Mardi Gras, otherwise known as Fat Tuesday, is with filled music, parades, picnics, floats and excitement—making it a big holiday in New Orleans! It is the culmination of the festival season before Lent begins.

There are picnics and parades with music and floats. Crowds of spectators gather—dressed in purple, green and gold, with long beads dangling from their necks. During the celebration, all of the businesses and roads practically shut down in New Orleans as the people and parades take over the city.

But, how did this all begin?

Throughout January and February, guests had the chance to participate in the Chinese New Year Giveaway. Eight guests won $888 and one lucky guest won $8,888. All winners listed have accepted their prizes. 

This 1¢ game is the sequel to the award-winning Sex and the City™ slot machine. The glitzy game features a diamond-lit cabinet that is sure to catch your eye. But, if you don't happen to see the sparkling game on your own, it is located in the Dreamcatcher side between the Valet entrance and High-Limit Room—close to the Valet entrance and Dream Dance Steak.

The game features new bonuses and five progressive pick bonus levels—one for each of the series' charming characters, Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, Charlotte and Mr. Big.
