This year's Tableau event will feature the Valley's best interior designers competing for honors with lavish, over-the-top tables at which they and the public will then dine.  Following dinner, all guests will place their bets - Monte Carlo - style - at gaming tables.  Proceeds from the event will benefit Ryan House.  The event will be held at Chaparral Suites Resort, 5001 North Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale.  Prior to October 15th, the ticket cost is $100, and $125 thereafter.  Tickets can be ordered online at www.blacktie-arizona.com.  The price includes dinner and "faux" money for the gaming tables.  Additional information is available at www.ifdatableau.com
