The P.S. Elizabethan - Theme Night Ideas
Mississippi Hot Jazz/Casino The Old West Mardi Gras Carnival Viva Las Vegas
Mississippi Hot Jazz/Casino Nights Event:
Our most popular. We offer a typical night’s entertainment as would have been experienced in the late 19th century as our Paddle Steamers journey down the mighty Mississippi in the heart of the Deep South.
A hot, steamy night. The Elizabethan's unique sliding roof is open to the balmy breezes beneath the stars. Your guests are welcomed on board by Cap’n Andy and his crew. A powerful Mississippi cocktail is offered by smiling waiters. Upstairs the resident 6-piece New Orleans band are playing the latest tunes. Strolling cardsharps are mingling, performing acts of magic and relieving guests of their watches and small change. Saloon girls on the town are handing out casino chips to all and sundry.
The Paddle Wheels start to slowly generate enormous power. Guests cheer as land slips away on the starboard bow and the night begins. After half an hour our bewhiskered Maitre d' announces that the Creole Buffet is now being served in the Lower Saloon. The cardsharps work the tables trying to spot the 'suckers' displaying more virtuoso tricks of the trade.
After the meal the saloon girls lure the guests into trying their luck at the tables. Our casino would consist of a minimum of 2 American Roulette and 1 Blackjack table. The Band plays on the Upper Deck while cajoling guests into buying them drinks. Around 30 minutes before docking the croupiers announce the last 3 spins and hands. Guests 'cash in' their chips for receipts before venturing upstairs for the Prize Auction. 3 prizes are suggested. Those guests with the most chips 'bid' and win the best prizes. A fine and memorable night. GUIDE COST BASED ON 100 GUESTS: (ELIZABETHAN) FROM £90 PER HEAD INC. VAT/SERVICE (EX. DRINKS). BASED ON 200 GUESTS (DIXIE QUEEN) FROM £71 PER HEAD.
