Entertainment galore at Emperors Palace

In celebration of its 15th birthday, Emperors Palace will be offering an extravaganza of Las Vegas-style stakes until September, with R5.5-million in cars, cash and prizes to be won, including two all expenses paid trips to Las Vegas.

Until the end of September, South Africans can experience thrilling Vegas-inspired gaming and entertainment at the casino.

General manager Nigel Atherton said that Emperors Palace would like to thank its guests for their phenomenal support over the past 15 years.

“Our birthday gaming celebration at Emperors Palace is intended to show our appreciation to South Africa’s gaming community,” he said.

“Our guests can look forward to a true experience of Vegas style.

“Viva the Vegas of Africa.”

Viva Las Vegas is not only about gaming.

With great deals on offer in the Entertainment Emporium, Emperors Palace is now the home of Sunday lunches during this birthday period.

There is something for everyone: free movie tickets, mystery jackpots, free meals at the Queen of the Nile for children under 12 on Winna Wednesdays, special treats for senior players and much more.

Celebrate Viva Las Vegas with entertainment highlights such as:

•  The Golden Gloves Triple Thunder boxing tournament, in the Centre Court, on August 31.

Featured on the bout card will be Ryno Liebenberg, Nkosinathi Joyi and Junior Makabu, to name a few.

•  Casper de Vries will bring his first full length English stand-up show, Casper Goes Khaki, to the Theatre of Marcellus from September 5 to 29.

It promises to be every bit as preposterous, ridiculous and absurd as one would expect it to be.

•  Back by popular demand, Emperors Palace will again host the nation’s favourite comedians under one roof, at the Kings and Queens of Comedy show, on September 23. The line-up will include comedians Mark Banks, Marc Lottering and Darren “Whackhead” Simpson, to name a few.

The show will be performed in the Centre Court.

•  Celebrate Heritage Day and treat the family to a fun-filled comedy picnic, with Barry Hilton, in the Gardens at the D’oreale Grande Hotel, on September 24.

•  A trip for two to Las Vegas will be the reward for two players.

One trip is on offer for main floor casino players and another for Priv players.

Tickets are earned by playing table games and slot machines with a Winners Circle card.

•  Tickets for the above shows can be booked by visiting www.emperorspalace.com or contacting the Emperors Palace Box Office on 011 928-1297.
