The Silverton Casino in Las Vegas. The venue is searching for toy elves for its Bad Elf holiday bar. (Image: YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The off-Strip Las Vegas venue is looking for \u201cretired elves\u201d from the popular “Elf on a Shelf” boxed set. Parents buy the game for kids, and over the course of the holiday season, move the elf throughout their residence with the intent being the elf acts as a steward of Santa Claus, ensuring the children are behaving and worthy of Christmas spoils.<\/p>\n

Of course, kids eventually outgrow the fantasy, leading to millions of elves sitting around, collecting dust. Silverton is putting an end to this \u201ctragedy.\u201d The casino-hotel needs elves for its famous Bad Elf holiday pop-up bar. It is rewarding adults in adult fashion, swapping a free cocktail for toy elves sent to the gaming venue.<\/p>\n

To help justify the absence of their \u2018Elf on a Shelf\u2019 at home this holiday season, Silverton will provide access to a \u2018digital tool kit\u2019 with \u2018tongue-in-cheek\u2019 letters that can be printed and shared with family members — including notes from the elf raving about retirement, and even photos of the elf’s new Las Vegas friends,\u201d<\/strong> according to a statement issued by the gaming venue.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In addition to the cocktail voucher, parents that send elves to Silverton receive a retirement certificate to give to their children, and the casino will donate a toy to Las Vegas-area toy drives on their behalf.<\/p>\n

Silverton Bad Elf Bar a Las Vegas Tradition<\/h2>\n

Silverton, which opened in 1994, caters to locals<\/a> and cost-conscious out-of-town visitors. The aquarium with the famous mermaid show and the aforementioned pool make the venue one of the more family-friendly off-Strip casino-hotels.<\/p>\n

\n

For adults, the Bad Elf Bar, which annually opens in November and stays open through December, is a beloved, gaudy local tradition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThroughout the bar, visitors are mesmerized by thousands of string lights, oversized ornaments, and dozens of \u2018retired\u2019 elves watching from the ceiling above. As a finishing touch, a full-sized Airstream trailer is decked out in festive red and green garland, complete with plastic reindeer on the roof,\u201d according to Silverton.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas locals<\/a> wanting to donate elves can drop the toys off at the Silverton Rewards counter. Out-of-town guests wishing to participate can mail retired elves to Official Shelf Elf Retirement HQ, Silverton Casino, 3333 Blue Diamond Rd., Las Vegas, NV\u00a0 89139<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Silverton Enhancements<\/h2>\n

As noted above, Silverton is celebrating its 25th<\/sup> anniversary this year, and the \u201cElf on the Shelf\u201d promotion is just one part of that effort.<\/p>\n

More importantly, the venue recently announced a $45 million refurbishment<\/a> that includes sprucing up 300 guestrooms.<\/p>\n

Silverton is also planning to bring its brand to Pahrump, which is located about an hour north of the Las Vegas Strip. The operator is adding to its portfolio<\/strong> Silverton Ranch<\/strong> Casino, anchored by Marriott Springhill Suites. Construction commencement is slated for later this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
