How it works

Seat, suite,
transfer — sorted

Event packages through us bundle the fiddly parts: guaranteed entry, rooms inside the casino property, airport transfers and a host introduction on arrival.

Every event on this page runs inside a licensed casino venue with on-site responsible gambling support.

Guaranteed entry

Your seat is contracted when you book — not a waitlist, not a maybe.

Sleep upstairs

All packages include rooms in the venue — the lift beats a taxi queue every time.

Door-to-door

Airport pickup, luggage to the room, wake-up calls timed to your table.

Host introduction

A named host meets you on night one — useful people to know.

18+ Only

Entry to every casino event on this page is restricted to guests aged 18 years and over. Photo ID is checked at the door of each venue, tournament floor and salon — carry it, or you don't play.

Responsible play

  • Set a spend limit before the first hand and stick to it — a buy-in is entertainment, not income.
  • Walk away from losses rather than chasing them.
  • Don't play tired, upset or under the influence.
  • Use the venue's break areas and self-exclusion tools whenever you need them.
  • All partner venues provide on-site responsible gambling support and voluntary self-exclusion.

Warning — risk of gambling harm

Gambling can be addictive and may cause financial, emotional and relationship harm. If you or someone you know is struggling, seek help immediately. Self-exclusion and counselling services are confidential and free.

From the felt

Guests on the night

POKER CHAMPIONSHIP · 2024

"Bubbled the final table and still rate the weekend five stars. BrightHeartWave had the reef booked for the morning after — smartest scheduling I've seen."

J. Marchetti
BACCARAT GALA · 2024

"Charity shoe, live band, harbour at midnight. Even my partner who doesn't play said it was the best night out of the trip."

W. Adeyemi
HERITAGE TOURNAMENT · 2025

"An invitational in the desert sounds like a film pitch. It plays like one too — small field, big personalities, zero pretension."

Event questions

What players ask us before committing to a table.

Yes — packages include a contracted seat, confirmed in writing before you pay the deposit. Invitational events need host approval; we arrange that for you.

Absolutely — and we'll build them a parallel itinerary (spa days, harbour sails, food tours) so nobody's waiting around the rail.

You get a full refund on the event portion, and we'll happily rebook you into the next fixture or convert it into a regular stay.

Gala events include dinner; tournaments include daily breakfast and the post-session supper. Everything else is à la carte — the restaurants at these venues are worth it.
Seats are limited, literally

Tell us which night —
we'll hold your chair.

A single gala seat or a full tournament package with flights — send dates and we'll confirm what's left.
