Let us Help Plan Your Party

Casino party games offer a great opportunity for beginners to learn to play without the pressures of a real Las Vegas casino. For example, if you have ever been to one of our casino parties where there was a craps table, you may have heard some crazy phrases referring to the roll of the dice. Some do serve a purpose, but for the most part, they are said to add humor or spice things up. But just so you can get an idea of how the game works, we have outlined some basic craps call-outs. Below is a list that our dealers use or have heard in Las Vegas Casinos.
