IGT Upgrade Monday January 25
GCH and GCML will be undergoing an IGT upgrade starting Monday January 25th This upgrade will affect all of our systems and will require the patience of our Associates and Guests To help make this process go smoothly please read the following tips and share this information with our Guests on Monday afternoon
There will be a cutoff time at 3 pm on Monday for Guests to re-deem points for script checks at Grand Rewards and they will have until 4 pm to cash these checks at a cashier booth
At some point approximately in the early morning on Tuesday January 26 we will be switching over to new EZ pay tickets When this happens the Guest will have a short window of time to redeem the old EZ pay tickets at a redemption center before having to go to a cashier
Also it is imperative that you leave your computers on when leaving work on Monday January 25 No computers are to be shut down as IT will be needing to remote in and make their upgrades
IGT will have trainers at both properties as support Monday through Thursday to help with the upgrade process Managers of your departments will be your key resource for questions and will be communicating to you additional information

Being Your Best Self Every Day
What is the difference between being yourself and being your best self How many times have you been told Just be yourself Most likely dozens of times by friends family teachers coaches and others And if you have stopped to think about it you probably have many different selves - we all do So how do we know which self is the best one to be All of us have many possible selves Some aspects of our personalities are active and obvious and these aspects we call current reality or who we are right now But there are many other possibilities or possible selves that we can strengthen and bring into current reality if we choose to Think for a minute What is your best self like Can you list the qualities that make you at your best different from the ordinary everyday you Because once you bring these qualities into your awareness into your consciousness you can deliberately set out to make your everyday self more like your best self Using the techniques of affirmation visualization and control of your self-talk it is relatively easy to do You see we move toward and become like what we think about Where thought goes energy flows Its a matter of managing your mind So focus on those aspects of yourself that you would like to see more of do it in a systematic way and do it over and over every day Soon being yourself will just be automatic You will begin to become your best self naturally

Being Your Best Self Every Day
What is the difference between being yourself and being your best self How many times have you been told Just be yourself Most likely dozens of times by friends family teachers coaches and others And if you have stopped to think about it you probably have many different selves - we all do So how do we know which self is the best one to be All of us have many possible selves Some aspects of our personalities are active and obvious and these aspects we call current reality or who we are right now But there are many other possibilities or possible selves that we can strengthen and bring into current reality if we choose to Think for a minute What is your best self like Can you list the qualities that make you at your best different from the ordinary everyday you Because once you bring these qualities into your awareness into your consciousness you can deliberately set out to make your everyday self more like your best self Using the techniques of affirmation visualization and control of your self-talk it is relatively easy to do You see we move toward and become like what we think about Where thought goes energy flows Its a matter of managing your mind So focus on those aspects of yourself that you would like to see more of do it in a systematic way and do it over and over every day Soon being yourself will just be automatic You will begin to become your best self naturally
