More than 300 TREC members and guests attended our 2025 Young Guns Casino Night on Thursday, April 10, at Thirteen Thirty Three.

With décor inspired by the 2001 film Moulin Rouge, attendees enjoyed an evening of casino-style gaming and networking with their peers in Dallas’ commercial real estate industry. Casino Night is regularly our largest annual networking event for young professionals members.

Proceeds from Casino Night benefit the Young Guns’ annual community investment project, which is completed in conjunction with TREC Community Investors and Dallas Catalyst Project: Mill City. The 2025 Young Guns Community Investors Project will be announced in mid May.
