Prizes For Casino Night
CASINO NIGHT - Saturday, Novemeber 26th - 10:00PM-1:00AM
For two years we've gotten questions in our inbox about when CASINO NIGHT is coming back - and now it's finally upon us! Here's some handy-dandy info on how it works, when it works, and how to WORK IT!
Timing:
The tables begin arriving and setting up at 9:00PM - but don't worry you can still totally hang inside The Highball! Our bartenders are ready to serve craft cocktails and cold beer as our dealers get ready for you!
At 10:00PM we'll begin distributing the play chips from both our play table, and our travelling Cigarette Girls! $5 gets you into the action, and you can re-buy as many times as you like! We'll be playing till 1:00AM so you have plenty of chances! Did we mention the INCREDIBLE Sarah Arenella will be providing the loungy, backdrop music for the event??
Casino parties let you enjoy the kitsch and atmosphere of a casino without the loss of cash. To replace the thrills and motivation of high-stakes gambling, give guests prizes or gifts to celebrate wins, or just as tokens of the night's entertainment. Keep a gift stash of toys, games and good-luck charms to enhance your casino night. A Casino Fundraiser (also known as a Casino Night Fundraiser or Monte Carlo Night) is an event where guests experience the fun and excitement of playing in a real casino, but instead of going to Las Vegas, Las Vegas comes to them! Casino Fundraisers regularly feature game tables much like the ones you would find.

A casino party is a great theme for a guy's birthday party. Whether you decide on an all-out casino theme party or a game night, your party will sure to be a big hit!
- Invitations: Punchbowl has this terrific free casino-themed invitations that you can send to all of your guests to get them excited for your casino theme party. Before you send your invite, decide if you want it to be an upscale casino party (think James Bond in Casino Royale) that might involve guests getting dressed up in cocktail attire, a middle of the road Vegas themed party, or a low-key casino night comprised of poker and beer. Give guests a heads up about what to expect on your invitations.
- Games: What's a casino party without the games? There are actually companies that will bring a casino games to your venue so you can have a variety of games for your guests to play. They will often supply the dealers to not only deal the cards, but also explain how the games are played in case some guests are first-timers. If you're party is a little more low-key, you can set up a few tables for some of the more basic games like poker and blackjack.
- Party Tip: Instead of using real money (which might be a lot to ask of your guests), print up your own money with the guest of honor's face on the fake bills. Get some prizes so your guests have something to play for—gift cards or a bottle of wine work well.
Door Prizes For Casino Night
- Food: Casino food can vary greatly. If you've been to Vegas lately, you know that the casinos are filled with upscale restaurants from world-famous chefs in a variety of cuisines. In this case, since your guests will be playing games, you probably don't want a sit-down meal. Set up a buffet with the guest of honor's favorite foods. Guests can take a break from the games to grab a plate for themselves.
- Cocktails: If you're hosting an upscale casino party, consider setting up a martini bar. Give guests a few liquors from which to choose, set our a few different types of mixer and put garnishes like cherries, olives, and orange slices in small bowls. You can even print up a few menu options or let guests have fun creating their own concoction.
