Tips & Warnings
If your casino night food will all be self-served, keep all dishes full throughout the night so that guests don't ever have to ask for more. It's helpful to have caterers who can keep track of the food while you entertain your guests.
Make sure that you have sufficient appetizer-sized plates available, since guests can go through several during the night.
If you will be serving dips and sauces with your food, make sure that you select both mild and spicy versions to insure that all your guests will be satisfied.
Keep cream-based dips cold at all times, as they can spoil and make guests sick if left out too long.
