Gas prices are going up, and airfares with them. So a couple promotions are going on to take away the pain to your wallet of getting here, whether you arrive by car or plane.

   Spirit Airlines, which flies into Atlantic City International Airport, is offering 5,000 free frequent-flyer miles to anyone who signs up on their website at www.getfreemiles.com. But it doesn’t end there. Of everyone who signs up, a number will be randomly selected to show up at an event in a city Spirit flies to and have a chance to win a million miles, or the equivalent of up to 200 tickets.

   The Atlantic City “Luggage Chuck” contest happens May 15 at the Chelsea hotel. Chosen contestants, who will be notified by e-mail a few days in advance, will toss a piece of luggage – or facsimile thereof – at a target, and whoever hits it gets into the finals for the million miles.

   The only catch is you also have to sign up for a Free Spirit frequent-flier card. But if you fly her with them anyway, or live here and fly to Florida, it’s a good deal.

   The Tropicana is wooing the drive-in market. Every day until May 23, they’ll have drawings to give away a $100 gas card or $100 in free slot play. Five winners will be chosen every half hour from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m.  Use your Diamond Club card while playing slots or tables to earn entries.
