In conjunction with a tweet up, Zappos held the final table of their poker tournament at the Inn Zone. Over the last several weeks, employees have been playing several qualifying tables in order to make it to the final table. This was the 2nd poker tournament Zappos has held.
There was a good crowd of Zappos employees at the Inn Zone cheering them on. Joe A., who was the runner up in the last event, was able to outlast everyone else and take home the trophy. Congratulations Joe!
Having your corporate headquarters in Las Vegas comes in handy for many reasons. After work you can stop by the grocery store for milk, bread and slot machine play, and if that isn't cool enough, almost every convention that takes place on the earth happens right down the street.
And last week we were here for the Consumer Electronics Association's convention, CES. And, of course, Zappos being Zappos, we helped to plan a little party for the occasion. Intel, the computer giant, was the main sponsor for the show, along with co-sponsors Zappos, Intel, along with Brian Solis, Sarah Lacy, and Frank Gruber.
The party was held at the Sportbook Bar and Grill in the Palazzo Casino on Thursday evening, and was actually announced on Twitter. Many notable people showed up, especially to my surprise, IJustine, who we recently did a music video with for Zappos TV.
Below is a video recap of the evening! Thank you to Intel for throwing a great bash.... Party on, Wayne! And Party on, Garth!
