Casino Opening Proves Jimmy Buffett is Still Alive
Good news for all Parrotheads as it appears that the king of the beach groove, who was last seen walking off stage in Australia, is apparently alive and doing well. So well in fact that Jimmy Buffett will be present for the grand opening of the new Margaritaville themed mini casino at the Flamingo Casino and Hotel this week. The island themed casino will have almost 300 slot machines along with 22 table games such as Baccarat, Pai-Gow Poker, and Caribbean Holdem.

Don't like Jimmy Buffett? No need visit Margaritaville then when you can enjoy Bodog's state of the art online casino! Enjoy the best in online slots and table games like Caribbean Stud and Blackjack from the comfort of home.

The Flamingo has had one of Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville restaurant franchises for some years and the synergy between fried food and gambling seemed too good to pass up. The restaurant and the casino will be connected and it is expected that the Flamingo will see excellent returns on its investment as the Margaritaville brand is considered to be very strong. Loyal Parrotheads, the name for Buffett's die-hard fans, are known for their exceptional loyalty and even plan their vacations around Margaritaville properties. Additional Margaritaville mini casinos are already being built in Mississippi and Louisiana.

To celebrate the grand opening on October 14th, the Flamingo will be mixing an enormous, super-sized margarita. The leviathan concoction will attempt to become the new Guinness World Record holder for the largest margarita ever made. The mighty cocktail will be over 8,500 gallons and will use 2,125 gallons of Margaritaville Gold Tequila, 709 gallons of Triple Sec, 5,677 gallons of Margaritaville Lime Mix, and an astounding 22,668 lime wedges. The Frankenstein beverage has been nicknamed Lucky Rita and will serve almost 200,000 drinks over the coming week. No wonder Jimmy fell off the stage!

Casino Cosmetic Promotion: I See Your Chin Implant and Raise You a Tummy Tuck
Things continue to get more desperate in Atlantic City as casino operators try to stem the flow of red ink from what are the twin wounds of the Recession and increased competition. The latest promotional craps roll has taken a fairly unique path by offering a jackpot prize comprised of cosmetic surgery. The Trump Taj Mahal is offering the prize, which is worth $25,000, to whichever patron earns the most loyalty points in the month of October. The winning points can then be redeemed for the plastic surgery operation or operations of their choice.

The rationale behind the promotion is that plastic surgery is becoming increasingly expensive, and with so many Americans out of work there was a real danger of people actually having to look like they really do. Much like the lottery style "meat draw" that takes place at hundreds of Legion halls every weekend, this promotion balances the fun of gambling with urgent everyday needs. If this promotion were a slot machine it would be called Mid-Life Crisis !

No word at this time on any future promotions of the same vein, but one can rest assured that should the Taj Mahal see an enthusiastic response they will resurrect the promotion. At the end of the day, whatever puts a little life back into the rapidly wrinkling façade that is Atlantic City would be most sanguine.
