There’s a lot of money in that there bag.

You know what the worst part of holiday shopping is? You never have an extra $100,000 lying around. (Which we realize makes it harder for you to buy us a cupcake car, but we swear by all that’s holy if you do we will drive it to work every day. Every. Damn. Day.)

Lucky for you, Bally’s is doing a special performance of The Price is Right at 2:30 p.m. Dec. 14 where one player can win the hundred large during the final showdown. Even luckier for you, we’re giving away a pair of tickets to get you in without even having to qualify in their slot tournament.

Just send an e-mail to win@dailyfiasco.com or follow us on Twitter for your chance to win entry into The Price is Right Sin City $100,000 Showcase — two entrants will be picked at random Dec. 8 at noon.

The details: Players have to be 21-plus and sign up for a Total Rewards card. You need to be able to be at Bally’s to register by 1:45 p.m. Participants in the games are chosen randomly: Two for the Showcase Showdown and five to spin the Big Wheel for your chance at the $100,000. Consolation prizes (worth a minimum of $50) will be given to those on contestant’s row who don’t win the bid. Showcase contestants will win a consolation prize worth $500 if neither wins the showcase. And we mean this sincerely: We hope you don’t have to hear this.

Staying out of the hoosegow. It’s good advice for life, and good advice for collecting novelty checks. Las Vegan Kim Heinan collected $50,000 as the thimble in the Monopoly Advance to Go tournament at Bally’s … and look who came in dead last. Why, it’s our old buddy the shoe. Let’s go to the game tape, shall we?

Even if you come in absolutely dead last, you get $500. We’re predicting that’s going to be the shoe, but no promises. We know from vast Monopoly experience that if you get stuck with the shoe, you’re going to be lucky to even get houses on Connecticut Avenue. But even if you draw shoe, you’re getting at least $500, so this will be the one time you don’t have to worry about the dude with the iron getting cocky.”

Oh, look who knows what Monopoly pieces suck. That would be us. You should follow our advice about everything, because clearly we know what we’re talking about. Now go down to Las Vegas and Charleston and start waving around a roll of twenties screaming that no one can rip that cash out of your iron grip. Click for more words and pictures »

Because no one ever wants to be the thimble.

The Monopoly World Championships are coming to the Forum Ballroom at Caesars Palace Oct. 21 and 22, and what better way to celebrate an epic Boardwalk battle than by winning your way to a chance at 50 large? You’re in luck. We’ve got the Community Chest-iest giveaway of them all.

Shoot an e-mail to win@dailyfiasco.com or follow us on Twitter and retweet when the time is right to be entered in a chance to participate in the Advance to Go for $50,000 game, where 50 finalists will be playing on a 25 feet-by-25 feet Monopoly board on the front sidewalk at Bally’s. We have to get your entry by Friday at 4 p.m., so get your fingers limbered up.

Here’s how it works: Win, and you get into the first round with the other finalists. Then you draw a scroll. Five people will get a one that advances them to the $50,000 round, but the rest get one marked with one of the Monopoly tokens. (Sorry, race car fans, it’s dog, hat, car, shoe and thimble only.)

The five finalists move around the board like a regular Monopoly game. The first one to pass Go collects a cool $50,000. (But Go to Jail is in play, so be wary of the fuzz.) Second place cashes for $20,000, third place $15,000, fourth place $10,000 and fifth place $5,000. Here’s where it gets even better. If you didn’t make the finalist round, but you drew the scroll token that goes with the winner, you get $2,000. Matching second is worth $1,500, third is $1,000, fourth is $800 and fifth is $500. Even if you come in absolutely dead last, you get $500. We’re predicting that’s going to be the shoe, but no promises. We know from vast Monopoly experience that if you get stuck with the shoe, you’re going to be lucky to even get houses on Connecticut Avenue. But even if you draw shoe, you’re getting at least $500, so this will be the one time you don’t have to worry about the dude with the iron getting cocky.

Here’s the boilerplate: You must be 21-plus, you have to be there in person Monday at 10 a.m. until around 12:30 p.m., sign up for Harrah’s Total Rewards, have a valid ID, are responsible for taxes and you agree to allow the use of your name and likeness for promotion/advertising. A copy of full rules are available at the Total Rewards Center.

Also, anyone of the first 600 who swing by the Championships 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 21 and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 22 score a free T-shirt. The ladies love dudes who rock Rich Uncle Pennybags. Truth.

This could be you, especially if you like your crotch as sparkly as possible.

Who doesn’t want sequined underpants and a feathered headdress? If, like everyone else, you’re dying to get your very own, Jubilee! at Bally’s is holding open auditions Sunday. Male dancers can show up at 10:30 a.m. (to get the part no one likes over with), female showgirls and dancers from noon to 2 p.m., singers from 2 to 3 p.m. and principal dancers from 3 to 4 p.m. Callbacks are from 4 to 5 p.m.
