Just when you thought the Las Vegas Strip couldn’t get any wilder, Mattel dropped a bombshell of nostalgia-meets-nightlife with the launch of the UNO Social Club at the legendary Palms Casino Resort. And no, this isn’t some gimmicky pop-up. This is a full-blown, immersive experience that brings one of the world’s most beloved card games to life, Las Vegas style.

Let’s get one thing straight up front – this isn’t a casino game. There’s no gambling here. It’s pure, unfiltered fun designed to bring people together over strategy, cocktails, and a healthy dose of friendly trash talk. UNO Social Club is what happens when childhood memories grow up, dress in neon, and get their own private bowling alley.

Walking into the UNO Social Club suite feels like stepping into a living, breathing version of the game itself. We’re talking bold pops of red, yellow, green, and blue across every wall, floor, and piece of furniture. The space has been tricked out with custom game tables, color-themed lounges, branded neon signage, and even a private UNO-themed bowling alley. And yes, there are cocktails to match each color of the deck, because of course there are.

The suite was originally introduced as part of a TikTok contest where a few lucky fans scored a once-in-a-lifetime weekend getaway. Now, Mattel and the Palms are making the suite available for public booking, so if you’re planning a guys’ trip, bachelor party, or just a wild Vegas weekend, this might be the most original suite you’ll find anywhere in town.

The UNO Social Club isn’t just about playing the classic game, it’s about exploring new, high-energy ways to interact with it. The club introduces exclusive new UNO formats you won’t find on your living room table:

• UNO Show ’em No Mercy: An aggressive, take-no-prisoners version of the game where cards fly, rules get tougher, and friendships are almost tested.
• UNO Teams: Two-on-two action where communication and strategy are key. Think couples or bros vs. bros, Vegas-style.
• UNO Golf: A smart twist where players aim to keep their scores low by eliminating high-value cards across multiple columns.

Each game session is hosted by a personal UNO concierge (yes, that’s apparently a thing now), who explains the rules and keeps the party flowing.

The Bigger Picture

Mattel says this is just the beginning. The Vegas UNO Social Club is the first of many planned pop-ups in major U.S. cities later this year. Expect to see UNO-branded bars, lounges, and event spaces featuring themed cocktails, tournaments, and highly Instagrammable backdrops.

According to Mattel’s Global Head of Games, Ray Adler, the goal is to reimagine game night for the modern world, offering a mix of nostalgia, competition, and connection in a space that’s as stylish as it is fun.

As a travel guy who’s seen just about every kind of hotel experience, I can confidently say the UNO Social Club is a wild card, in the best possible way. It blends childhood memories with adult indulgence, and it’s exactly the kind of unexpected fun that makes a trip to Las Vegas memorable.

Whether you’re in town for a weekend getaway, a big event, or just looking to try something totally different, the UNO Social Club at the Palms is definitely worth checking out. It’s bold, it’s playful, and it’s one hell of a flex when you post those pics on Instagram.

Just don’t forget to shout “UNO!” when you’re down to your last card.
