Fundraiser - Casino Night - Details?

I'm looking for details on how folks have run casino nights. Our Boosters are looking at doing this since the guy that ran the golf tournament for the past 10+ years has left the area. The local golf people are happy that the drunken mess that this had become will no longer take place. The Boosters know the basic concepts and operations and such, but are looking for any details, gotchas, watch out for's, good things to know. What else did you do at the event, food, other activities, etc. What makes this event work really well, and what makes it the fundraiser from hell.

Basically doing the 'due diligence' on the event. Nobody we've talked with can remember anyone doing a casino night around here so nobody has any lessons learned about hosting one of these.

Feel free to PM me or send links.

Thanks
