Casino Event Decor and Themes

When producing a Casino Night party , it is always a nice added touch to the gaming tables and professional dealers to add Las Vegas-style props and décor. This is a great way to embellish your event. SWFL Casino Parties can add glitz and glamour without breaking the bank. From giant dice and playing cards, neon signs, and classy, white canvas palm trees, there are countless options to choose from to make your event a sure-fire hit.

Greet your guests with a larger-than-life volcano equipped with a smoke machine that can almost make you feel the heat; or try a lit archway beset by our white canvas palm trees to evoke a classic Gatsby-style theme for your next event.

Fun's Not Dead!: People Are Just Looking In The Wrong Places

Fun's Not Dead: People Are Just Looking In The Wrong Places

According to the Washington Post: “ Americans have forgotten to have true fun ," as though they have misplaced it like a sock.”

Not only does the team at Show Biz Productions know how to have fun, we provide the vehicle to have fun. Unfortunately, people are addicted to their phones and "smart" devices in lieu of making real, true connections. We create an environment for people to put away their devices and truly interact all in the spirit of fun.

The most effective wa y we do this is through our Casino Parties at which people have the opportunity to play authentic Casino games for both fun and prizes. It’s the original social network as people pocket their devices, learn social skills, statistical skills as well as well as having interactions with each other: all for FUN! As no real money is involved, it gives everyone the opportunity to be a high roller and a big spender without suffering the consequences. At the end of the night, they have the opportunity to win a memento of the night that they broke the bank. At that point, if they want to return to their devices, they can now take a selfie with their big stack of chips and share the fun with their friends and family!

How to embellish a james bond party

No James Bond-themed casino party would be complete without our Sean Connery and Daniel Craig / Bond impersonators. Our 007 impersonators are very realistic and can meet and greet your guests as they enter the event. You can also have an awe-inspiring Aston Martin sports car at your party entrance. To complete the set, include the ever-present Bond girls as either companions or enemies. To portray our beloved secret agent's high-class air, Bond parties should have a martini bar as well as a casino with a Monte Carlo or Las Vegas backdrop. Having a casino allows you to experience some of the best James Bond moments at the Craps, Poker, or Blackjack tables; this will give everyone the opportunity to feel like 007 himself.

To complement this classy theme, we can offer entertaining extras such as a green screen backdrop or photobooth with James Bond motifs. You can also assign a hidden assignment to your guests when they come, or you can assign each guest a character and perform the part yourself.

Entertainers

Fortune tellers, caricature artists, cigar rollers, showgirls, cigarette girls, and James Bond villain impersonators are all fun extras that can mingle with your visitors and provide countless opportunities.

Shucker's celebrates 100 years Fort Myers Beach restaurant holds 1920's-themed bash

With men in suits and women in 1920's flapper outfits, Shucker's at the Gulfshore and Cottage Bar celebrated 100 years of being on the beach Saturday with a casino-themed party that paid homage to its roots and raised money for Fort Myers Beach Elementary School.

Patrons gathered around poker tables, blackjack tables, a craps table and a roulette wheel as part of the fundraising efforts for the school. Guests purchased play money, with the biggest winners earning prizes such as weekend getaway vacations and jet ski rentals while the band Smack Daddy played music from the The Cars and Eddie Money.

"We are just absolutely blown away at the response from the community," Shucker's General Manager Brian Nagle said.

"I think this is what Fort Myers Beach needed right now," he said. "It's just a great way for everybody to come together for teachers and students."

The owners of Shucker's were all in town for the festivities, with co-owners Greta Reinfried-Corazza and Dana Gosford remarking on how much times have changed since their arrival on the Beach in the 1960's when they attended Fort Myers Beach Elementary School.
