Night elf names are melodic and often quite long, which sometimes leads to harder to pronounce names as well. Many are simple enough despite their lengths though, as is the case with most names in this generator. Surnames tend to reflect nature, especially the night or the moon, but there's a wider variety of themes as well.

WinStar World Casino and Resort is an American tribal casino and hotel located in Thackerville, Oklahoma, near the Oklahoma–Texas state line. It is owned and operated by the Chickasaw Nation. The casino opened as the WinStar Casinos in 2004, and was expanded (with a 395-room hotel tower) and renamed WinStar World Casino in 2009; its 370,000 square feet (34,000 m2) of casino floor made it the world's largest casino.[2] In August 2013, WinStar Resorts completed a major expansion project, which added a new 1000-room second hotel tower that was divided into two phases; this also added a new casino that is attached to the tower. As a result of the completion of this expansion, the casino overtook Foxwoods Resort Casino to become the largest casino in the United States and one of the largest in the world based on gaming floor space. WinStar has 8,500 electronic games, a 55-table poker room, 100 total table games, Racer's off-track betting,[3] high limit room, keno, and bingo.[4]

Casino-themed Decorations You Can DIY
You’ll be amazed at how doable your party decorations can be. It just takes some creativity and whatever gambling elements and novelties you have or can buy!
Assemble a centerpiece (1) for each guest table using playing cards and play money arranged in tin pails, with stacks of poker chips, dice, and other accessories alongside.
The birthday cake (2) can be a simple, home-baked chocolate one. But then present it with flair on a 3-tiered cake stand, with Oreo cookies piled on the lower tiers to resemble gambling chips or cash winnings!
For the entryway welcome display (3), wow guests with oversize dice that you can rent from a party supply vendor or find a way to craft your own.
Then, of course, the different display tables – a sweets or dessert station (4), a drinks bar (5), and a favor table (6) – can incorporate even more of the casino elements. Think party bunting made of playing cards, martini glasses holding dice and chips, table linens with card-suit patterns, and signage and serve ware all in black, red, and white.

Casino Party Menu a la Vegas
Even your food spread can be a play on the Las Vegas gambling world. You can opt to go fancy with one or two dishes, then offer popular finger foods, snacks, and dips – just very wittily named!
If you choose the simpler approach, treat your guests to appetizers like your own concoction of casino snack mix (1) and a fun dice-shaped cheese “ball” (9). For main dishes, have them serve themselves from a sandwich buffet (3) with playing card food labels, plus trays of Black Jack Chicken (OR Jackpot Skewers) (4) and fruit skewers (6) dressed up with playing cards.
If you’re looking to simulate more fancy casino fare, serve up classic shrimp cocktails (2) in martini glasses or a variation of shrimp, avocado, and tomatoes tossed with a tangy “Sin City Dip” (8). Prepare your favorite steak recipe to be presented as “High Steaks” (5) on the food buffet, along with vol-au-vents (puff pastry) with cream cheese and caviar (7) in the color motif of red and black.
