DHOM Bootleggers and Billionaires - A 1920s Bash

About This Event

BIG BILLIONAIRES & BOOZY BOOTLEGGERS

YOU GET PAID ON ARRIVAL... BUT WILL YOU LEAVE A WINNER?

GATSBY PARTY COCKTAILS & SPEAKEASY BAR WITH GIN

TRADE THE OFFICE FOR THE GOLDEN AGE OF JAZZ, GIN AND AMBITION. 

 

Billionaires: We know you've got money and we know you want people to know it. Pack the silver spoon. Don that flapper dress. All your favourites are in the Gatsby Hall. We’ve got the three ‘C’s covered. That’s right: Champagne. Charcuterie. Cocktails. Indulge to the music that is almost certain to turn into a roaring show by 9pm. Flaunt your wealth at the Swindler’s Auction. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous you might even consider mixing with the street rats and rumrunners for a nip of gin in that speakeasy you heard of….

Bootleggers: When you make your money on the black market - nice clothes are a give away. We know you couldn’t care less for Gatsby garb. Toss on your just passably clean shirt, slip on a tie and don’t forget your tommy gun. At the Speakeasy the three ‘G’s are covered: Gin. Games and Good Grub.  This speakeasy don't serve no prawns or caviar ... only bar snacks of real hard folk.  Show the posh punters who really runs the town. Test your luck at the tables or build a syndicate to out-bid the billionaires for the good stuff at the Swindler’s Auction.

From blackjack and speakeasy shenanigans to awards and exclusive prizes at auction, every decision could make you a legend of the night.

THE SWINDLER'S AUCTION - OVER $3,000 IN PRIZES!

When arriving at the DHOM Bootleggers and Billionaires you receive a starting wad of cash – You decide how to win big so you can bid big! 

 Taking a dress up award will also line your pockets before the auction! With over 15 prizes on offer at auction, you'll want to make the most of the opportunities to win on the blackjack and roulette tables inside the rumrunner's speakeasy.  Or, if you prefer the simple life, why not offer a simple wager over a game of backgammon, dice or even toss a coin!

If risk isn't your forte, or you've simply lost the lot - you can get more bucks at the speakeasy bar... for bootlegger's fee of course. 

SUITS, BLING & DRESSES OR VESTS, SHIRTS & CAPS
NOT A SUIT PERSON… NOT A WORRY.
