The Ramada Express is home to the best free show in town. "On the Wings of Eagles - A Tribute to American Heroes," is a multi-media presentation. Thousands of images, music, sound and lighting effect sends a wave of America's bravest moments from World Ware II at you from four different directions. Scenes of combat and victory are intermixed with private moments from the lives of those touched most by the war. "On the Wings of Eagles" was produced by the creators of Disney's Electric Light Parade and the Lunar Laser Show at the NASA Visitor Center. In the beginning, back in 1996, the program was designed as a three-month salute and tribute to the men and women of a remarkable era. The show's popularity has never waned with presentation daily beginning at 9 a.m. and running on the hour until 4 p.m. in the Pavilion Theater. The Riverside's Losers' Lounge has free admission to Monday Night Football parties with $300 in cash prizes being awarded throughout the course of each game.

Games are shown on multiple large TV screens. Door open at 5 p.m. The River Palms is holding NFL Monday Night parties in the Bermuda Club with food and drink specials and prize giveaways.

Other prizes are given away at the end of each quarter for special team prizes such as T-shirts, jerseys and hats.
