Casino Themed Tree Ornaments

Nothing says the holidays like some casino themed christmas tree ornaments. These glass beauties will look wonderful on any tree, but they are especially suited for the gambler in your life. Our favorite is the craps table. It makes us want to get a wee stick man, and some wee dice to throw on it.

Roulette Poster by Paulo Romero

Its sometimes difficult to find tasteful art that has casino elements in it. More often than not, casino themed art tends to lean toward the flasy or trippy vegas theme. This roulette poster by Paulo Romero on the other hand, is subdued, and reminds us of long afternoons sipping cocktails in game rooms while we enjoy the titillation of some roulette. To us, this piece just exudes that casino style we love.

Giant Casino Dice

So, you think you're a big gambler? Not as big as these Huge Acrylic Heavy Duty Casino Dice. Don't be fooled, as that picture doesn't do them justice. These babies are 4 inches tall. While they may not be so practical for your everyday craps game, they make a very cool display item for your desk, or bookshelf. You could probably also get some good laughs when you bust them out at your next casino night.

Jack Colton Says: How to Survive a Killer Hangover

Why is there a picture of some sexy woman's behind on the cover of this article about hangovers?

Because Jack Colton says so, that's why.

Jack Colton has plenty to teach us about life in Vegas, and this article about How to Survive a Killer Hangover, is nothing short of critical survival information.

Here's a snip:

Quick ways to help avoid hangovers:

• Know your limits. Don’t drink too much.
• Eat before you go out, and snack throughout the night.
• Drink a bottle of water in between drinks.
• Drink some AH+ Hangover drink before or after drinking. It helps.
• Take a couple of Ibuprofen before going to sleep.

Now that you know how to avoid one, go let Jack teach you about what to do if you got one anyway.

Jack Colton Says: Bare Topless Pool Lounge Rules

So very few of us can reach that level of style and sophistication that just oozes from Jack Colton. He is our oracle for anything related to the party scene in Vegas. And today he provides us with a titillating review of Bare Pool Lounge, a topless pool and lounge for the party-goer.

It's an intimate atmosphere that most would kill to enjoy: topless women, millionaires, celebrities, perfectly mixed summertime drinks, sundrenched cabanas, and a cocktail staff keen on serving your every need. Enter BARE Pool at the Mirage Hotel and Casino. Neatly tucked away within a secluded section of the Mirage swimming pool that has full view of Dolphins swimming in the Secret Garden, this exclusive pool party takes its daytime operational cues from the best that its Las Vegas nightlife counterparts offer, and delivers it all in a package that directly caters to some of the most beautiful and powerful people in all the world.

Not everyone is guaranteed entry into BARE Pool, nor is any cabana reservation 100% set in stone. This 450 capacity venue is quite literally the only one of it's kind within any of the MGM Mirage properties (MGM Grand, Mirage, Treasure Island, Mandalay Bay, NY NY, Luxor, and Bellagio), which means casino hosts are often flooding BARE Pool with their high-rollers, celebrities, models, and powerful executives.

*As an example, while at BARE I recently ran into Leonardo Dicaprio just before meeting a guy who casually mentioned how he just bought Aloha Airlines. It's just that VIP.

Read the rest of his review over at Jack Colton.com. And visit Bare's official site while you're at it. As for us.. we're heading to take a cold shower.

Bringing Some Casino Art Home

Ever wander about a casino, and stare at all the beautiful art that decorates it? Most casinos spend a considerable budget on art, all to give your eyes something beautiful to look at while you visit.

If you are interested in bringing some art into your own home, you don't have to go out and buy crazy expensive paintings or sculptures at auction, you can go a long way by simply getting some beautiful high-quality prints.

They don't necessarily have to be casino-related, but hey.. you're at CasinoSnob.com, so we figure you'd appreciate these:

Visit Art.com for a massive selection of prints, frames and more.

Jack Colton Says: How to Plan a Bachelor Party

Well, spring is here, and summer is not that far behind. And we know what that means... wedding season. Of course, with wedding season, comes BACHELOR PARTY SEASON! Las Vegas is THE place for a bachelor party, but it is also a viscious jungle of tourist traps. Who oh who can save us from becoming lunch for some hungry capitalist?

JACK COLTON TO THE RESCUE!!

As always, our favorite Vegas style-ite Jack Colton has the goods on how to plan things right, and see that the night goes off without a hitch for you and your friends.

Here's a peek:

STEP # 1) SELECT THE RIGHT GROUP OF PEOPLE:
You always want to have a good balance of personalities in any group situation, and a Vegas Bachelor Party is certainly no exception. Avoid any awkward “unvites” by limiting your invitation list to people that you (and your bachelor) know well and that you’ve already had lots of great stories with. And whatever you do, don’t be afraid to leave “that guy” (the one that everyone secretly hates) at home.

Step # 2) Choose a date range that works for most of the group.
Plan your Vegas Bachelor Party keeping everyone’s work schedules and known family events in mind, and since you are a large group of guys – try to not book your big trip on a very busy Holiday weekend (especially if you plan on going to any nightclubs). Once you’ve nailed down a couple of solid possibilities (do not rule out mid-week dates), check out Expedia, Travelocity, and Orbitz for the best airline and hotel rates. Talk to everyone and agree on the best time to get everything booked and, if possible, have everyone book their flights and hotel rooms at the same time so that everyone will get to town and be in the same place at around the same time.

Head over to Jack's site for the rest of the list and more!

Oh.. and for a great movie on how NOT to have a Vegas bachelor party, check out Very Bad Things, it still gives us the willies!

Update:
David Boyer, author of Bachelor Party Confidential, has piped in on the comments section, and we wanted to make sure his link was link-able to his book and website, so here it is:
