The environment is on a lot of people’s minds these days, so Harrah’s Entertainment is playing on the theme with a “go green” promotion.

Play at any Atlantic City property (Harrah’s, Caesars, Bally’s or Showboat) between Earth Day, April 22, and June 5, and earn points towards environment-related products. You might have to swipe your card at a promotional kiosk before you start.

Earning just 100 base Reward Credits gets you a reusable tote bag. Each redemption of 500 points gets you $5 in slot play. Rack up a few thousand points for gifts like a solar flashlight, a bowl made from recycled glass or jewelry made from recycled glass. The values go up from there, and you can see the entire catalogue at www.harrahs.com/ac.goinggreen. If you feel like moving into a casino for the entire six weeks and playing $25 machines for eighteen hours a day, you might earn a million points and qualify for a free eco-tour of Australia.

In other thoughts, it was good to go to Atlantic City last weekend and find the casinos actually crowded. It may be that it was the first warm and sunny weekend of the year, or people may be feeling moreupbeat about the economy, but they were in town and playing last weekend.
