With only a limited number of tickets available and only a few weeks remaining now is the time to buy or else risk losing the opportunity to participate in one of islands’ few gaming opportunities while helping to support many worthwhile community projects.
With $10,000 up for grabs, or a brand new Hyundai Accent, as well as thousands of dollars in cash prizes, not to mention fabulous door prizes raffled every hour, Las Vegas Night tickets are well worth the buy.
Tickets are being sold for $5 each or $20 for a book of 5. Las Vegas night will be held March 27 at the Saipan World Resort from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Tickets will be sold at the Thursday Night Street Market from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., and at the Saturday Sabalu Market from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. from now to March 25.
Tickets could also be purchased at the Marianas Variety office in Garapan and selected Shell stations on Saipan.
Dubbed Las Vegas Night from all the games available in the famous U.S. city, Rotary members volunteer to run Black Jack, Craps, Roulette, Texas Hold ‘Em Poker and Kina, another form of Bingo. “It is really a night of fun as people come and play and our Rotary members volunteer as dealers, bankers and greeters. It is an event that the community and the Club look forward to and all of our proceeds go to support our local programs and initiatives,” said Saipan Rotary Club president Kim Forrester.
“The tickets are multi-purpose, in addition to giving you a chance to win the car or cash prizes without having to be present they also allow entry into Las Vegas Night which then leads to many more chances to win additional door prizes while trying your hand at all the games,” he said.
Past President Ben Babauta is leading a team of Rotarians to sell tickets at the Thursday Night Street Market from 6:00pm-8:00pm, and the Saturday Sabalu Market from 7:00am-10:00am from now to March 25th.
“We encourage everyone in the community to come and meet us at the Thursday Street Market or the Sabalu Street markets to buy tickets,” said Babauta.
Tickets could also be purchased at the Marianas Variety office in Garapan and selected Shell stations on Saipan.
Come celebrate your luck on the month of St. Patrick’s Day knowing you’re helping the Rotary Club of Saipan raise funds for many worthwhile community projects.
