Destination VIP, Inc., an online provider of destination management
services and vacation packages, has recently expanded its
entertainment services to include coordinating private events such
as martini mixers and world-class Texas Holdem poker tournaments for
business executives. World-class poker tournaments are no longer
reserved for professional
Texas Holdem poker
players and celebrities playing for charity.
Texas Holdem
Poker is hot. Bravo and ESPN currently dedicate a large
portion of their primetime programming to airing poker tournaments.
Celebrities are placing their bets at the poker table for their
favorite charities. And, millions of people are going online to hone
their Texas
Holdem poker playing abilities, and to take part in
the latest trend sweeping the American culture.
Organizing private poker tournaments where clients can play for real
or for play is one way Destination VIP has leveraged this trend, and
corporate executives are finding the new entertainment services
attractive.
“I was looking for something new to do in Vegas, but something that
was fun, unique and different,” says Brian Martin, president of
Vacation Connections. “Destination VIP suggested a
Texas Holdem
poker tournament given the current popularity of the game,
and set the whole thing up for us.”
Destination VIP secured two world-class poker tournament players to
attend the event where they quickly covered the basics of poker play
and the value of hands. The event was hosted in the Rain Man Suite
at Caesar’s Palace, the same 3,500 square feet duplex suite featured
in the 1988 Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman film. Attendees were given
$500,000 in fake chips to play the tournament which was fully
catered with an open bar, and was staffed with butlers and servers.
In the highly competitive travel and hospitality management
industries, Destination VIP has built its reputation as the
destination management company of choice by creating memorable
entertainment events. The company has coordinated world-class events
for such clients as Proctor & Gamble, World Wrestling Entertainment
and AskJeeves.com.
Initially a bachelor party planning service, the company expanded
its services to include greater VIP access to “hot spots” in their
destination cities. The bachelor and bachelorette party service grew
to include corporate event planning, and the Las Vegas-based
operation now offers packages and services in Las Vegas, Los
Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, St. Maarten and Reykjavik, Iceland.
