Summertime means Summer vacation and for my Summer vacation, I was able to check off a bucket list dream and visit the oldest casino in the world!

Nestled along the enchanting canals of Venice, the Casino di Venezia stands as a testament to history and grandeur. On my recent trip to Venice, I had the pleasure of visiting this remarkable venue, and it was an experience that seamlessly blended history, culture, and entertainment.

A Historical Gem
The Casino di Venezia, located in the Ca' Vendramin Calergi palace, first opened its doors in 1638. This stunning Renaissance building, which once served as the residence of the doges of Venice, exudes an old-world charm that is simply unparalleled. As I approached the casino by water taxi, the sight of the palatial facade reflecting off the canal was truly breathtaking. The building itself is an architectural masterpiece, with its grand entrance and intricate detailing offering a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of Venetian nobility.

Stepping Back in Time
Walking through the grand entrance of the Casino di Venezia felt like stepping back in time. The interior is adorned with frescoed ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and antique furnishings that transport you to a bygone era. The casino has meticulously preserved its historical ambiance while seamlessly integrating modern gaming facilities. This harmonious blend of old and new creates an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and exhilarating.

The Gaming Experience
The Casino di Venezia offers a diverse range of gaming options, from classic table games like roulette, blackjack, and one of my favorite games, Ultimate Texas Hold em.to They also have a variety of slot machines. The main gaming floor, with its ornate decor and luxurious seating, provides a sophisticated environment for both seasoned gamblers and casual visitors. As I tried my luck at the tables, I couldn't help but appreciate the historical significance of the venue. Knowing that countless individuals had experienced the same thrill over the centuries added a unique layer of excitement to the evening.

A Timeless Legacy
The Casino di Venezia is more than just a casino; it is a living piece of history that continues to enchant visitors from around the world. Its timeless elegance, rich heritage, and vibrant cultural scene make it a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Venice. As I left the casino, I felt a profound appreciation for the unique blend of past and present that defines this extraordinary venue.

In a world where much is transient, the Casino di Venezia stands as a beacon of enduring charm and sophistication. My visit to the oldest casino in the world was not just a journey into the past, but an exploration of the timeless allure that makes Venice a city like no other. Whether you're a gaming enthusiast, a history buff, or simply seeking a unique experience, the Casino di Venezia promises an unforgettable adventure.

The Venice Casino may be the oldest in existence but their tables are well-kept and cleaner than most casinos that are a fraction of its age. It reminds me of iHostPoker. We may be in our 21 years in business but you would not know it by looking at our tables.

At iHost Poker, we believe the show must go on, no matter what. One of our hosts recently faced a power outage during their poker night but turned it into an unforgettable experience. By setting up candles and flashlights around the table, they created a cozy, low-lit ambiance that added a unique and intimate atmosphere to the game.
This story highlights the resilience and creativity of our iHost Poker community. It shows how we can turn setbacks into extraordinary experiences. So, if you face a power outage, remember – a little bit of light can set the perfect mood for your poker night.

Meet Cindy Smith!

Hi! I’m Cindy Smith. I started dealing blackjack for IHostPoker back in October 2022. My favorite game to deal is Blackjack. I love when the table tries to play together to beat the dealer 😎

My advice to future player is simply to have fun! Invite everyone whether you are a fundraiser or birthday party. Good time will be had by all. Fundraisers remember those big gorgeous casinos. House will always win in the end! 🙌

Favorite Quote: Losses are easier with chocolate? 😉🍫

---Thank you for all that you do, Cindy!

Why pay more when you don't have to?

Make sure the Vendor is Local or at least close:

This may be the most critical point and something that many clients were unaware of. Several casino party companies advertise on Google, claiming to be in your area, but they are not.

These “national companies” prey on unsuspecting shoppers, hoping you will book your event with them so they can call a local vendor (like iHostPoker) and try to get us to host your event for much less than they charged you. The only problem is that if none of the local vendors accepts their lowball offer to host your event, you will receive an email from the original vendor stating that they cannot host your event due to (insert lame excuse here).

This happens more often in December when casino party vendors are at their busiest

Another essential reason to ensure your vendor is local is that your local vendor knows the area better than anyone else and can anticipate the unexpected. Traffic, weather, and significant events are all things that local vendors use to plan our setup and clean-up schedules.

Last but not least, you pay a lot more for a vendor from out of town because their expenses are much higher to get the equipment and dealers from their city to yours.

Avoid vendors with 1-800 numbers.
Even if they have an address listed, ensure they are there.
If they host events nationwide, they are probably subcontracting to a local vendor.
