PRNewswire/ -. The luckiest day of the year? While scholars and skeptics across the country debate the significance of 7-7-07, Saratoga Gaming and Raceway already knows what it means: more cash and prize giveaways! And the luck is extending to the entire week with fireworks, the Gin Blossoms, and hot dance nights.

A special night of racing kicks off the celebration at 5:00pm on Tuesday, July 3rd. The 13 races include a special $25,000 Firecracker Pace. The 5:00 post time is followed by a free fireworks display at approximately 9:15. The Fireworks display is now easier than ever to view because CDTA’s new Saratoga Springs bus service will connect visitors throughout the community to Saratoga Gaming and Raceway for free on July 3rd.

After the outdoor fireworks, stay for some indoor action with the debut of local band Audiostars at Vapor. Audiostars features J. Yager and Matt Pirog, the former front man and lead guitar player for local favorites The Burners UK.

Celebrate Independence Day with a free T-Shirt Giveaway for the first 1000 Club members to visit the Player Extras Club on July 4th. Then, on Saturday, July 7, 2007 one winner will win $7,777 cash at 7pm while they play with their Player Extras Club Card. Also that day, 7 players will be randomly selected throughout the day to win $100 in Free Play.

Music fans are in luck: the Gin Blossoms are stopping at Vapor on July 6 while on tour in support of their new album Major Lodge Victory. Fans can expect to hear new songs as well as favorites like “Hey Jealousy”, “Follow You Down” and “Til I Hear It From You.”
