You can celebrate the holiday just by talking at a large table. And you can try a little and make an exciting evening on a certain topic. If you want to visit Las Vegas, play a casino or Russian roulette, feel like James Bond or his beautiful companion, then arrange the evening in this interesting style.
Invitations
This is the first thing to consider when preparing for a casino-style party. It is appropriate to make invitations in the form of playing cards. The card in the form of a dollar bill will look original. And you can arrange them in the form of tickets to Las Vegas - no less interesting idea.
In the invitation text you need to indicate the time and place of the holiday, indicate the nuances of the dress code and ask to call back or write an answer. It is also worth considering whether you will rent a room, because the time of your casino-style party depends on the rental price. In the invitation, indicate the start and end time of the holiday.
Dress code
What to wear at a casino style party ? Of course, the success of your event depends on how not only you but your guests are prepared. An outfit in the style of a casino should be presentable, luxurious and festive. Men can wear a classic suit, a vest or tuxedo will look spectacular. Men's accessories in the form of suspenders, butterflies, cufflinks or watches on a chain will complement the image.
Dress in the style of a casino should be long - evening. A large neckline, stiletto heels, lace, stockings, boas and long gloves - all this will create the image of a fatal beauty. High hairstyles or Hollywood curls, a combination of classic arrows and red lipstick are an addition to a spectacular look.
You can also limit yourself to a specific color. Women choose a dress of the desired shade, and men - a scarf, tie or bow-tie to match the companion. The main thing is that they look luxurious and harmonious.
Selection of premises
You can hold the event in your home environment, but for a grandiose party in the style of a casino, a spacious restaurant or cafe is more suitable. Ideal if you can find a room in which there may be a pool table or roulette. They can be both an element of decor and entertainment for guests.
The design in the style of a casino should be designed in retro style, classic or ultramodern. Las Vegas is associated with a large number of casinos, lights and guests in elegant outfits. Also consider that you need to issue:
- bar counter;
- play areas;
- tables with refreshments;
- dance floor;
- place to relax;
- zone for the thematic photo shoot.
In decorating, do not use any ribbons, confetti: you need to create an atmosphere of pomposity and luxury. For registration, it is best to choose red, black, white and green colors. You can combine them, use only a few shades or make the main one color. A classic black and white combination is also acceptable if your holiday will be in the retro style of the 50s. The main thing is a sufficient amount of space for the celebration.
Decor Ideas
Properly selected jewelry will allow you to create the right atmosphere. You can set the well-known sign “Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas!” As a decoration at the entrance. You can make it from cardboard or plywood and decorate it with a blinking garland.
Decorate the room with garlands too: there should be as many as possible, because in Las Vegas there are a huge number of lights. Complete them with images of playing cards or other casino attributes. Drape the windows with heavy curtains, cover the furniture with a satin or velvet fabric. Decorate the room with the inscriptions "Las Vegas", "Casino" and "777".
Try to find casino-themed balls or use regular helium in matching colors. Add large playing cards to the room, and make dice out of the boxes. They can also be used as tables. Fix other attributes (chips, dice, cards) in the form of a garland and hang them around the hall or decorate the tables with them.
To add some fun, hang up posters with stars, photos of people relaxing in casinos, and Las Vegas cityscapes. And to give the atmosphere more chic, use boas, feathers, cigars and other objects in a retro style. A tower made of playing cards, dice placed on the edge, bouquets of banknotes and stacks of chips will look very impressive and original. Such trifles organically complement the atmosphere of the casino.
Making a place for a photo shoot
At the festival you will need to make a photo of the party in the style of a casino, which will correspond to the theme of the evening. These are not only pictures during the holiday. It is recommended to arrange a special place for a photo shoot.

You can make drawings with cars and other valuable prizes. The red carpet will look expensive and luxurious.
Staff
To make the party perfect, you need to do staffing. Be sure to hire a croupier - it is he who will set the tone for your evening, be able to explain the rules of gambling and track the players at the table. Also hire a bartender who will prepare delicious cocktails and interestingly serve them. You will need a professional photographer who can take beautiful photos during the evening. And of course, a DJ who will select the perfect musical compositions.
