Casino Parties are Our Area of Expertise

Steve Phillips and many of his senior staff have worked in real casinos, giving our Monte Carlo or Las Vegas Fun Nights an air of authenticity. This is especially important if you are planning a fundraiser or very large event. Our staff of croupiers (dealers) and pit bosses (supervisors) are very personable, extremely professional and come to the events dressed in formal attire, ready and willing to entertain and teach your guests how to play the various games seen in casinos around the world, such as: Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Poker, and Slot Machines.


Our Texas Hold 'Em Poker tables can be used as part of your casino party, or as a Texas Hold 'Em Tournament, complete with tournament directors and card room managers. Our license, through the Washington, DC Lottery Board-Charitable Games Division, allows us to provide casino night fundraisers and Texas Hold 'Em Tournaments for fundraising efforts for charitable organizations and all 501-C non-profit organizations.

Making It Special


EVENT PLANNING from start to finish. With close to 30 years experience, we know what works. Our party planners and event managers can offer help with site selection, catering, transportation, lighting, audio visual equipment, and complete event production from A - Z.

And They're Off!


HORSE RACE PROGRAMS are also one of our specialties. We have two excitingly different programs to choose from. Our Cinema Horse Racing is a custom piece, made in a TV studio. Unlike some commercial pieces, ours is crisp, clean and full of action. This program can stand on its own, or can be utilized as an overflow mechanism for the Casino Party. We have racing programs that can be customized for your group.


We also have our version of the old cruise ship horse racing that we call our Race to the Finish Horse Race Program, which consists of six almost life-sized horses, painted to look like real horses. They are set on a stand with casters that moves down a race track based on the roll of oversized dice. Both programs are highly interactive and fun for all!

Themed Parties


THEME PARTIES to embellish the already exciting Casino Fun Night or to stand on its own. We have many props and decorations to enhance your special function. Choose from our fun-spirited Roaring 20's Speakeasy/Cotton Club theme, or our more elegant Monte Carlo theme, Tropical Paradise, Wild West, Viva Las Vegas, Beach and Boardwalk, Mardi Gras, Carnival and Game Room... just to name a few.


If your budget allows, we have a very talented group of builders in our prop shop who can create an entire theme, so make sure to ask as the possibilities are endless!
