casino promotions, and congratulate all the lucky win- ners, some shown here.
Harrah’s Rincon Casino & Resort
Southern California Gaming Guide readers voted Best Casino Promotions in 2005
to Harrah’s Rincon Casino &
Resort. Tapping into Harrah’s
national property-wide pro- motions, like the recent Las Vegas Treasure Hunt, Harrah’s Rincon players
have the opportunity for
some truly amazing prizes. In
the Las Vegas Treasure Hunt, players had a chance to join the hunt for a $1 million treasure on the Las Vegas Strip! In addition, players could receive a treasure chest contain- ing an eBay gift card valued between $5 and $1,000, free Southwest Airline tickets, a diamond necklace, or a nalist spot in the Las Vegas Treasure Hunt! In late March (after our press time) the remaining Treasure Hunt nalist was drawn, and all nalists will search the Las Vegas Strip for the $1 million treasure on April 23rd!

Southern California casino players know Golden Acorn Casino has some of the most frequent, generous and fun promotions each month.
