Top 5 Tips for Planning a Casino Night

Elizabeth Micenko • January 31, 2017

Many people dream about a Las Vegas vacation adventure. From the spectacular shows to the glitz and glam of the casinos, Vegas has earned its title as one of the top gambling hot spots in the world. However, the time and the expense of a Vegas vacation isn’t always feasible, or even affordable, which has given rise to the popularity of Casino Night Parties. Whether for a fundraiser or a private party, hosting a Casino Night gives guests a taste of Vegas and an evening of fun. If you are planning a Casino Party in Pittsburgh, the following tips should help you so that your night is smooth and entertaining:

 

Use real dealers – Professional dealers have the experience to not only run the game, but make it so that it is entertaining. Having a professional dealer can make the real difference in the enjoyment of your guests and provide the most realistic Vegas experience.

Rent games according to the size of your party – A Casino Party is different than having a simple Poker Night in your home. Real gaming table lend to the authenticity of the experience, and can be tailored to the individual party. You want to have enough tables to provide seating for all of your guests though, which is something to consider when renting your equipment. The average blackjack and poker tables are geared to seat six to eight guests, while craps tables can accommodate up to 15 players. If you are unsure of your seating relative to the number of guests, consult with the experts at Casino Unlimited.

Choose a fun theme – You have the opportunity to create a real live Vegas experience that will make guests feel as if they are in an actual casino in the heart of the gambling world. Whether you are looking for a nostalgic, “Rat Pack” feel, or one geared towards a specific casino, such as the Tropicana or Caesar’s Palace, your guests will appreciate the atmosphere created by your theme.

Throw a party for a good cause – Nothing raises money for a beloved charity or organization more than a Casino Party . Your guests get to enjoy a one-of-a-kind evening out while supporting a good cause, which is always a formula for success. There are a number of ways you can raise money with a Casino Party , from ticket sales to charging for a certain number of chips.

Know your budget – Proper planning means knowing how much money you have to spend. You don’t need to break the bank to throw a successful Casino Party – just know what you can spend in advance and make the best use of your funds.
