The $30,000 Citywide Video Poker Tournament will bring together players from PT’s and Sierra Golds across the valley competing for their share of $30,000 and a $10,000 grand prize starting Aug. 1. “We’ve made it so easy to qualify,” said Christopher Abraham, vice president of marketing for Golden Gaming. “Simply earn 100 points between August 1-8 and you’re in. It’s one of the easiest ways to potentially become thousands richer.”

Players qualify for the tournament by earning 100 base points on their Golden Rewards card anytime Aug. 1 through 8. Qualifying players will then play in a tournament at their qualifying tavern, for prizes up to $250 in free slot play and advancement to the finals, through Sept. 1. Top tournament scorers from each tavern will then vie for the $10,000 grand prize in the finals at Sierra Gold on Jones Boulevard Sept. 15 at 8 p.m. Guests can even play and earn entry into qualifying tournament at multiple taverns, increasing their odds of making it to the finals.

After partying at LAVO on Friday, LeBron James continued his weekend long Vegas celebration TAO Beach and TAO on Saturday.  King James arrived to cheers was joined in the grand cabana by a group of friends including new Miami Heat teammate Dwayne Wade and Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets.    At one point the fans in the pool chanted his name and LeBron pulled out his camera to capture the moment.  Nearby former NBA player Alan Henderson and Glen Davis from the Boston Celtics also took in the sun and the scene.

Michelle Williams from Destiny’s Child returned for a second day at TAO Beach and was later spotted dining at LAVO with a group of friends before hitting TAO Nightclub where LeBron James was hosting for the night.

James and nearly thirty friends including Chris Paul feasted at TAO on signature items including Satay Bass, Lobster Wontons and Kobe Ribeye.  He took time out of his dinner to greet fans including a five year old girl and her mother who came to TAO just for the chance of possibly meeting the NBA star.  After dinner they headed up to the club and commanded several tables on the dance floor where the cocktail waitress were dressed in Miami Heat jerseys to honor LeBron’s new team. He was surprised by a cake from Gimme Some Sugar in the shape of a king’s crown and spent the night taking in the sounds of DJ Vice.

At LAVO, Julia Jones, Tinsel Korey and Alex Meraz from the Twilight Wolfpack hosted at the nightclub. The trio along with friends enjoyed Kobe Meatballs, Shrimp Scampi, Filet, Sea Bass and Oreo Zeppole for dessert, along with wine and cocktails.  Up in the nightclub they danced and took photos with fans.  Actor Ethan Embry and his wife Sunny also joined the group.

Also spotted in the nightclub at LAVO was Rafer Alston.  The NBA free agent was celebrating his 34th birthday with Grey Goose cocktails and the occasion shot of Patron.
