CASINO NIGHT - February 13, 2025

On February 13, 2025, the LVMS PTA will be hosting our biggest fundraiser of the year! We hope you will join us at The Chandelier at Flanders Valley for an incredible night out. Upon arrival, you will check in, collect your funny money, and find your seat upstairs. You can then grab a drink (wine and beer are included with admission) and head downstairs, where there will be hors d'oeuvres to enjoy while you play casino games from 6:00 to 9:00. If you need a break from the fun downstairs, you can return upstairs to enjoy the buffet-style dinner and photo booth. At the end of the evening, you can cash in your funny money for raffle tickets for a chance to win a prize in the tricky tray portion of the evening. The drawing for those prizes will take place from 9:15 to 10:00 while dessert is being served. 

This is the perfect opportunity to learn how to play casino games without any pressure! All games are played with your fake "funny money" with a $100 buy-in at most tables. Our professional dealers are there to help teach and guide new players while providing a fun environment for those with more experience. The pit boss will also be running special games throughout the evening with chances to win bonus funny money. 

There will be many ways to win real prizes too! We will have door prizes, Casino Night scratch-off games, and Panther Plinko, where you are guaranteed to win funny money or a prize valued up to $150.00. Plus, there is a grand prize for whoever cashes in the most funny money at the end of the evening! More details on the prizes will be released in January. 

Whether you are looking to enjoy a special pre-Valentine's Day date with someone special or let off some steam with some friends, this is going to be a very special night with something for everyone! There are a very limited number of tickets available, and if you buy before December 31, you will receive a voucher for one free "special game" run by the pit boss—a $20.00 value. 

Tickets go on sale December 1, but our LVMS PTA members will have a week of advanced ticket sales beginning on 11/25! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Melanie at brattonmelanie83@gmail.com.
