Circa Sportsbooks New Bet the Blitz Promotion Sends American Place Bettors to Las Vegas and Into the Chicago Bears Ticket Drawing
WAUKEGAN, IL — American Place Casino in Waukegan is giving football bettors a chance to turn a qualifying wager into a Las Vegas getaway and a shot at Chicago Bears tickets. The “Bet the Blitz” promotion is running at the Circa Sportsbook counter.
The prize pool centers on the adults-only Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas and a Thursday Night Football experience. One of the drawings also includes two tickets to see the Bears play New Orleans in Chicago.
How the promotion works at American Place
Through Oct. 15, customers can earn entries by placing at least $100 in wagers on NFL or NCAA football games. Only one entry per day is allowed, and wagers made through the Circa Sports Illinois mobile app do not count toward the promotion.
Participants must be 21 or older to maintain a real-money betting account. That age requirement applies to anyone hoping to take part in the giveaway.
Two drawings will decide the Las Vegas winners
The first drawing comes on Sept. 15 and will produce three winners. Each will get a two-night stay at Circa in Las Vegas plus a Thursday Night Football experience, with the hotel visit required to fall on a Wednesday and Thursday through Week 17 of the 2026 NFL season.
A second drawing on Oct. 15 will award the same Las Vegas package to three more winners. That drawing also adds the Bears tickets, and winners of the Vegas trip remain eligible for the Chicago prize.
Why the prize mix stands out for football fans
The setup mixes a destination sportsbook experience with a local NFL payoff, giving bettors two separate ways to win before the promotion ends. For Chicago-area fans, the Bears tickets may be the most immediate draw, while the Circa stay adds the Las Vegas trip element.
With the contest spread across two months and two drawings, the promotion is designed to keep customers returning to the sportsbook counter throughout the fall football calendar.
