Valentine’s Day, that crazy midwinter love-fest, is back. Time to start planning treats for your special someone. Whether that means a spouse or family member, partner, or self-pampering me time, let Little Creek Casino Resort in Shelton help spice things up this holiday.
Beyond roses and candy hearts, some of us go a little crazy on Valentine’s. USA Today reports that in 2018, “Total spending will hit $19.6 billion…a dramatic increase from the $18.2 billion spent last year. The 2018 number, however, won’t quite break the record of $19.7 billion set in 2016, when the average was $146.84 [for participating Americans], for a $19.7 billion total.”
Those totals include buying jewelry, flowers, clothing, gift certificates, event tickets, greeting cards, candy, and evenings out on the town. At Little Creek, you can combine all that and more thanks to their dining, gaming, resort, and event opportunities.
This year Valentine’s Day falls on a Thursday. If you can’t splurge on a mid-week getaway, consider heading over for a fun escape. In the Starlight Lounge, every Thursday is Tribute Night featuring Neil Diamond Tribute band, Cherry Cherry. In January alone, they hosted tributes to Tom Petty, Motley Crue, Nirvana, Sammy Hagar, and ever popular 80s hair metal.
Rock your socks off then head to Asian Night at the Creekside Buffet from 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Dishes and specialties intermingle with buffet classics for less than $18 per person all evening long. Over at the Island Grille enjoy a half rack of smoky, saucy ribs with seasonal veggies for only $9.99 on Thursdays with your Players Club card. This offer runs from 11:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. (February special is a 20-ounce T-Bone steak with seasonal veggies for $12.99)
Early risers can have breakfast for $5.99 Thursdays and Fridays at the Creekside Buffet. This Players Club member’s special is available from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
On the casino floor, look for daily promotions and gaming specials galore. Sign up in advance for your Players Club card enjoy benefits like check cashing, promotional entries, event pre-sale, valet parking, and other exciting goodies.
