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.

Israeli music legend Efraim Shamir brought in for police questioning
Efraim Shamir, famous for his work in the popular Israeli rock band Kaveret, is believed to be under suspicion of incitement to terrorism and violence against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israeli singer Efraim Shamir has been brought in for questioning by the Israel Police national crime unit Lahav 443, the police announced Wednesday. Shamir, famous for his work in the popular Israeli rock band Kaveret, is believed to be under suspicion of incitement to terrorism and violence against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Speaking to Maariv, Shamir's lawyer, Yair Nahorai, said that his client denies the accusations and is against violence of any kind. Some reports have alleged that Shamir made a post on social media about Netanyahu, saying, "A lying son of a liar must die." Regarding this, Nahorai said they would respond to these accusations after Shamir is finished speaking with the police. A history of controversy on social media Speaking to Ynet, Shamir said he didn't know why he was being questioned. The singer is known for his controversial and argumentative social media posts and openly negative view of Netanyahu and the current government. For example, in 2019, when Nechama Rivlin, the wife of then-president Reuven Rivlin, passed away, Shamir posted on social media "Why not Sara?" in reference to the prime minister's Sara Netanyahu. Speaking to Ynet, he suggested there may be a connection between his online activity and his being called in for questioning. "It may be because of posts on Facebook, but I really don't know," he told Ynet. This is a developing story. Solve the daily Crossword
