Equipment & Games

Which casino games do you offer?

Yes, Monte Carlo Nights offers equipment-only rentals, which include delivery, setup, teardown, and pickup, though a professional dealer is recommended for the best guest experience.

Monte Carlo Nights packages include tables, professional dealers, chips, cards, and all accessories needed to run a full casino night.

Monte Carlo Nights uses a mix of authentic and purpose-built equipment. For example, roulette wheels are official, beautifully polished casino showpieces with genuine casino felt layouts, while some tables might be built in multiple pieces for easier delivery and setup.

Monte Carlo Nights does not offer slot machines, since the company’s focus is on creating a social, memorable event, and slot machines tend to isolate guests rather than encourage mingling.

Monte Carlo Nights dealers oversee equipment throughout the event, and damage or loss is rarely an issue. The chips have a funny way of finding their way into a player’s pocket after the event… but hey, that’s just the cost of doing business.

Monte Carlo Nights does not supply chairs, since venues typically already have plenty on hand.

Yes, Monte Carlo Nights offers a range of décor, signage, and theming add-ons to make a casino night more glamorous. Just inquire to see what’s available.

Our Staff & Dealers

Dealers are always included in the Monte Carlo Nights package price, with no separate charge.

Monte Carlo Nights dealers wear black pants and shoes with a white tuxedo shirt and a bowtie, while the pitboss wears a full  tuxedo. This gives our events an authentic, polished Vegas-style look.

Renting our casino equipment and having your own guests or managers deal the games? We’re all for it! We’ll even provide a crash course training session for your dealers before the event. Blackjack, poker, and the money wheel are the easiest games for guests to pick up and deal themselves. For roulette or craps, we’d recommend bringing in one of our professional dealers.

A Monte Carlo Nights pit boss is the client’s main point of contact on the night, overseeing all tables and dealers. Clients can also reach the Monte Carlo Nights office any time before the event with questions.

Monte Carlo Nights brings one dealer per table, plus one extra dealer for every four tables so dealers can rotate through breaks without stopping play. A pit boss oversees the whole team and coordinates directly with the client.

Pricing & Packages

What is your minimum rental duration?

Monte Carlo Nights standard packages include 3.5 hours of playing time, with dealers booked for a full 4-hour shift so they arrive 30 minutes early and every table is ready when the event starts.

Monte Carlo Nights casino nights start from $300, including delivery, setup, and a professional dealer for 4 hours. Final pricing depends on guest count, number of tables, event date and location.

Monte Carlo Nights does not publish set pricing online since every casino night is tailored to guest count, tables, duration, date and venue rather than pulled from a generic price list.

Monte Carlo Nights pricing can vary by date due to supply and demand. December weekends are in high demand for Christmas parties, and once a date is fully booked no new clients can be accepted for that night.

Monte Carlo Nights offers its best rates in July and August, and generally any month outside of November to January and June, due to greater availability.

Monte Carlo Nights package pricing includes delivery, setup, teardown, tables, dealers, chips, cards, and equipment for 3.5 hours of playing time. Optional extras such as Elvis impersonators, showgirls, a DJ, magician, or photo booth are charged at partner pricing.

Space & Guest Count

How many tables do I need for my guest count?

Monte Carlo Nights typically aims to have 50-75% of guests playing at the tables at any given moment, and helps clients choose the right number of tables based on total guest count.

The number of tables a venue can accommodate depends on room size and layout. Monte Carlo Nights uses a rough guide of a 10ft x 10ft footprint per table, which includes space for players and dealers. We are always available to help assess a layout of a specific venue.

Monte Carlo Nights table dimensions vary by game. For example, Roulette tables are 4′ x 8′ with 2ft of surrounding clearance for players, and Poker tables are 3.5′ x 7′ with 3ft of clearance. Full dimensions and clearances for every table are listed on each individual game page:
Blackjack Tables
Poker Tables
Roulette Tables
Craps Tables
Baccarat Tables
Money Wheel

A good rule of thumb for a Monte Carlo Nights casino table is about 10′ x 10′ of floor space, which comfortably fits the table plus players and dealer standing around it.

Seating capacity for Monte Carlo Nights casino tables varies by game. Blackjack and Baccarat accommodate 7 players, poker seats 9 players plus a dealer, Roulette, craps and the money wheel fit up to 10 players. Exact dimensions and seating capacity for each table is listed on the casino table pages.

The two measurements listed for Monte Carlo Nights tables are the table’s own size, and the extra clearance space needed around it for players and the dealer.

Monte Carlo Nights has hosted events from as few as 10 guests up to over 2,000. For larger parties in the hundreds or thousands, the casino tables become one entertainment option among several, since not every guest plays at the same time.

Monte Carlo Nights will set up wherever needed, for any size of group – that’s the beauty of a mobile casino. The team has even brought tables up a gondola to the top of a mountain and set up aboard cruise ships out at sea.

Monte Carlo Nights dealers are happy to assist guests who need help with actions at the table, such as moving chips or reading out results. Sitting tables like Poker are generally the most accessible, while standing tables like Craps have rails that may affect visibility for some guests.

Delivery & Setup

Rules & Regulations

Monte Carlo Nights casino events are 100% funny money – guests play with chips, never real cash, so there’s zero financial risk to anyone at the tables.
