I’ll be speaking at Zorkfest in Las Vegas, the miles and points and casino loyalty event, December 5-7.

I attended the event for the first time in Reno two years ago, and gave a talk in the suite where Donald Trump first met Stormy Daniels. It was the original suite built for Sammy Davis, Jr. back in the Jim Crow era so he’d be treated properly. Here was the view from that suite:

Last year’s event was in Las Vegas. I was in and out for my talk, but I’ll be staying longer this year.

This year’s event is at M Resort in Las Vegas. I’m planning to arrive for the opening reception on Friday evening. Since I’ll be there all day Saturday, we thought we’d organize a lunch for readers.

The first 15 people who register using code vftw2025 will join me for lunch (that’s otherwise on your own) during the Saturday Noon – 1:15 p.m. break.

Here’s hotel information and you can book into the room block here.

Get “up to speed,”…travel loyalty or casino loyalty or both! Introducing Miles&Points Labs Sponsored by Roame and Casino Labs Return

This year, we have (Miles&Points) small lab sessions on different topics, for example “finding award redemptions in premium cabins to Asia”

Casino Labs are hands on experience learning about craps and blackjack.

Nice to see Roame involved as well, they’ve got a useful award-finding tool especially for getting a broad look at award availability across a wide range of destinations and dates to find those needles-in-haystacks (like Japan Airlines first class).

Hopefully I’ll see and meet some of you there! And if you already registered for ZorkFest and there are still spots available we should be able to accommodate that. Or, maybe you want to register but space for this is full when you enter the code vftw2025. In either case shoot a note to vipassist@travelzork.com (with your ticket #, if already registered) to see how they can help.
