Connecticut is known for its high-end casinos, where adults gather to enjoy a night or two of no-holds-barred fun and games. Not necessarily so for bar mitzvah parties at a high-end hotel, but this is Plan-it Vicki, and ladies and gentlemen, you are about to be dealt in to Carson’s casino-themed bar mitzvah party!

Escort cards were set in sleek acrylic trays on a bed of poker chips. Ante up everyone and come right in!

Grab your custom straw and enjoy your “Jackpot Juice” responsibly.

The ballroom of the Delamar West Hartford was transformed into a high roller casino with black tablecloths and splashes of fiery red napkins, complimented by uplights throughout. The light-up centerpieces matched the color scheme and were topped by casino-themed numbers that popped when the lights were dimmed. Deal me in!

Cocktail hour was highlighted by a rousing hand…err…round of Coke and Pepsi.

Please don’t forget to sign the custom acrylic display, a memento for the mitzvah boy to look back on for years to come.

A giant LED wall was flanked by moving heads of light and fronted by thematic playing cards. The lacquered black stage emptied onto a gleaming playing cards dance floor. The overall look of this installation by the ET Events Group made for a spectacular centerpiece to a fun night of frivolity.

Introductions were started by our proud hosts, who gave way to the mitzvah brothers, and finally the guest of honor himself.

That shirt looks equally spectacular on the dance floor or up in the chair during the traditional Hora!

Time to try their luck at a few hands of poker or to roll the dice on some roulette.

Or to stop by our 3D photo booth and snap a pic or two.

Mom got into the game, sporting a fun pair of sunglasses on the dance floor.

There is no truth to the rumor that our heavily stocked candy bar may have fueled all that energy on the dance floor. None whatsoever 🙂

And while there was room for all to march to the beat of their own…

…no one was leaving this casino empty handed. From custom trucker hats, to poker sets, to awesome hoodies, there was something for everyone at this party!

Mazel Tov Carson and Family, this party really came up aces!

Easy! Done! Enjoy!
