Some notes on this year's Circa Survivor Contest
First, the guaranteed prize is $15,000,000 - usual rules: one pick per week, plus one on Thanksgiving/Black Friday and one on Christmas; you get a mulligan if you pick the Thursday night game loser in week 1 (although it does cost you an extra $1000, and you still need to pick a week 1 winner); the prize pool is the larger of $15,000,000 and $1000 per entry.
A couple of changes (besides the guaranteed prize); it is now a maximum of 10 entries per person instead of 5, and you get 50% off of a room for 2 nights with 5 entries, or 100% off with 10.
Second, there is a separate Grandissimo (last time I looked, that's Italian for "as large as possible") survivor contest, with a $100,000 entry fee, a maximum of 2 entries per person (plus the week 1 Thursday mulligan), and a $1,500,000 minimum prize pool. Entrants also receive:
* One round-trip flight on JSX to Vegas, with limo transportation to and from the airport
* A free 3-night stay in the Founder’s Suite
* A personalized dining experience with Chef Barry S. Dakake
* A Derek’s Signature Experience at Stadium Swim
* A top-shelf tasting experience at Legacy Club
* A curated dining experience at Andiamo Steakhouse with Chef Neil Piche
* An exclusive Inaugural Class GFore jacket
* plus a one-year VSiN website subscription
