“Uno” Casino Clubs Are Opening in Vegas and Elsewhere

Usually when people talk about Vegas card sharks, it’s a reference to gambling on hardcore games like poker . . . but some people are also really sneaky good at “Uno”.

The Palms Casino Resort just opened the first-ever “Uno Social Club” in Las Vegas.  It sounds like it’s a temporary thing for select groups of “Uno” enthusiasts, featuring tons of “Uno” gaming, food and drinks, as well as game-inspired décor, bowling, pool, and other awesomeness.

According to Mattel, which owns “Uno”, more of these temporary suites are expected to open across the U.S. later this year.

It sounds like it’s mostly a stunt made for social media hype . . . so they’re not bringing full-on “Uno” gaming tables to actual casino floors . . . yet.  But if you get a secret joy out of making chains of Skips, Reverses, Wilds, and Draw Fours, it could be something to keep on your radar.
