I just got a marketing email from a casino trying to attract my business.
Their featured play-earn-win promotion theme this month is "Spring cleaning", and I swear - the gift items include a laundry basket, a carpet sweeper, and a mop (with wringer bucket).
Discussion prompt question: what curious casino promotions have you seen lately?

A casino here has one day a month when you earn 1000 points ($1,000 played through bad slots) and get a six-pack of a local soda.
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

I guess that is a sign from above that I need to send my wife back to the casino.
You can't know everything, but you can know anything.

Any chance that they bottle the soda themselves?

I might show up for a $20 food credit. I mean I'd try to schedule my gambling day for that if I had one. But if they give one day a week to that, I may not be the one being catered to. I don't show up enough to collect. Buffets went out with COVID, so it won't be what it was; and the $4 buffet was long gone before COVID. An all-you-can-eat plate of chicken parmesan with spaghetti or a fish fry with fries, or a double cheeseburger with fries are about all I look for nowadays in the food section of the casino. The $5-$10 hot dog, I pass by. Of course, in Vegas, prices are probably 3X higher than what I've ever seen.
With inflation, a $25 fun book from the mid- '90's would be $50-$60 now. I just don't see any of that around. I'd have to be betting near $35K per trip to afford $60 in points. The cheapest slots I can find are $0.50/spin instead of $0.05/spin. I'd need a $250 fun book really. I'd be a top tier player to get that in points each trip.
