Cincinnati’s UNO Deals a Wild Card with Social Club in Vegas

Las Vegas, known for dazzling entertainment, now hosts the world’s first UNO Social Club at the Palms Casino Resort. Launched with Mattel, which owns the iconic card game born in Cincinnati, Ohio, this pop-up runs July 18–20, 2025. Created in 1971 by Cincinnati barber Merle Robbins, UNO’s simple yet ruthless gameplay has thrilled millions. Now, it’s getting a vibrant Vegas makeover for select enthusiasts.

A Playful, Nostalgic Experience

Unlike typical casino games, according to Parade,  the UNO Social Club skips real-money gambling for fun, social vibes. Instead, it transforms a luxury suite into a colorful haven with UNO’s red, blue, yellow, and green décor. For instance, custom game tables, a private bowling alley, and pool tables create a lively atmosphere. Moreover, a dedicated game host keeps the action flowing with Las Vegas flair. Guests can enjoy classic UNO or try variants like UNO Golf, UNO Teams, and UNO Show ’em No Mercy. Meanwhile, themed cocktails and photo ops make it perfect for social media.

Although access is exclusive and limited to a TikTok contest winner and their guest

Mattel plans more pop-ups across the U.S. in 2025. Consequently, fans nationwide may soon join the fun. Ray Adler, Mattel’s Vice President of Games, said, “We’re reimagining game night for connection.” Indeed, UNO’s Cincinnati roots shine in this bold, playful setting.

Despite some X posts wishing for UNO as a casino game, Mattel clarified no wagering is involved yet. Nevertheless, for fans loving Skips and Draw Fours, this is worth watching. Follow@UNO for updates, as Cincinnati’s wild card spreads nationwide.
