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.

‘NYT Mini' Clues And Answers For Thursday, July 24
Mini Crossword Looking for the answers to Wednesday's NYT Mini? Check them out here:\ The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper's larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays. Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you'll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives. The NYT Mini is a fun daily distraction that usually takes no time at all. I try to beat the standard weekday grid in less than a minute. But sometimes I can't quite figure out one or two clues and need to reveal the answer. To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers (spoilers lie ahead, of course): FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers ACROSS 1) Overhead tennis shot - SMASH 6) Dish over which Lady and Tramp share a kiss - PASTA 7) How some solve print crosswords - ININK 8) Work with dough - KNEAD 9) The Bronx Bombers, informally- YANKS DOWN 1) Like hair in a mohawk, often - SPIKY 2) Miraculous "bread from heaven" in the Book of Exodus - MANNA 3) Colorado ski town - ASPEN 4) Entrée that comes with its own knife - STEAK 5) They have five digits each, typically - HANDS Mini It's a complete 5x5 grid today, and with that comes a lot of mixing and matching to get things just right. I messed up for about three minutes because I had spiky as spike. I also had overhand tennis shot as 'server' which fit, and also started with an S, but alas, that clearly did not work out.

American Girl Goes Goth as Wednesday Addams in New Limited-Edition Doll Collab
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, The Hollywood Reporter may receive an affiliate commission. American Girl has gone goth. The Mattel-owned toy company has debuted a new limited-edition Wednesday Addams collector doll inspired by the hit Netflix series and its star, Jenna Ortega. More from The Hollywood Reporter Serena Williams Reveals Her Tried-and-True Daily Vitamin Routine When and Where to Stream the 'South Park' Season 27 Premiere Online Back in Black: Jenna Ortega and Tim Burton Break Their Silence on 'Wednesday' Season 2 Available for preorder for $295 at American Girl and Amazon, the 18-inch Wednesday doll features the moody teen's iconic pigtail braids with bangs and wears her signature black velvet dress, black mary jane shoes and black nail polish. She comes with a Thing figurine, two bags of piranhas (perfect for exacting revenge on unsuspecting bullies) and a faux obsidian 'W/M' necklace gifted from her mother, Morticia Addams. Like the rest of American Girl's 18-inch dolls, Wednesday has eyes that open and close, a movable vinyl head and limbs and a soft cotton body. It comes an exclusive collectors box with a numbered certificate of authenticity (only 6,000 will be available) and orders begin shipping on or by Aug. 21. Directed by Tim Burton and produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Wednesday season two premieres on Netflix on Aug. 6 with the first four episodes, followed by part two with the remaining four on Sept. 3. Already renewed for a third season, the new installment sees Wednesday returning to Nevermore Academy, 'the first time you've ever willingly returned to a school,' quips Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) on the ride there. Season two also stars returning actors Emma Myers, Isaac Ordonez, Luis Guzmán, Hunter Doohan, Georgie Farmer, Oliver Watson, Moosa Mostofa, Joy Sunday and Victor Dorobantu. Newcomers include Steve Buscemi, Haley Joel Osment and Billie Piper. Watch the official trailer for the new season below. In their first-ever joint interview, Burton and Ortega explained what drew them to Wednesday. 'I've never done television, so it was the idea of exploring something on a longer time frame, and she's an interesting character. As much as a middle-aged man could feel like a teenage Wednesday Addams, I feel those things. And she's a character that's all about being subtle because she doesn't really have a huge range of emotions,' Burton told The Hollywood Reporter. Ortega added, 'She's also one of the few protagonists who is able to get away with that, aside from villains — who tend not to have emotional growth or depth. … I will say maybe I feel even more attached to her now.' It's not the first time that Mattel has crossed into Addams family territory. The El Segundo-based company also released Monster High dolls last year inspired by Wednesday and her werewolf BFF, Enid Sinclair, and a Fisher-Price Little People figurine set.
