Looks like your interpretation is correct. That extra comma threw me off.
I guess my original thought was to inform the group that there is a new
sweepstakes for signing up through the Colorado Belle website. It started Sept 15
and is supposed to run through Dec 31, 2005. They are giving away 5 suite
packages per month and throwing in $200 in food. CB had a similiar one for a
couple of years.
MGM/Mirage has put their mark on the website. You can get onto any
MGM/Mirage casino's e-mail list by checking off boxes through the CB site.
So are there any other decent casino website promotions? The Ramada Express
gives away just one room prize per month. I used to do the downtown Fitz one
several years back and won a package. Any others to consider?
