Bingo at the Plaza Hotel & Casino reopens with six daily sessions
Downtown Las Vegas’ only Bingo room welcomes back players with new offers, Super Bingo in July
LAS VEGAS – Home to Downtown Las Vegas’ only bingo room, the Plaza Hotel & Casino again offers six daily bingo sessions starting today and will hold its popular Super Bingo tournament, July 5-7.
“We have greatly missed our bingo players,” said Plaza Hotel & Casino CEO Jonathan Jossel. “Bingo is great entertainment for all ages, and bingo at the Plaza is popular with tourists and locals alike. While we have new guidelines to protect everyone’s health and safety, the fun and friendly atmosphere that bingo at the Plaza is known for will not change. We are excited to welcome back bingo, especially our very popular Super Bingo tournament!”
Originally planned for June, the Plaza’s $175,000 Super Bingo tournament will now occur Sunday, July 5 – Tuesday, July 7. The event typically draws nearly 1,000 people from across the country and as far away as Hawaii and Canada for the opportunity to win big playing fun-filled games of bingo over 2 days, with a super coverall both days, while socializing with like-minded bingo players. Bingo-only registration is $130 per person. Hotel-and-bingo packages start at $239 for a three-night stay. Register online at https://www.plazahotelcasino.com/bingo/super-bingo-registration/. Held in the Plaza’s remodeled ballroom, Super Bingo also includes an open bar during the sessions.
The Bingo room and Super Bingo tournament at the Plaza will operate in accordance with all regulations set forth by the Nevada Gaming Commission to help prevent the spread of coronavirus, including enhanced disinfecting protocols and social distancing during check-in and at tables. Daily session occupancy will be capped at 50 percent, and players will be allowed to enter the Bingo room in between sessions to reserve a seat. Super Bingo attendance may also be limited depending on requirements in July, so early reservations are highly recommended.
To celebrate the reopening of Bingo at the Plaza, Blue Packs pay $75 and Blue Coverall pays $300. The Plaza also continues to offer the Bingo Millions Megaprogressive games, Hotball Jackpot and Cashball Bonus. For a limited time, players can purchase the Million Dollar Coverall at 47 numbers or less.
Any player with a Plaza Rewards Players Club card is also eligible for Sizzling Summer Bingo Match Play which offers $75 daily Bingo match play every day in June, July & August (three $25 match plays per day and one $25 Bingo match play per session; more details available at the Plaza Bingo room).
The Plaza’s Bingo room offers six daily bingo sessions at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and is uniquely located two floors above the main casino. By parking on the third floor of the Plaza’s self-parking garage, guests have convenient and direct access to the Plaza’s bingo room without having to walk through the casino floor. Guests who are Ace level in the Plaza’s Rewards Players Club can also self-park in the former valet areas by the South Tower and under the dome, space permitting.
The Plaza also added more restrooms across from the Bingo room to enhance guest convenience. A bar and limited refreshments will still be available in accordance with updated Southern Nevada Health District requirements.
