Just received the January flyer for the new Aliante. In which, they offer New Year New Cash Drawings at table games, which include "promotional chips" every Friday. Anyone know about these? Presumably you would have to be a member of the Aliante Club (a different card from the general Boyd B Connected player's club). Promotional chip offers always make me giddy. Giddy, giddy, giddyap! Except I won't be there until early February.

Aliante is the casino that is roughly halfway between Las Vegas and the North Pole. Every time I visit, I have to tell my truck, "Mushhh!" Compass needles spin wildly about as I pass Eskimos and polar bears. The sun only rises above the casino a few months of the year. And don't ask me for directions how to get there, all I know is, avoid the Icebergs!
