Take a trip built around Pai Gow. Dedicated playing blocks paired with great meals and cultural moments—if you can peel yourself away from the table.

Each trip we work with a host casino to reserve Face Up Pai Gow tables just for Pai Gow Travel Club members, plus hard-to-snag dinner tables, tickets to shows, art and design excursions, guided nature walks, and did we mention reserved Pai Gow tables? Play blocks are coordinated; dining and cultural moments are always opt-in. Arrive solo or come with a friend. This is an inclusive, women-led group.

A woman-owned and operated Pai Gow Poker travel concept built for people who already love the game. Like really love it. Dedicated play blocks, optional dining, culture, and show access within a very light framework.

Why Join the Club?

The image shows a tall vertical sign with the word 'CASINO' spelled in neon lights. The neighborhood street sign reads 'Cliff 100 St.' Palm trees are visible around the building, and the sky appears to be at dusk or early evening.

  • We all know the feeling of finally getting to the table only to find it full or an absurd minimum. We work with the host casino to organize two daily playing blocks exclusive to PGTC members. The only thing left to chance here should be the cards.

  • We are foodies and we love cocktails. We love art and we love nature. But sometimes all we want to do is play Pai Gow. We offer (awesome) culinary and cultural distractions every day, in case you’re interested in taking a break from the cards. On a hot streak? We’ll catch you next time.

  • Every member of PGTC agrees to operate with respect. We are an inclusive, welcoming group and expect that of all members. Although we subscribe to a low pressure style of framework, we hope that people will make lasting social connections.

How Does It Work?

  • Each trip starts on Friday evening and ends on Monday morning, with the reserved gaming occurring over the weekend. Friday kicks off with a casual welcome cocktail, leaving the itinerary open for varying arrival times. Saturday and Sunday both have two playing blocks, plus one cultural and one culinary distraction each day. Monday always includes a morning send-off activity.

  • PGTC will provide a room block code for the preferred casino hotel, which will operate as the Pai Gow home base for the trip, but members are not required to stay there. If you join any culinary or cultural experiences that require transportation, PGTC will arrange a comfortable roundtrip transfer from the host casino. If members want to meet up or ride separately, they can. We are here, but we are also flexible.

  • Each full day there is one culinary and one cultural experience to enjoy with the group. We work hard to make leaving the table worth it. Each experience is optional and priced a la carte. We know what it’s like to finally have your luck turn around when you’re supposed to leave, or suddenly looking for a distraction to change your luck. Part of your fee goes to helping us keep things flexible for everyone.

  • We work with casino hosts to provide two-hour playing blocks exclusive to PGTC members four times per trip: twice daily on Saturday and Sunday. You can rely on it being Face Up Pai Gow with at least the Fortune and Ace High bonus bets, and a $50/hand minimum. Once our two-hour block is up, the table becomes public. That means that you are welcome to stick around longer, but the table essentially folds into general casino play.

  • Trips are aimed to fill one Pai Gow Table, that’s just five members plus your host. We are perfect for solo travelers or traveling with one friend. Although every extra-curricular is optional, your host will attend all events, so you never have to worry about showing up alone.

  • The fee for basic participation is $500 per person. This covers four reserved gaming blocks, a welcome cocktail event, and flexible access to the opt-in dining and cultural itinerary. Culinary and cultural excursions range from $25 to $200.

    Costs are always shared in advance, include transportation from the host casino (if needed), and can vary per city and experience. In the sample New Orleans itinerary, if you opted in to every itinerary item, your trip would total $1,000. The breakdown is $500 PGTC trip fee plus $500 in excursions: Saturday’s architecture walk ($50) and dinner ($200), Sunday’s lunch ($75) and jazz/cocktail night ($150), plus Monday’s aviary visit ($25). The PGTC welcome cocktail is complimentary.

    Travel expenses, spending money, and the very important gambling budget are not included.
