They had a program that included a few nights stay, maybe a show and some meals too. Cost was about $200, but you got 200 in these special chips to play also.
There's a $5 version too. Also, a version from Stratosphere. Similar program.
The cash value was always 1/4 of the NCV amount, so that you couldn't place both sides of an even money bet and turn them into the full cash amount.
Stupak was quite a promoter. He sort of got in trouble because he didn't keep a reserve account for the net amount of the cash value of uncashed chips. He booked the entire sale as revenue. He had to implement a reserve account during the final (Stratosphere) period of this promotion.
