Las Vegas Nights is a 1941 movie starring Tommy Dorsey.

A Casino Night (also called Vegas Nights, Las Vegas Night, Monte Carlo Night) is an entertainment event with a casino theme.

Casino Nights can be tied to a fundraiser to raise money for a specific cause (such as cancer research, community services, youth organizations, etc.) by having each participant purchase a ticket for the event. Each participant receives a specific amount of fun money that can be used to purchase gaming chips at the gambling tables. When the participants have lost their chips they may purchase additional fun money, increasing the amount of funds raised for the charity. The participants engage in various casino games (such as blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, poker, wheel of fortune, etc.) in the attempt to accumulate the largest amount of gaming chips. At the end of the evening the participant who managed to win the most chips may receive a prize, which is often awarded by a representative of the charity.

When a casino night party is just for entertainment it usually works in the same way as a fundraiser casino night except that guests are given the fun money free of charge.

Casino Nights function strictly as entertainment events with no real monetary gambling involved.
