Is Uno really coming to Las Vegas casinos this weekend? Here's what to know.
Uno fanatics may have seen rumors shuffling around social media this week that the family card game would soon be available at Las Vegas gaming tables, right alongside poker and blackjack.
A statement from Uno quickly dismissed the rumor as just that in a post to its social media accounts on Monday.
'We hate to be the bearers of bad news but the casino floor isn't ready for us yet,' the statement read. 'We've been told that while they do have tight security, it's not robust enough for UNO at this time.'
But that's not quite the end of the story. While Uno may not be becoming a permanent fixture in Sin City just yet, here's what is happening:
This weekend, a suite at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas will transform into an 'UNO Social Club,' in collaboration with Mattel, the card game's owner, according to a joint announcement released in May.
The club will feature Uno expansion packs and game variants, and the suite, which includes a private bowling alley, will be decked out in the game's iconic red, yellow, blue and green colors.
The exclusive event is not open to the public. The temporary experience is available to only 'one lucky winner and a guest" who will have 'the chance to stay, play, and go wild in one of the most colorful suites in town from Friday, July 18th – Sunday, July 20th.' The winners have not been publicly announced as of Friday morning.
While the game tables in the suite will be stocked with Uno games galore, there will be no gambling involved.
For Uno enthusiasts feeling the equivalent of 'Draw 4' anxiety over missing the event, don't feel discarded; there will be more opportunities.
'UNO Social Clubs will pop up across the country later this year, with experiences in bars and venues in major U.S. cities,' according to the release. 'Each event will transform everyday hot spots into the ultimate game night destination with UNO-themed drink menus, tournament-style play, photo moments, and more.'
According to an Uno social media post, the social club will start appearing in bars in Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Atlanta and Austin, Texas, in August.

Listen: Katseye releases new version of 'Monster High's' 'Fright Song'

A music video features Katseye members Sophia, Lara, Megan, Yoonchae and Manon dressed as mythical creatures from their different cultures. Megan portrays the Huli Jing, a fox spirit, while Lara is the shapeshifter Rakshasa, Daniela portrays a werewolf and Sophia plays the vampire known as Manananggal. Yoonchae portrays Jangsanbeom, or the white tiger, while Manon represents a sea monster. They perform in various high school hallways and by lockers. The collaboration also features dolls for each of the Katseye members. "Katseye embodies our core values of Monster High -- bold creativity, fearless self-expression and a commitment to lifting up others. Katseye grew up as fans of the brand. We're thrilled that this collaboration brings our iconic Monster High anthem to life in a whole new way, while continuing our mission to create a world where everyone is proud to be their authentic self," said Mattel executive Krista Berger, in a statement, per Deadline. The Monster High TV series starring Gabrielle Nevaeh Green, Courtney Lin and Iris Menas aired on Nickelodeon from 2022 to 2024.

Yankees partner with Hamilton for 10th anniversary fan experience
The post Yankees partner with Hamilton for 10th anniversary fan experience appeared first on ClutchPoints. Anyone who says musicals and sports don't mix hasn't seen the New York Yankees join forces with Broadway for a one-of-a-kind celebration of Hamilton's 10th anniversary. When the Yankees host the Washington Nationals on August 25 at Yankee Stadium, the night will pay tribute to the Tony Award-winning musical with memorable performances, commemorative giveaways, and a salute to the show's legacy. The first 10,000 fans to enter the stadium will receive a limited-edition co-branded Yankees and Hamilton cap — a collectible merging two of New York's most iconic institutions. Those who want to guarantee their hat can purchase special event tickets, with $10 from each ticket going to Beyond the Stage Door. This nonprofit supports the development of diverse talent in theatrical management. The evening will kick off with actor Christopher Jackson, an original Hamilton cast member who played George Washington, performing the national anthem. Later, during the seventh-inning stretch, current Broadway cast members Stephanie Umoh, Morgan Anita Wood, and Cherry Torres — the Schuyler sisters — will perform 'God Bless America,' as reported by Andrew Gans of Playbill. Tony Award-winner Renée Elise Goldsberry, who originated the role of Angelica Schuyler, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Goldsberry, who recently released her debut album Who I Am, will add another layer of artistry to this cultural crossover night. The Yankee Stadium video board will show Hamilton-themed visuals throughout the game and connect fans to the cultural phenomenon that began in 2015 and revolutionized musical theatre. Lin-Manuel Miranda, who created the musical based on Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton, was part of a historic run, winning 11 Tony Awards, a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and earning more than $1 billion. 'Hamilton Cap Night' means much more than a promotional activity—it represents how far the musical has traveled in American culture, politics, and education. This partnership with the Yankees reflects the show's legacy and its place in New York culture.
