Planning A Casino Party
Jul 21st
A casino party can be a great idea for any individual or company planning an event. Different types of casino events include stag parties, Jack and Jills, birthdays, poker tournaments, corporate events, graduation parties, reunions, and more. Finding a casino party planner who specializes in fun casino events in your area does not have to be a discouraging task. In most large metropolitan areas across North America, you will find several companies who specialize in casino entertainment.
There are a few key elements you should look for when you choose a casino party company. First of all, does the company offer a wide selection of casino games? Is the equipment comparable to what you would see at the casino? The casino game tables and accessories should not resemble home edition models that you can buy on Ebay for the same cost of renting them. You want your guests to feel like they are in a real casino!
Event Staffing is another important characteristic of a quality casino planning company. To ensure the success of your casino party, you should have casino dealers who are knowledgeable about the games, very entertaining, and personable with your guests. Hosts/hostesses are sometimes a nice added touch, as well as pit bosses and/or tournament directors.
Finally, what other party services does the casino party company offer? A good casino event planning company may offer many additional party services that will compliment your event. This can save you time and money if you are able to get a full-service, quality package from one provider. Ask the casino event planner about extra services such as delivery, event planning consultation, lighting, additional entertainment, and more.

Things to Consider During a Casino Party Planning
Jun 29th
Do you want to do some serious casino party planning?
Here are the important factors you need to consider so that you can have a party that’s going to impress and really satisfy all of your guests’ expectations:
Budget
This is the most important and the main part of it all. The success and the end appearance of your casino party will greatly rely on the budget you have. So it’s best to keep a practical sense of just how far you can go. Don’t try to achieve something that your budget won’t allow. You should know that casino party planning should involve allotting extra budget for rental fees since you might need to have those machines and other casino paraphernalia inside the venue too.
Rental Partner
This goes hand in hand with the budget. You definitely need to make an effort to scout for the most reliable and real-looking casino party machines and tools. It’s also good to choose a rental partner who might give you discounts and flexible arrangements on how the casino stuff will be brought to the venue. Sometimes, rental companies may already have this option free for you if you will be renting bulk items especially if it involves different types of machines. Make sure you also review the agreement well before you sign.
Schedule of the Party
You should definitely save the date on an evening. Nobody experiences much fun in a casino party during day time. This is because the theme often comes with a splash of many bright colors from the machines and setups. If it’s done during day, it’s a bit contrasting and unnerving to come out to a very bright weather after the party. Plus, the casino occasion is best served as a form of relaxation after your guests just had a very long day. You can have it scheduled on a weekend night or even on a Friday night right after work hours.
Location
If you are planning a casino party, it would be best to rent a warehouse so that the machines and the casino tables can be spread out in comfortable positions. You will definitely need a large space to pull off this kind of party, with all those equipments coming in. You won’t really need much chairs and tables for dining since most of your guests will surely stand up. However, saving space for a mini-bar should also be considered because people will have the tendency to drink a lot during the party.
Food
Casino party planning is not too expensive in terms of food. It is highly suggested that you pick edibles that are easy to munch on like canapes. Your guests, after all, will mostly come for the games they can play and not to get their tummies filled. Instead of the edibles, what you should concentrate instead are the alcoholic drinks which you will offer to them during the party. You might want to hire a bartender for the party who will make cocktail drinks for your guests.

Planning The Perfect Casino Night Party
Apr 1st
Casino night parties are among the most popular themed parties for adults. They allow for the use of your creative “juices” and for your imagination to run wild! Casino nights can be very elaborate, or quite simple depending on your available resources and budget. Should you decide on a large and elaborate affair, consider hiring a company to stage it. This article will focus on helping individuals plan and stage a successful casino night on their own.
The first consideration is where you will hold the party and how many guests you will invite. Your home bar area,(if you have one), is generally the best place. If you do not have a home bar area, a den or family room is just fine. The best possible scenario is if you own a gaming bar. These are beautiful pieces of furniture which also are equipped with gaming tools and accessories. Invite the number of guests that correlates with the games you want to play, and the space available. A good policy is to invite a few extra guests, as you know that some guests will not be able to attend. Be creative with your invitations. Party stores will have invitations geared toward casino nights. A cute idea is to place a poker chip inside the invitations to set the “mood.” It is perfectly appropriate to ask a few guests to bring extra poker chips and playing cards. As far as gaming tables or equipment, consult the Yellow Pages for companies that rent them.
It is always fun to pick a theme for your casino night. A popular theme would entail having male guests dress as “high rollers,” and female guests dressing as gaudily as possible. For the guys, suggest tuxedos or suits with shiny shoes. Top hats or mobster hats look cool on the guys, too. Have the ladies wear plenty of sequins and ornate costume jewelry. A really neat touch is to play “Viva Las Vegas,”( by Elvis,of course!), as your guests enter!
Find a few of your friends who have experience, and ask them to be dealers,etc. Make sure that you have plenty of volunteers, so you can rotate them. You want everyone to have a chance to have fun. Distribute an equal amount of play money to each guest. At the end of the evening, present a “gag” prize to the most successful gambler!
A couple of final tips. Food should be served buffet style. You might want to select music by popular Las Vegas performers, such as Elvis or Frank Sinatra. Hopefully these tips and suggestions have helped. A casino night party takes quite a bit of planning, but when planned properly, the results will help you become a “hit” with your friends!
