Wow, what a fun Sinatra Rat Pack Casino Social! 🎲✨

Everyone looked amazing in black and white, taking us back to the swinging ‘60s and the golden days of Sinatra and the Rat Pack at the Sands Hotel. 🎶 Todd Anderson wowed us with his smooth Sinatra-style tunes, while our culinary team served up delicious retro snacks like Dean’s Deviled Delights and Sammy’s Swingin’ Shrimp. 🍸🎤

The candy ci******es were a big hit—adding the perfect playful touch of old Vegas nostalgia! 🚬🍬

And of course, everyone looked fabulous striking a pose at the photo booth! 📸🖤🤍
