICE, and VEGAS. On it they stated that a new casino is opened every two weeks in Vegas. Then they showed an opening night, and on opening night they had a blackjack pays 3 to 1 promotion. Are there a lot of these promotions that can be found in Vegas or any other gambling destination for that matter? If so, how do you find out ahead of time? Seems like a lot of new casino's would offer these promotions to get you in their doors.

thanks for any help in this matter

". . . they stated that a new casino is opened every two weeks in Vegas."

That would be 26 new casinos in a year. Nonsense.

One or two in a year is about right.

Within the last year, Green Valley Ranch and the Palms opened up.

The next new casino scheduled to open is The Cannery in North Las Vegas, which will be opening in about four months.

More common is change of ownership/name of smaller existing stores; i.e., Cheyenne = Speedway, Ernie's = Wildfire, Showboat = Castaways, Regent = Rampart, etc. These places usually change hands because of financial problems. Once in awhile there are worthwhile promotions, but not too often.

All four of the re-named casinos noted above still appear to be struggling just to survive. Perhaps their lack of attractive promotions to lure people in is part of their problem. I'm on the mailing list of all four, and haven't seen anything from any of them that would influence me to go there, even if I was a ploppy.

The best promotions of the ones that are available to anyone are the Las Vegas Advisor POV and Casino Perks Gaming Editon.

Any details on this casino ? Who`s the owner and is it going to be a big one or just a small local joint. Any info on the type of BJ game to be offered ? etc. Thanks.

An aside about these channels (which are all owned and run by the same company) is that they often show dated material about Las Vegas. (When I say dated, I mean 3-4 years old; Vegas changes a lot in that time.) For example, you'll often see the Desert Inn featured in some stories.

In this particular case, the casino opening was Terribles, which has been open for a while now. Thus, the information is quite old. (They're still fun to watch from time to time - I also drooled at the prospect of 3-1 naturals!)
