If you are having a casino theme you can play poker and use pretzels as your ante. Most older adults like to play cards, so you can set up a tournament of their favorite card game such as pinochle or euchre. You can also find a party rental store and get slot machines for your guests.
Still Popular
Many may consider these children's party games, but many adults will still have fun playing favorites like hitting the pinata. Bean bag toss can still be used, just modify it for your party theme, for example by tossing it at a roulette wheel for the casino theme. If you want to have a cruise theme, you can try a hula dance competition or lessons. Another cruise theme activity is a fishing game, using magnetic fish and maybe throwing a slipper in there just to keep those wranglers on their toes.

Put nicknames, children's names, year of birth and any other personal tidbits on the cards. Play a trivia game about the party honoree.
