Hip Vegas Decor

• To create the mood for your exclusive Casino Royale soiree set the table with a solid dark tablecloth and build an old fashioned "house of cards" as your centerpiece.
• Use a hot glue gun to hold the cards in place, but don't tell your guests your magical secret. They will think that you're trickier than Penn and Teller.
• Cluster small dark votives in clear or gold glass around the table; just make sure to keep the candle flames away from the house of cards.

Music

• Skinny black tie traditionalists might want to spin Sammy, Dino and Sinatra as the musical accompaniment for the evening.
  
• You can blare a little Elvis or the Beatles' "Love" soundtrack from the eponymous Cirque du Soleil smash.
  
• On the other hand, if you prefer to roll the dice on Vegas icons Celine Dion, Liberace or Barry Manilow, then what happens at your Vegas party is going to have to stay at your Vegas party. Lady GaGa anyone?
