Meet Hoop Greats, Get a Chance at Cash

In honor of the college hoops mayhem sweeping through Las Vegas (and the country, come to think of it), NBA legends James Worthy and Clyde Drexler will be signing autographs, schmoozing fans and giving away some cash on the Strip this weekend.

Several lucky Total Rewards (the Harrah’s Entertainment player loyalty program) and Planet Hollywood A-List guests (the loyalty program of Planet Hollywood, until Apr. 1, when Planet Hollywood will become a Total Rewards destination), will be chosen to compete at a Flamingo’s Tailgate party for a share of $5,000 in cash.

A hoops-themed decorative touch outside the Sports Book at Bally's. Because we needed a photo for this post.

Guests who sign up for a Total Rewards Card or A-List Card through March 20, 2010 will receive one entry into the “Hoops with the Stars” drawing. In addition, existing Total Rewards members who earn 50 Base Reward Credits in one day will receive an additional drawing ticket. All drawing tickets can be picked up from Total Rewards prior to 3:00 p.m. on Mar. 20. 

Autograph sessions are open to the public, and scheduled (Mar. 20) with James Worthy and Clyde Drexler at Planet Hollywood (The Mezz Level), 1-2:00 p.m.; and 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Flamingo (Showroom entrance).

Also on Saturday, the “Hoops With the Stars” event happens at 3-4:00 p.m. in the street between Flamingo and O’Sheas, then the drawing takes place 4-5:00 p.m., including games with Worthy and Drexler.

Get into the game! It’s your chance to play “Hoops With the Stars” and maybe even take home some moolah.

Super Parties for Big Game Weekend

Don’t get us started about why we can’t call this weekend’s football-championship-extravaganza-event-spectacular by its actual name. It’s a lawyer thing!

Anyway, we found this pretty comprehensive list of “Big Game” parties. Enjoy.
