Internet reacts with memes as UNO arrives at Las Vegas casino tables, but there's a bummer
UNO is heading to Las Vegas, and the internet can't keep calm. Mattel has announced the first-ever UNO Social Club at the famous Palms Casino Resort. For three days, from July 18 to 20, people can join in for real-world UNO games, fun, and competition. One lucky winner will even get a chance to stay in one of the most luxurious suites in Vegas. Mattel's Global Head of Games, Ray Adler, said, 'We created UNO Social Clubs to reimagine what game night can be, bringing people together for real-world fun, connection, and a bit of friendly competition.' Adler added that this Las Vegas event is just the beginning of more such UNO experiences. Internet reacts with jokes, memes, and hilarious takes It didn't take long for the internet to turn this announcement into meme gold. One person joked, 'I can't wait to lose my life savings in a game of high-stakes UNO.' Another said, 'This is going to end with multiple murders,' hinting at the chaos the +4 card usually causes. IT'S OFFICIAL. UNO IS OFFICIALLY BEING ADDED AS A TABLE GAME IN LAS VEGAS CASINOS. (via @reviewjournal) A few called it 'Gen Z marketing,' while someone else warned, 'That plus four card about to end lives, not friendships now.' Clearly, UNO at a Vegas casino is giving people all the meme content they needed this week. Player 1: I'm about to win $100,000 in UNO in Las VegasPlayer 2: *slaps down a draw 1: In Las Vegas down $10K and counting at the UNO table That plus four card about to end lives not friendships now What's the catch? But here's the catch: UNO won't actually be used for gambling on the casino floors. It's all part of a social event and not an official betting game. So, if you were dreaming of betting your chips on a +4, sorry, that's not happening.
