Nichols,
N.Y. – December 19, 2016
– Tioga Downs Casino is excited to invite the community to the region’s largest
and most popular New Year’s Eve Celebration on Saturday December 31, 2016 with
a party kicking off at 9 p.m. and continuing until 1 a.m. This year features a New Year’s celebration
of firsts for Tioga Downs as this is the first year that table games are
available in the casino, the first year that Virgil’s Real BBQ is open and the
first time that Tioga Downs has featured three bands for its New Year’s Eve
festivities.
This very special New Year’s Eve party
has free admission and an abundance of entertainment, including complimentary
live music for everyone to enjoy. Local
favorite Virgil Cain will provide live entertainment on the main indoor stage, from
9 p.m. until 1 a.m. During these same hours, country artist Devon Franks will
perform on stage in Virgil’s Real BBQ and alternative rock sensation Travis
Rocco will entertain guests in the sideshow lounge (guests must be 21 or over).
Tioga Downs will feature numerous gaming
promotions, which includes one lucky guest earning a cash prize every 30
minutes. The first promotion Tioga is
highlighting is its $250 ‘Cash Hot Seat’ where one winner will be randomly
drawn every 30 minutes between 9 and 11:30 pm to receive $250 in cash. The big promotion of the evening is the
‘$2017 Cash Hot Seat’ where one winner will be randomly selected at 12:30 am to
receive $2,017 in cash to ring in 2017.
“Last year’s New Year’s Eve celebration was one
of our biggest to date and with the addition of so many amenities at the
property this year we are expecting a record crowd to ring in 2017. Tioga Downs has a lot to celebrate in 2016
and we look forward to an even bigger 2017, we are pleased so many enjoy
spending the biggest night of the year with us,” commented Jeff Gural, Chairman
of American Racing and Entertainment, LLC.
Tioga Downs will be hosting a New Year’s
Eve Buffet on December 31 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. The buffet will offer a variety of entrée
selections, side dishes, cold selections as well as a carving station. All guests 21 years old and above will be treated
to a champagne toast at midnight as well as given complimentary 2017 party
favors. The infamous Times Square ball
drop will be televised on all televisions throughout the property. Virgil’s Real BBQ will be closed from 4 – 9
pm but will be open from 9 pm – 2 am to help celebrate the New Year. Coasters Sports Bar will also be open all day
