Professional dealers run every table and will happily teach you the game. Everyone starts with the same stack of chips, and the biggest stacks at the end of the night earn bragging rights until next year.
The classic. Get to 21 without going over. Easiest table to learn in five minutes.
The loudest table in the room. Roll the dice, cheer for strangers, learn what "hard eight" means.
Pick a number, a color, or a hunch. Then watch the wheel and hold your breath.
Texas Hold 'em, naturally. Friendly stakes, serious faces, and one dealer who's seen it all.
Catered bites and a hosted bar for the evening. Included with your ticket.
Complimentary valet at the door, so the drive up is part of the show. Rideshare is always welcome too.
One evening, every grade, no name tags required. The tables give you something to do with your hands and an easy excuse to say hello.
Give your name at the door, pick up your starting chips, and head for the bar. Doors at 6:00, tables open at 6:30.
Move between tables as you like. Dealers teach as they go. Lose it all? Chips are play money; ask a host about a friendly top-up.
Final hands at 8:45. The biggest stacks in the room get called out, and the rest of us get a great story. Bragging rights are the only currency.
No. Everyone gets the same stack of play chips with their ticket, and there's no cash on the tables. The dealers are professionals, the games are real, the money isn't.
Everyone will. That's most of the fun. The dealers are there to teach and will walk you through any game. Blackjack and roulette take about two minutes to pick up.
This one's for parents only, 21 and up. Consider it the one night the Social Club and Dads Club are officially telling you to get a sitter.
Yes. Your ticket covers catered bites and a hosted bar for the evening. Come hungry.

Black tie optional. If you've been waiting for a reason to wear the tux, this is it, but a jacket or cocktail dress is every bit as welcome.
