I am having a wedding reception after we get back from our wedding in vegas and am trying to think of an inexpensive centerpiece we could make to keep up with the vegas theme

Make big dice out of cardboard or Styrofoam.

You could get minature slot machines on some of the tables. Use the basket where the coins fall out to put the flowers. Or, leave out the flowers and let your guests have some fun by providing them with a few quarters to play the slots. Under one chair at each table put a special sticker or something and let the person who has it take the centerpiece home. Thats a centerpiece people would actually want.

Here are several with diff. looks and price ranges.
Another thing you could do is use some elmers glue to make a house of cards with decks from the dollar store or cover a cheap vase with them. Inside a few of the triangles that form when you make the "house of cards" you can place a small tealight for ambiance. (make sure you glue the tealight down in case the house gets blown over. Place a few heavy stones on the bottom layer to weigh it down.)
You could also glue four of them together to make a sleeve and set a votive holder inside of it. Alternate tables between each of the suits. Have a diamond table, a clubs table, spades, hearts, jack table, queens, kings, aces, jokers.
If you are having it in a tent you could make a really cool "chandelier" by stringing playing cards onto fishing line and hanging them from the ceiling in a group.

-The guest tables could feature bold red napkins on white skirted tables sprinkled with poker confetti.
-poker-theme placecard holders,
-signs that name the tables after famous old Vegas casinos: The Golden Nugget, Binion's Horseshoe, Jackie Gaughan.
-decks of playing cards....have some made with your names and wedding date
-$1 lottery tickets for guest favors
-Songs such as :Ol’ Blue Eyes’ "Luck Be a Lady,” “The Lady is a Tramp,” and “Fly Me To The Moon,” Elvis’ "Viva Las Vegas," Nat King Cole’s “I'm Shooting High,” and Ella’s “Ace In The Hole.”

my sister in regulation did the comparable ingredient. For centerpieces, she have been given poker chips , cube and partaking in cards and purely positioned them everywhere in the middle of the table. because of fact the main significant area of the middle piece, she had a image of them on the marriage in Vegas so everybody could desire to work out her and her new husband. It became cute and extra healthful completely. by making use of the top of the reception, human beings have been stealing enjoying cards from all of the table and having a interest or 2!

Buy some of those clips that stand up and hold pictures. Put playing cards in the clips. Attach some dice. When I used to go to Atlantic City, I saw in the gift shops dice that have holes in them. Perfect for hanging from the clip stands. Make little mats for the clipholders to stand on, make the mats out of green felt and decorate them to look like roulette wheels.

I would go to a dollar store and buy some poker chips and playing cards.
Drill a hole on the poker chips and drangle them down from a flower center piece.
The cards can be placed on tables as the numbers. Make sure your table has the only king and queen ;)

I am no decorater, and this might sound stupid.. but how about a vase with some flowers and those big fuzzy dice hanging out? That sounds pretty cool.

have the colors of your linen and such match the chips/theme- red/blk/ylw etc.
maybe get some mardi gras beads to lay out at the tables too- homage to the orleans hotel
this might be something too
