Poker players are not the only patrons to The Isle Casino Hotel who have special privileges. The Isle Casino has plenty of new promotions, and a new restaurant option, for players to enjoy in September.
Orchid Garden
The new, and highly acclaimed Orchid Garden restaurant, located in the skywalk between The Isle and Lady Luck casinos, offers a wide selection of authentic Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine.
The restaurant features dishes one might expect to find on an Asian menu, including appetizers like spring rolls, wontons, pot stickers and a Dim Sum sampler. Firecracker Shrimp and Wrapped Prawn Rolls offer a little spice to the pre-entrée options.
The menu includes options for pho, a traditional soup served with rice noodles and choice of protein; rice plates; noodle bowls and entrées that include specialties like sesame chicken, Pad Thai, Phalaenopsis chicken or beef and Singapore-style noodles. Mussels, striped bass, Dungeness crab and a whole Maine lobster are also offered for seafood fans. Vegetarians can opt for tofu and vegetable dishes.
Casino patrons can dine in the restaurant Mondays – Thursdays from 5-11 p.m.; Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. – midnight; and Sundays from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m.
Escalade giveaway
While gaming, or eating, at The Isle be sure to enter to win one of two 2011 Cadillac Escalades – considered the standard by which all other luxury SUVs are measured – which will be given away on Sept. 4 and 5. Casino patrons can receive one free entry daily and earn additional entries Fridays through Sundays and Sept. 5 for each set of 25 unadjusted points earned. A winner will be drawn on Sunday, Sept. 4 at 10 p.m., and will get to drive away with a brand new Escalade, currently valued at more than $63,000. Another winner gets to do the same on Monday, Sept. 5 at 9 p.m.
$50,000 Balance for Bucks
Beginning Sept. 9, The Isle patrons can play the $50,000 Balance for Bucks game on Fridays and Saturdays from 4 – 10 p.m. Players who can balance the scale correctly will win up to $1,000. One free entry is available daily while additional entries are earned for every 10 unadjusted points earned on Fridays and Saturdays.
Rollin’ for Riches
Yet another September promotion, Rollin’ for Riches, will be held at The Isle Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4 – 9 p.m. beginning Sept. 6. Patrons who “roll a winning combination” can win up to $500.
Visit IsleOne or guest services inside the casino for complete details on any of these, and other, special promotions or offers at The Isle.
