Lot 9: Casino Royale

Looking to host a festive soirée to celebrate a graduating class, special occasion, or reunion with old friends? One lucky party will be escaping Las Vegas and heading to Palo Alto for an unforgettable Casino Royale Night!
This year, Gala's co-chairs Vivian Chen and Zack Hou are doubling down, graciously opening up their back-to-back homes once again to host this epic event and offer some of the most popular games.
In Vivian's chic entertainment space, three Mahjong tables will be ready for action, while Zack's backyard will transform into a one-of-a-kind Casino, offering Poker, Blackjack, and Roulette. A conveniently placed fence opening allows seamless movement between these two lively areas, ensuring you don't miss a moment of the fun.
To enhance this high-roller experience, wine and champagne will flow freely, and delicious appetizers will keep you fueled throughout the evening.
While skill and chance will be at play, the one thing you won’t want to forget is this: what happens in Palo Alto stays in Palo Alto.
It’s time to place your bets, raise a glass, and go all in on this winning evening!
