How it's worked before: Casino Collectibles Association Expo

In June 2026, this keynote debuted at the CCA's 33rd Annual Expo at South Point Casino — a six-actor cast, period audio, and projected historical imagery, performed for an audience of 50–60 attendees in a single 60-minute session. The event included a meet-and-greet with photos before and after the show. Attendees received a custom collectible casino chip — a nod to the audience themselves.

"Yesterday was the best. You did so amazing — the actors looked incredible, the costumes and props were excellent. This kind of thing you created truly has potential."
