Vegas in LA - Another Giveaway!
Monday, August 14, 2006 19:58
We are hosting another giveaway for our readers!
Sin City corrupts Los Angeles as CozmoCard, in association with LA.com and Open Table, hosts Vegas in LA food and wine event. The event will be held on Saturday evening, August 26, 2006, at The Barker Hanger in Santa Monica. The casino theme party will feature an enormous casino and lounge, dj, a silent auction, wine tasting with over 50 domestic and international wines and delicious cuisines provided by over 30 of LA’s most popular restaurants.
To promote the event, the organizers have given us a pair of tickets ($170 value) to giveaway to our readers. This is going to be a great event, check out the restaurants that are going to be there, and the wineries too. On top of that, all of our readers can use the coupon code “blogging” for $10 each purchase. Buy tickets here.
Back to the giveaway. To win a pair of tickets to Vegas in LA, your assignment is to come up with a food themed slot machine. In the comments, leave the name of your slot machine and the jackpot combination. For instance, for a slot machine called Breakfast Bingo the three item combo could be Pancakes, Syrup and Bacon. Understandable? Name the machine, create a jackpot combo. Here are the rules:
- Leave a comment for this post with your Slot Machine Name and the Three Item Winning Combination for your machine, be creative!
- This is very important! Some comments are getting filtered because of the gambling related keywords. If your comment does not show up, please email your entry to foodblogging@gmail.com
- Make sure that you leave a valid email address with your comment so that we can contact you if you win. Your email will only be used to contact you if you win.
- Enter as often as you like, but please leave an individual comment for each of your entries (do not leave multiple names in one comment)
- Leave your comment no later than 5:00pm, Monday, August 21st.
- One pair of tickets will be given to the person who comes up with the most creative name (as decided by me)
- Winners will be announced on August 22nd and contacted via email
Good luck!

Gumbo Pot Goldmine: File, Rice, Okra (and if you want to make it a five line, then seafood and andouille make sense)
Acme Oyster House Po-Boy Pandemonium!: Leidenheimer French Bread, Lettuce (aka Dressed) and of course those oh-so perfectly fried oysters.
