Colorado Belle mailer

What I truly love about Laughlin are the promotions, especially those
from EW and the Belle. I think the latest mailer from the Belle is
hilarious!

The pARTi zone mailer for August I received today includes three
nights, an exclusive Colorado Belle Paint By Number Set, two Colorado
Belle Art Berets, and two drawing tickets. "Wear your Colorado Belle
Beret while playing....and win your share of $35,000 in prizes!" But
the best: return your painting for a free stay in December and it
could be worth $1,000.

I think we should have a preliminary vpFREELaughlin contest where we
upload our paintings and then vote for the best one. We could do a
live webcast with a Mark Twain impersonator announcing the results.

Who's with me?

Drew
"I'm serious."
"I think this is really funny."
"I'd do it."
"I will not look silly in a beret in August."
"Give me your paint by number, then."
"Okay, Crabby, you're not invited. I'll take someone else."

This sounds like one of the promotions Ramada Express does every year
for Labor Day Weekend -- they call it "Wild and Wacky Weekend"

One year we had to wear GIANT plush hamburgers and hot dog hats while
playing to get the cash! We looked like idiots, trust me!

Then we had the Elvis outfits one year...sunglasses glasses with
sideburns.

Never had to actually paint anything though...guess looking silly is
enough for them!

I finally got my Parti Zone offer with the paint by number deal. Can
you really call paint by numbers art? Well, anyway it is one of the
strangest offers from the Colorado Belle. It is not real clear when
you have to turn in your "painting" to get the 3 free nights and
$1,000 chance. Do they provide the paint also? I have no plans to be
in Laughlin in August, so it looks like I will not be able to compete
in this vpFREE Laughlin contest. I see they also included another hat
deal with this at the Belle. I was trying to remember all the hats to
entice the prize patrol: St. Patrick green plastic hat, Ben Franklin
hat, Easter bunny ears, Santa hat, Pilgrim hat, art beret.... I know
there were more...what did I forget? I refuse to wear any of those
hats. If they come out with a "I love VP and Beer" hat, I might wear
that one!

Also- no offer from the RP for me either for August.

Careful what you wish for, my friend. One of my Laughlin trip
companions is a professional embroiderer and screenprinter. Do you
want a matching t-shirt?

How about a goofy looking tall and soft (red, white and blue)
hat for the 4th of July.
  I received the mailer and found it interesting that a completed
painting qualifies me for 3 complimentary nights in December. I
always receive, as I did in this offer, 5 free nights. That does
not leave much of real value for me in this offer.

Ah ha. Great idea. How about some socks to compete the ensemble?
