Casino Parties of Utah is in the business of creating a successful casino night event. We will assist you in the planning. We realize that if your party succeeds for you it also succeeds for us.
In the following we have listed a number of suggested steps simplifying the planning schedule for a successful party. However, depending on the size and complexity of the party and the time that you may have to devote towards the program planning, it may be advisable to contact a professional event coordinating service.
1. Number of Guests:
"BE REALISTIC"
The number of guests is a primary key, affecting location, dinner planning, and entertainment accommodations. Accurately determining this number can not only help to maximize the success but also to minimize the cost.
2. Date & Time:
"SCHEDULE YOUR DATE WISELY"..
Avoid conflicts with other major events that would diminish your guest roster. However, keep in mind, with large groups, it's nearly impossible to have all agree, you will find that all dates conflict with something, don't expect to find that one "perfect" date. Note that Friday's and Saturday's are usually the best day's and particularly successful for fund raisers. However, weekday parties are usually easer to book on short notice, and could be less costly. Corporate and private event planners should be aware that December is a very busy month, most weekends are booked early in the year, so plan well ahead for your December parties. We know it's not always possible to plan that far in advance. If this is the case, and you only have a few day's to put your party together, call us, we may still be able to help.
3. Location:
The location can vary widely, from the grand ballroom at one of the finest hotels to a private home. In choosing your location some of the keys are:
Accessibility - keep in mind winter conditions & parking availability.
Facility - Large enough to accommodate your party and activities comfortably.
Ambiance - If it's a black tie affair, or western wear, you want the location to compliment the theme.
Budget - Early planning, weekday scheduling, or outlying locations may help moderate costs.
4. Decor & Theme:
For a casino theme party, the gaming tables basically provide the decor. Additional decorations such as banners, large playing cards for the wall, and other decorations can be added. Some hosts may want their guests to dress in a specific theme such as the roaring 20's or western gunslingers. Our dealers can also participate in the theme.
5. Dinner & Snack's:
When entertaining guest for 3 or 4 hours it is essential to offer some form of food, refreshments, and drinks. This can range from a sit down or banquet style dinner to finger food or snack's.
6. Entertainment:
A casino night is not only entertaining...... it's exciting!
Leave the entertainment to Casino Parties of Utah, Inc.! We will confer with you to find the right type of games along with the optimum number of each. We want to see full action on each and every table.
7. Awards & Prizes:
Prizes can be as elaborate as a new car, a trip to Las Vegas, or a weekend getaway. They can also be as simple as a dinner certificate, an award plaque, or a gag gift. It's not necessarily the value of the gift, but the thrill of winning that people enjoy.
Awarding of the prizes should take place towards the end of the evening, and last only 20 to 40 minutes. Keep a fast moving pace to the end.
Fund Raising Tips:
There are many local merchants that may be more than willing to assist in sponsoring your event, either in sponsorship of a gaming table, or prize donations. Gaming table sponsorship recognition could be indicated by placing a placard at the table. Prize sponsorship could be recognized by making an announcement as the prize is awarded. In either case you should include all sponsors in any printed materials.
