Can we hire just the casino equipment without staff?
Unfortunately the answer to this is no.  We are entertainers, like a band but way more fun, and all the games come with trained Croupiers/Dealers.  The only time we have hired out our equipment without staff is for Television and Photo Shoots.  Our casino equipment has been used on Shortland Street, Outrageous Fortune, The Almighty Johnsons,  (to name a few).

Is there an age limit?
No.  Our casino games only use "funny money" which makes them no different to playing a board game or cards at home, we prefer to use the word "GAMING" instead of "gambling".  We are not responsible for the venues and they may have an age limit so pays to check with them.

Do you have to know how to play the games?
No.  Our staff are trained to teach as well as deal and if someone doesn't know how to play at the table they will help them to learn.  We also provide "Blackjack Strategy Cards" at all the Blackjack tables and these make it much easier to play.

How much does it cost?
This depends on the venue location (we can provide our entertainment throughout NZ, however so locations will incur additional travel costs), time of year and number of games you book.  Either send us a quote request form on here or pick up the phone and call 0800 LAS VEGAS.

Do you charge a deposit?
Yes 50% of full price, unless you prefer to pay in full up front.  Deposit invoices will be sent once you have completed our online booking form and payment of deposit is expected within 7 days of deposit invoice date.  Balance to pay invoice is usually sent in week before function date.

Do you refund deposits if we cancel?
We don't refund deposits, however, if you cancel with more than 7 days notice we will allow you to re-use your deposit for a booking within then next 12 months (additional charges or discounts may apply depending on the time of year booked e.g.. Xmas dates are the highest priced and Jan/Feb the lowest).  Cancellations with less than 7 days notice will forfeit their deposit (at the discretion of Las Vegas Functions).

Do you supply prizes?
No, prizes are up to you to supply, however, we can purchase prizes on your behalf if you require and the costs would be added to your fee (only available in Auckland).

What sort of prizes should we provide?
It's really up to you.  We have seen everything from an overseas holiday to a packet of cards.  Some good ideas are:  Bottles of Wine or Bubbles; Poker Sets; Toy Cars (just like the casino gives away cars but on a much smaller scale); Gift Baskets; Tee Shirts (printed with the name and date of your function) etc...

How many prizes should we provide?
We recommend a minimum of 3 and the maximum is up to you.  It does depend on how big your function is and what style event you are doing.

How big should the venue be?
This will depend on how many games you are having, how many people, whether you are having a sit-down meal or not and the style/shape of the venue.  As a rule of thumb, if you were just looking at guests and casino games, look for a venue that will cater to the amount of guests you have "Dining or Banquet" style and this will allow enough room for the casino games and people to move around freely.  If you were also having a sit-down meal then just double it.  When we email a quote we also send out an example room layout to give you and idea of the various game sizes and space they take up.

Do you supply tables and chairs?
No, we require you or the venue to provide tables and chairs for our casino table tops.  In Auckland we can supply a limited number of trestle tables at no extra charge but this is subject to availability.  Most venues prefer us to use their tables and chairs so they don't have to remove them from the room.  We can also supply a limited number of table cloths in most of our main locations but once again, request early if you need them.  There are no extra charges for the trestles and table cloths if available.

Can you provide MUSIC?
In Auckland we have an MP3/iPod with a large playlist that includes casino style and party music and we can also supply a speaker and a microphone - all are subject to availability and extra charges may apply.

Do you have a PHOTO BOOTH?
Yes in AUCKLAND only we have an awesome open photo booth with a choice of 6 different backdrops - large enough for big group photos.  The photo booth comes with a photographer, printed photos on site and/or digital photos.  Price on application.

Are you looking for staff?
YES - we are always on the lookout for new staff, especially people with casino gaming experience.  All our staff work on a casual, on-call basis and our busiest periods are June-September and November-December (the busiest by far).  Most of our Croupiers/Dealers also have full-time day jobs and work for us for a little extra cash and because they enjoy it.
