My RAs and I have been planning a "Casino Night" event for half of this semester, and it finally happened last night! We made tons of decorations, food, props, and did lots of planning. There weren't as many students in attendance as I had hoped for, but those who were there really enjoyed themselves. Most came dressed up and ready to play poker and black jack, and had to get past the bouncer at the door using a fake ID (with international mafia pictures) we made for each of them. I was a waitress for the night, and enjoyed serving drinks and talking to people. The pictures are the only things that do it justice, so here you go... Thanks to Kristina and Ira for the pictures!
we made fake IDs for each person, and there were numbers written on the back and a chance to win prizes based on your number
we had LOTS of food, including "pigs in a blanket", and we made toothpicks topped with all the card suits - so much work, but really classy, I think!
MORE food!!!
we served Shirley Temple and Arnold Palmer as drinks

my favorite picture... the three "baristas" with masks
Looks like you had a blast! This is one way to take a break from an undoubtedly stressful semester. Maybe when the school year is over, you RAs can go to a real one to celebrate. Cheers!
