Casino Silver Strikes on Facebook

First, to access the group, you have to have a facebook account. If you don't have an account, it is free and easy to set up at facebook.com. Second, you go to the Casino Silver Strikes Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/353030691516499/ and request to join the group. I cannot automatically add people unless they are my "Facebook Friends". Then I will add you to the group. The reason I have it as a closed group is so that the general public doesn't know when or where we all are. I'd hate for us to be talking about meeting up in Vegas and telling the world none of us are at home! So, everything is visible only to members of the group. I can add moderators anytime if we get a lot of new members.

The Casino Silver Strikes Facebook Page is meant to be very casual, very laid back. You can use it to tell other members about new strikes, use it to sell or trade or just ask folks in the group what they are up to, etc. If anybody has any questions, they can email me at pcory8681@gmail.com.

Webmaster note: You can access the Casino Silver Strikes Facebook Page by clicking the link on the left side of the home page.

Mirage Strike Program

Following email information sent to Warren Schaefer:

I wanted to reach out to you and inform you that as of May 13th we will be discontinuing our token program here at the Mirage. After that we will be selling the remaining tokens at our main cage.

Unfortunately the popularity of the tokens has fallen so much that it has become labor intensive for us.
