Las Vegas isn't exactly a city synonymous with family friendly fun, but a new venture from the Palms Casino Resort is looking to bring some good, clean fun to Sin City.
The Palms launched the first-ever 'UNO Social Club' in Vegas this past weekend,, and there are plans for more locations to launch across the U.S. later this year, according to Mattel, which owns UNO.
'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,' Ray Adler, Vice President and Global Head of Games at Mattel told Newsweek.
'The UNO Social Club in Las Vegas is just the beginning, and we're excited to see how these new experiences inspire players to show up, play hard, and make unforgettable memories.'

The Palms, which is located off the strip in Vegas, turned its Kingpin Suite into a UNO-themed paradise, complete with colorful decor and a private bowling alley.
UNO noted on Instagram that the games were not placed on the casino floors directly, despite some rumors.

'We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but the casino floor isn't ready for us yet,' the account wrote. 'We've been told that while they do have tight security, it's not robust enough for UNO at this time.'
UNO, which was invented by a barber named Merle Robbins in 1971 and was acquired in 1992 by Mattel, the second-largest toymaker in terms of revenue (behind Lego) has grown into one of the most successful brands in gaming over the last 30 years.

Mattel and the Palms are banking on the game's popularity to be strong enough to get people away from their kitchen tables and into brick-and-mortar UNO-inspired clubs.
According to the Palms, more UNO Social Clubs will pop up around the country later in 2025, using bars in major cities as hosts.
