ZorkFest 2023 - Lavish Nostalgia Featuring Gary Leff, “Dr. Dave," Gilbert Ott and FTU
Friday, October 13, 2023 - Sunday, Oct 15, 2023
We are hosting another ZorkFest, the fourth one. This time in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. You can read about ZorkFest in Bloomberg and also review past events (bottom left corner) at:
www.ZorkFest.com

We cover history, mixology, miles&points, casino loyalty, and maximizing sportsbook and online gambling apps (imagine earning MGM Platinum Status in a rather low-risk and "fun" way?).
Since the event is in Tahoe at a lovely time of year, we also wanted people to maximize their vacation time, so none of the main sessions start before 11 am (or 10 am on Sunday).
Our room block is only the newest renovated (2022'ish) rooms at Harveys Lake Tahoe (connected to Harrah's Lake Tahoe). VIP Dinner and a posh cocktail reception are included, with a sweeping view of Lake Tahoe.

• To satisfy "hunger" for more miles&points, we included a "bonus day" of @ftu Classes Sunday, 10 am-4 pm
• Companion (“P2”) Program (*extra cost, also includes Cocktail Reception and VIP Dinner)
• ZorkFest Ticket includes Cocktail Reception - VIP Dinner - Mixology Program (space limited)
• ZorkFest Ticket includes all sessions, including the BONUS DAY of @ftu at ZorkFest on Sunday, 10 am-4 pm
• Room Block is only the newest/renovated non-smoking rooms.

Hmm. Wow. October 13-15, 2023 is one busy weekend. At least this event is not in Chicagoland.

VegasIntrovert chose dates after a detailed survey and date request (to participants of ZorkFest 2021).

It was totally overlooked. I missed it. Danny had no idea. Once it was launched, it was pointed out by Joe of Award Travel 101.

But it was too late. I felt horrible about this.

This was never my intention (to conflict with CS). Think about it, I've been personal friends with (Stefan) @RapidTravelChai (for years and years), and even he understood I did not do this on purpose.

Sadly, or not sadly, CS is just not on my luxury travel, casino loyalty, and travel loyalty radar. We all make mistakes.

Ah well. I wouldn't feel terrible about it - the two Chicago Seminars are competing against each other on the same weekend a few miles apart. At least y'all will be in Tahoe.

I try not to, I am rather "community-focused," but some thought it was some grand conspiracy theory being concocted in South Lake Tahoe. I (like to) assure people #ZorkFest tries its best to be "drama free." It's also a super duper cool event with great programs and fantastic content.

FTU is usually in same space with Chicago and others The May 2023 FTU had a few speakers that are supposedly speaking in Chicago

Mrp Alert

Having attended and presented at a previous Zorkfest, baccarat_king surely has a good event planned. It’s unfortunately the same weekend as Chicago Seminars (link in my signature). If you elect to attend Michael’s event, you will surely have a good time and similarly if you come to the event I’m helping to organize. Events are good; drama is bad.

Cheers,
Marty

What can I say? Perhaps the FTU peeps or organizers wanted a good steak dinner with a view? 😜 We are known for "elevated events" and great cocktail parties. We also have #CoffeeDice early Saturday morning with the #1 Craps 🎲🎲 Gambling Podcast, CrapVegas!

baccarat_king

Thank you, and the date/overlap was truly an accident. "We" (the collective "we" of casino-gambling peeps) live in a different world. 😘

The FTU team couldn’t be more happy to partner with ZorkFest for another classy event. Really enjoyed Vegas and not just the amazing steak dinner, but the content as well.

Can’t wait to catch up with the OG himself Gary Leff who put together the first ever FTU in Flushing, Queens back in 2010.

This is going to be epic, hope to see y’all in lovely Lake Tahoe!

baccarat_king

Oh my, I'm not sure if we can compete with Flushing, Queens. 🤣

For those curious, more insight on ZorkFest 2023

We cover history, mixology, miles&points, casino loyalty, and maximizing sportsbook and online gambling apps (imagine earning MGM Platinum Status in a rather low-risk and "fun" way?).

Informative and relevant speakers will touch on where things are and where things are going in the travel and casino loyalty world.

• Gary Leff, View From the Wing
• Gilbert Ott, God Save The Points
• David G. Schwartz, Ph.D. aka "Dr. Dave" of UNLV and author of At the Sands: The Casino That Shaped Classic Las Vegas, Brought the Rat Pack Together, and Went Out With a Bang, Grandissimo: The First Emperor of Las Vegas, Roll the Bones: The History of Gambling, and Boardwalk Playground: The Making, Unmaking, & Remaking of Atlantic City will lead us on understanding Nevada gaming and gaming history.
• Carissa Rawson (Upgraded Points), Ben Komenkul of Ben’s Big Deal, and Justin Vacula (Hurdy Gurdy Travel)
• And many more!

We are going deeper into using sports betting and online casino apps as a conduit for advanced (point earning) techniques and also earning and retaining status and bonuses at land casinos associated with online apps. Justin Vacula, host of the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast, will be “leading the charge” with regard to cutting-edge ways to optimize numerous things on casino apps, sports betting apps, and also online games like MyVegas.

Since the event is in Tahoe at a lovely time of year, we also wanted people to maximize their vacation time, so none of the main sessions start before 11 am (or 10 am on Sunday). Sunday will be a bonus day (included) of FTU Sessions!

Our room block is only the newest renovated (2022'ish) rooms at Harveys Lake Tahoe (connected to Harrah's Lake Tahoe). VIP Dinner is included along with a posh cocktail reception, both with sweeping view of Lake Tahoe.
