Can you call the next card HIGHER or LOWER for cash?  Watch as Jersey Joe and his friends play a another round of the classic TV game show Card Sharks!  Are the questions from the 70s & 80s the same as today?

 

THE 411

Name: Card Sharks

What: TV game show

Airdates: 1978-1981 (NBC) 1986-1989 (CBS) 1986-1987, 2001 (Syndicated)

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

Once again, we think this show should return to television!  This summer, ABC is bringing back To Tell The Truth, Celebrity Family Feud, and The $100,000 Pyramid.  Could a new Card Sharks revival be on the short list as well?

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

I’m surprised they haven’t brought this game show back.  The 2001 edition was absolutely awful.  They forced both contestants to play off of one row of cards, which meant nothing until you got to the final card.

Still a great game show and if they keep to the original rules — this really should, and probably will, return to TV soon!

[Kicking Back with Jersey Joe LIVE] Ride on the Circus Circus Tram Reno

Jersey Joe takes a ride on the Circus Circus tram LIVE at the Circus Circus hotel & casino in Reno, Nevada and chats live in this special rebroadcast.

THE 411

What: tram ride

Where: Reno, Nevada

Hotel: Circus Circus Reno

Why: connects distant hotel towers at Circus Circus hotel & casino

Hotel opened: 1978

Website: circusreno.com

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

I love how the executives and contractors at Circus Circus found a novel solution to a problem.  They took the fact that they had a distant hotel tower and turned that negative into a positive by adding two mechanical trams that add to the tourist experience.

Hotels and vacation resorts are everywhere and it’s up to the marketers to make each of these destinations fun and unique.  Circus Circus has done a fantastic job of that.  Most of the other hotel and casinos in Reno are the same, but this place has definitely figured out how to capitalize on many unique offerings, including their midway and circus acts, to stand out from the rest.  I will DEFINITELY be back!

Since gambling was first legalized in Vegas, back in 1931… the city has been a non-stop show with millions of tourists flocking to the casinos, shows, and attractions yearly.  Vegas has taken a different turn recently by adding more non-gambling attractions.  Along with the glitz and glamour of the casinos, the city has evolved into a restaurant and entertainment mecca.
