Lucky You

Try your luck this November at South Texas' premier casino

Those in the know escape to Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino Hotel, a South Texas getaway for the best in gaming and entertainment. This November, the calendar is especially jam-packed with high-ticket giveaways, live music, and a Thanksgiving feast that gets you out of the kitchen.

Two lucky winners could drive away with a Corvette Stingray, with separate drawings happening November 18 and 27. Not only that, but on grand-prize drawing nights, 12 additional guests will win $500 in Lucky Bucks.

Mondays won't feel so dreary with Money Monday’s Slot Tournament, where guests can win a share of $2,000 in cash and Lucky Bucks starting at 10 am. Stick around on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 3 pm to midnight, for the High Hand of the Hour, where Lucky Player card members try to best each other's poker faces for cash prizes.

If you're thinking, "Yeah, but nobody ever actually wins these things," there were two million-dollar winners in October alone, following many others who have hit it big. You can't win if you don't play.

Just steps away from the gaming floor, ¿Qué Pasa? Lounge presents live music every Friday with no cover. Upcoming performers include Looks to Kill (a Mötley Crüe tribute), the pop-rock group Rag Dullz, The Spotlights, and a live DJ. Don't miss the Tejano Sunday Showcase, which this month has Fama and La Differncia on the roster. On Thanksgiving you can rock out with Pin.

Feeling peckish? Saturdays and Sundays it's all-you-can-eat prime rib in The Buffet for $19.99 with your PASS Card, and the Fall Feast of Flavors brings oven-roasted turkey to the carving station along with sweet potatoes, chicken-fried steak, and other autumn classics, Monday through Friday only $12.99 with PASS Card. Beginning November 19, be on the lookout for Silantro's tasty new breakfast menu.

Seniors aged 55 and up get an extra-special deal on November 3, 10, and 17: half off The Buffet between 11 am and 10 pm. And if you don't feel like slaving away at the stove this Thanksgiving, let the chefs at Kickapoo Lucky Eagle do the cooking for you. A mouthwatering Thanksgiving buffet will be set up November 24, only $14.99 with PASS Card.

San Antonio celebrates 27th annual César E. Chávez March for Justice this weekend

The theme for this year's March for Justice is “Finding True Life Through Service to Others.”

Every year, thousands of San Antonians come together to honor the legacy of civil rights leader Cesar E. Chavez with a two-mile walk through downtown on Saturday, March 25. Plans for the 27th annual César E. Chávez March for Justice have been released, including this year’s new theme.

The César E. Chávez Legacy and Educational Foundation (CECLEF) announced March 25 as the date for their next march, with the new theme titled “Finding True Life Through Service to Others.”

Interim District 7 Councilwoman Rosie Castro, U.S. Congressman Joaquin Castro, and former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro (her sons) will be the march’s Grand Marshals.

CECLEF Chair Ernest J. Martinez said in a press release that it’s inspiring for him to see how the longstanding San Antonio tradition has been well-received by the local community and continues to be embraced by the younger generation.

“This year, we are strongly encouraging our K [through] 12 and college students to march alongside our friends, family, community, civic leaders, and elected officials,” he shared. “The March has always been a time to engage in civic participation and advocate for social and economic justice for our communities.”

Another priority with this year’s march is to give recognition to the many farm workers in San Antonio, while also bringing awareness to the food disparities in the community. CECLEF encourages participants to bring canned goods to the march for their “Yes We CAN” food drive, which will be donated to the San Antonio Food Bank.

District 5 Councilwoman Terri Castillo, who is the daughter of migrant farm workers, said the march serves as a prominent commemoration of the farm workers who advocated for better working conditions.

“This march serves as a reminder that we all have a role to play to carry on the legacy of labor leaders like Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta," she said. "When we march together, we say yes to organizing for safe working conditions, a living wage, and a better future for San Antonio. ¡Sí se puede!”

The 27th annual César E. Chávez March for Justice will begin at 10 am on March 25 at the corner of Brazos and Guadalupe Street.
