Saturday evenings the dress code is strictly enforced. 1920s apparel is preferred, cocktail attire is accepted. Cocktail attire includes a button down collared shirt and tie with slacks and dress shoes; or dress and dress shoes. *Tennis shoes, yoga pants, T-shirts, denim, or other casual clothes are not considered acceptable on Saturday evenings.
Our gambling is for entertainment purposes only, you cannot win real money. We offer blackjack, craps and roulette with professionally trained dealers, who are happy to assist inexperienced players. Each stack of casino chips is $15. Remember: “The house always wins!”

If you pulled out a twenty dollar bill in the 1920s, you’d be buying a round of drinks for the entire bar! To keep you in the world of the play, all prices at The Palace Theater are listed in cents. When you get your bill, you will discover that one cent in 1927 equals one dollar today.
