The Floor
Chips & the Raffle
Every ticket comes with $2,000 in casino chips. Play them at blackjack, roulette or craps — or walk them straight over to the exchange table and trade them for raffle entries.
$1,000 in chips buys one raffle ticket. You arrive with enough for 2, which is yours whether or not you ever sit down at a table. Play well and you walk to the raffle with a good deal more than you came in with.
The Bar
Beer & Wine Are On Us
Every ticket includes beer and wine all night. No drink tickets, no tab, no counting. Cocktails and spirits are available at a cash bar.
Come Dressed
Cocktail Attire
A step up from the office — a sharp suit, a good dress. Not black tie, and you do not need a tuxedo. If you want to lean into the deco of it with beading, a feather, a bold lapel, you will be in excellent company.
