Mirage giveaway
"To do that, Hard Rock International, the casino’s owner and operator, is holding one last mega-promotion over the course of six days. The Mirage Progressive Finale Cash Giveaway promotion will run from July 9 through July 13 and resume on July 16."
There will be five slots-based drawings daily from July 9-13 and 16, as DRich said; the drawings are hourly starting at 3 PM.
It appears that each drawing is for:
$40,000, on July 9-11;
$50,000, on July 12 & 13;
$20,000, on July 16
Only players playing within 2 minutes of a drawing are eligible
There will also be one table-games-based drawing daily on July 12 & 13
To be eligible, you have to play at least one of these between 11 AM and 7 PM on that day:
Face-Up Pai Gow
UTH
3-Card Poker
Let It Ride
Blackjack
Baccarat
The 7/12 prize is $217,424.45; the 7/13 prize is $230,075.28
You need to be present at the drawing and claim it within five minutes of your name being announced, or another name will be drawn

Can you claim it from your seat, or do you have to run across the casino to the promotions desk or some sort? With over $200,000 on the line and only five minutes to claim it, I could see some other players trying to trip you or block your path.

Hertz, I think
I would provide a link to the contest rules, but Malwarebytes is claiming the site has polyfill.io
Mirage has 2000 slot machines according to the internet, which never lies. If you can find a $0.25 machine that allows a one credit bet, 1/2000*40,000/0.25 = 80 (plus the 0.88 or whatever you are expected to get back on your quarter). This assumes draw times are fixed.
If the draws are random times, you would only need to play like $8.20/hour over the five hour content period. That is not a lot of money to have a somewhat okay shot at a lot of money, no? I imagine some fighting will happen.

When I have run promos like this I always used a weighted drawing algorithm. The more coin in you have in the period the greater your chances are. A simplified example would be that everyone with their card in gets one raffle ticket. Every dollar you gambled during the promo time would earn you another raffle ticket. That way everyone has a chance but the bigger gamblers have a better chance.

Did you ever do theo weighting of the tickets?
A big casino can make $1-2M in slot win per day. I assume that the Mirage will be quite busy. If the promo is theo weighted and you have no other promo going for you, then why bother? The promo is a small fraction of the expected slot hold over the six days.
If the entries are coin-in weighted, then VP might be +EV. In any case, must-hit slots get an +EV boost. But you cannot sit at a slot all day and have it stay +EV while earning entries as fast as possible.
If the drawing tickets are known to be seat-weighted, then have at it.

I don't recall doing theo for drawings but for mailings I regularly did.

I don't think it's as much that, as it is people either sitting in front of machines waiting for it to get to the point where they check to see who is eligible for the next drawing, or reserving seats for their spouses / children / "syndicate partners."

What dignity? This is Vegas we are talking about, remember?
What I want to know is, how many of these machines had their pay tables/win probabilities tightened?

Probably none of them, at least not for the promotion.

According to "Vegas" Pauly C (consider the source, I guess), Mirage was only running a few hundred machines and people established their positions 12-14 hours before the promotion began. I would imagine the goal would be to keep things moving and prevent hot heads from getting steamed.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around slow playing three machines at once.
Enough to qualify, but little enough to minimize bleed.
At least if you're playing an entire bank, running laps, and slapping every button each go-around, you get some exercise.
