I did a cake for someone that got married in vegas and I did a sheet cake with 2 cake dice on it. I added laminated playing cards and gold chocolate coins. It turned out cute. I have also made the wilton slot machine cake. Hope that helps!

You could do a doll cake that was a cross between a show girl and a bride.

You could also decorate a cake to look like the famous welcome to Las Vegas sign...

Maybe change the wording to read Welcome to so and so's bridal shower.

Another idea would be to make an umbrella cake and have casino chips raining down.

Great Idea with the dice cake...but how do you do those blocks...I tried cutting out the blocks...but it had sooo many crumbs.....

If you use pound cake and a loaf pan...that might reduce the crumbs. To frost them, you could use the icer tip. Maybe even cover them in fondant.

I have done the dice two different ways. I baked a pound cake in my smallest sheet cake and cut them out and stacked them to the height I wanted. You could also buy the sara lee premade pound cake and cut them out of that. The other way is I bought some little debbie square snack cakes to make the dice. I stacked 2 of them together and then frosted the whole thing smooth and added the dots for the dice. It was easy! I went to party city today and noticed that they have lots of casino decorations...you might go there to find some other things to embelish your cake! Hope all that made sense! Good luck!
