you are here: Casino Date Night
You might be lucky in love, but are you lucky at the tables too? This date night idea lets you both let loose and have a wee (okay, a lot) bit o' fun. We've included tips and ideas for both an at home and going out version of this date night. So if you're ready to get your game on... let's get started.
At Home Casino Night
While it may be easier to just jump in the car and head to your nearest casino, you may not want to deal with the crowds or noise you'll find there. If that's the case, consider creating a casino night at home instead. You only need a few basic things to make this night a success.
Food & Drinks
Make sure you have a beverage and snack bar set up to appeal to your needs for instant gratification while in the middle of your games. Stock it with your favorite drinks and mixers and include easy snacks like pretzels or chips.
Wagers
Most games involve some type of wager. Be creative and come up with some fun things you'd both like to bet for. It may be certain chores you want to get out of or it could be a certain number of kisses or massages. Come up with a list together of things and write them on index cards. When it's time to wager, use the index cards as chips. Whoever wins gets the "chips" to redeem at an agreed upon time.
Prizes
While the wagers may be enough, there should be one ultimate "grand" prize you are both trying to win. It can be won by whoever won the most games or however you decide.
Games
You can't have a casino night without the games! Grab a deck of cards and try your hand at blackjack, poker or any other fun game you both enjoy. With the explosion of new video games on the market you can also try at-home versions of many of the popular casino games. Consider trying Texas Hold 'Em or Clubhouse Games DS. In fact you can even play against each other online at sites like Yahoo! Games.
Hit The Casinos
Use the thrill and excitement of the surroundings of a casino as the perfect jump-start to an exciting night. Below are some tips to make it special.
- Treat your date right with a delicious dinner for two at one of the casino's restaurants or buffets.
