The casino party theme is legendary amongst offices and for entertaining important groups of clients. If you’re in charge of organizing your party, you should consider holding it in your office, or in a hotel conference room.
You will be pleased to learn as the party organizer that you can hire trained casino staff to come to you. They will bring all the equipment and practically run your night for you. Just look for your local private casino organizer on the internet. This will free you up to enjoy your party and mingle with your guests.
One major decision you will need to make very early on is whether or not to play with real money. I can tell you now from experience that the majority of private casino parties do not play with real money, though of course you can do if you wish.
My recommendation to you is that you charge an up front fee to your guests. Upon arrival, hand out chips. The top 3 chip holders at the end of the night share out the kitty. This way nobody loses any more money than anybody else and your event remains fun.
Get your guests thinking about your casino party theme in advance by making your invitations into clubs, spades, diamonds and hearts cut out from card. Make sure you state on your invitations that it is a black tie event and cocktail dresses for the ladies.
Sprinkle dollar shaped confetti around your venue.
The games I would play at your party are the 4 easiest ones that everybody knows; 21, Blackjack, Craps and Poker. Craps can be taught in a few minutes if anybody doesnt know how to play.
You could set up a karaoke machine for your party, this being the only time I would make that suggestion, not everybody is going to be into gambling after all. You should provide some delicious finger foods and all the usual drinks.
