    Default Ideas for a Las Vegas Casino Themed Basement

    I finally decided to finish my basement and am soliciting everyone’s ideas for a casino theme. Here are a few of my initial ideas, although space, feasibility, and cost could be issues:

    • Wall mounted big screen television with some type of black board on each side to post game results and odds (i.e. sportsbook).
    • A bar with 2 or 3 built in video poker machines.
    • A small counter with bars that extend to the ceiling and a “Cashier” sign hanging near the top.
    • Fake entrance doors built into the drywall with large glass/window inserts. Perhaps I can place a large mural of the Vegas strip behind these doors to give an inside/outside appearance.
    • Stands for my pachislos to rest on that also serve as storage benches.
    • Crazy colored casino carpeting.

    I’ve already looked at the game room pictures that others have posted in a different thread and these have helped tremendously. If anyone has any other good ideas….or even pictures……please post them here. Thanks!

    I'm finally making some progress with my finished basement. Attached is a picture of some casino plexies that I've picked up in recent weeks. I would love to find about 6 more like these, but don't see very many for sale. If anyone has one that they'd like to sell...or if you know of a place that sells them, please let me know. I've emailed a few online slot machine vendors with no luck. All I'm looking for is the flat plexie that would be relatively lightweight and easier to ship. Thanks.

    Well, I finally finished my basement...sort of. I still have some work to do on the overall decor. I'm hoping to one day find 4 stools with The Price Is Right theme on the back similar to my Wheel of Fortune stools. I'm also down to just 4 more pachislos on my want list - Harley Davidson, Indiana Jones, Rock You Queen, and Spin Luck (to complete the set)...and I need 4 more large casino plexies for the long wall of machines.

    thats a great looking setup

    looks more like a parlor and less like a basement

    I thought I'd post some pictures of my new mural for my doors. I don't think I'll ever successfully remove all the air bubbles behind it.

    I also picked up this Star Wars slot machine plexiglass display sign when I was in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. I wish signs like these were easier to find. I could use about 3 more for my walls. I saw a Deal or No Deal sign on CL in Florida, but the seller must not have been interested in shipping it to me. If anyone has one and is looking to get rid of it, please send me a PM.
