Look up Speakeasy and "roaring 20's" - for some good ideas.
Watch the movie "some like it hot" for good decorating ideas - as well as The jazz singer and maybe some silents if you can to get some good ideas.
Play old jazz from the 1920's - Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbeck (the Wolverines) Jack Teigardten, Benny Goodman, Joe Venuti & Eddy Lang - guys like that.
Give yourself a nickname - Bugsy, or The Duke, or the King or something like that -
Problem is, most invitations were extended by word of mouth - with a password since prohibition was in full force at the time.

Well, the mob used to run most casinos.... running guns... evading fibbies... Also, the big mobs were Irish and Italian, and they're both Catholic - stuff like crucifixes on the wall.
FBI most wanted invitations? I don't know, sounds like fun though - hope you have a good time!

Make sure you put cotton in your mouth like Don Corleone in The Godfather
