The Floor
The Casino
Every ticket comes with $2,000 in play chips for the tables. Blackjack, roulette, craps and poker, dealt all evening.
The chips are for fun and nothing else — they have no cash value, they can’t be bought or redeemed, and nothing is wagered for money at any point in the evening.
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.
