Young Vampire: Dracula

You enter Alternate London and night has fallen by the time you reach your destination, a large mansion deep within the city.  You walk up to the gates, which mysteriously open when you are about to ring the doorbell.


You walk through the gates on a gravel pathway and head towards the front door.  As you ascend the stairs, you look up to see the large wooden doors open on their own, as expected based on what happened with the gates.


After passing through the front doors, you enter a spacious and dimly lit parlor.  The parlor is surprisingly very clean, with not a speck of dust to be seen.


There are paintings mounted all over the walls.  Suddenly, the front doors behind you shut with a slam, causing you to turn and look.  As a slight breeze rustles a few strands of your hair, you face the parlor again and your gaze falls upon a young vampire, who seemingly appeared out of nowhere.  



The vampire clears his throat quite loudly and arrogantly proclaims:

"My name is Dracula, and I am the great ruler of the vampire race.   You, human, are here to serve me from the GOM.  I command you to solve my problem for me, because I haven't been able to do so, and I demand the answer to be presented to me as soon as possible."

Dracula tries to intimidate you with his speech, but you know that he is just a young boy with a heavy weight to bear on his shoulders, and willingly take up his case.  After listening to his explanation, you find out the following:

Dracula's birthday is coming up, and all 2,519 vampires he rules over will be attending his party.  For the banquet, he will be setting up tables in the humongous garden.  Each table can fit 27 vampires.  How many tables will he need to set up so that all of his guests will be seated?
