A resort chain in Las Vegas is launching a promotion for Canadians that would take Canadian dollars at par at a time when many Canadian travellers are refusing to travel to the United States. Circa Resort Casino said its three downtown Las Vegas hotel s, including the D Las Vegas and Golden Gate Hotel & Casino, will offer the

“at par” promotion to eligible Canadians through Aug. 31. The promotion is being introduced “at a time when exchange rates have made

U.S. travel significantly more expensive for Canadians,” it said. “The initiative gives all Canadian travellers and locals an immediate financial advantage, eliminating conversion stress and reinforcing downtown Las Vegas as a

guest-first destination built on value, accessibility and fairness,” a Jan. 22 press release said.

The program will give Canadian guests US$1 in value for every Canadian dollar spent, regardless of daily exchange rates, for certain casino, hotel and beverage offerings.
