ZorkFest 2024 Las Vegas - "An Ode To Vintage Vegas"
⁉️ What's Up?
ZorkFest 2024 Las Vegas, Nevada
November 1st to 3rd 2024
An Ode To Vintage Vegas
On December 4, 1973, the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino opened on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road under the ownership of Kirk Kerkorian’s Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and partially on the land previously occupied by Kerkorian’s Bonanza hotel and limited-run casino.
With the name inspired by MGM’s 1932 film Grand Hotel, the MGM Grand opened with the celebrity presence of some MGM film stars at the time and Dean Martin providing entertainment. Nearly 7 years later, on November 21, 1980, the MGM Grand was the site of a massive fire that killed 85 people. It would reopen in July of the following year with additional fire safety features in place.
In 1986, Bally Manufacturing would purchase the property and rename it Bally’s Las Vegas, which it would remain for 36 years. Bally’s changed hands over the years; first acquired by Hilton Hotel Corporation in 1996, which would spin off Park Place Entertainment, which in turn would become Caesars Entertainment, its current owner, in 2003. On December 22, 2022, Caesars Entertainment rebranded the property as Horseshoe Las Vegas.
And now, in 2024 we will celebrate the history of this iconic property as the host site for ZorkFest 2024: “An Ode to Vintage Vegas” – Nov 1-3, 2024
Like in previous years, ZorkFest took the feedback of past guests and built a better experience:
✅ FOMO free!: No overlapping sessions so you can enjoy as much of the experience without a Fear of Missing Out
🎟️ Almost all learning/education sessions are on Saturday, November 2nd (except potential add-on [additional fee] sessions), so you can still enjoy your weekend in Vegas!
✅ Stunning Conference Space With A View! (An exceptional venue with views of the Vegas Strip from high up!)
✅ Conscious consideration of your time with intentional breaks to allow for flexibility to do what you wish outside of the event and a couple of planned mixers to hang with the crew
✅ A mix of Gambling and Casino topics and Points and Miles discussions, including featured guests like Adam Bauer Cheapskate Vegas, David Grossman (MilesTalk), Carissa Rawson (Upgraded Points), Ben Komenkul (Ben’s Big Deal), and Justin Vacula (Hurdy Gurdy Travel)
✅ Casino Loyalty Discussion includes Sports Betting and Sports and Gambling Apps. 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.

"Zorkfest is, without a doubt, the quintessential event for smart travelers. Whether it's maximizing your loyalty points or your gambling dollar, the presentations offer insight for newbies and pros, alike! I walked out of Zorkfest 2017 with a blueprint for discounted travel and a strategy to get the most freebies from the casinos. Thanks to the knowledgeable speakers at Zorkfest, I learned that paying full price to travel, stay or gamble is for suckers!" -Tony S. from Vice Lounge Online
"ZorkFest is the best time and money I ever spent. If you are on the fence about going, just do it. You won't regret it. Wish I had known some of this stuff years ago. You get information from the best travel and casino experts in the world, all in one place! Whether it is casino loyalty programs (and how to spend the least for elite status), credit cards, hotel, airfare or rental car tactics, you will learn how to do it right, and at the best advantage to you, at Zorkfest. My only quibble is that the casino and travel sessions were going on at the same time and I couldn't split myself in two to attend both of them." - LinFromNJ
"I learned several tips that will help me in maximizing my Vegas experience.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Eric Rosenthal for KING!!!!  Loved your presentation on the "cannot leave this room" secrets. I learned a LOT and can't wait for the next ZorkFest. I am AMAZED at the quality and pricing of ZorkFest. It was worth ten times the cost of admission." -Julianne from Texas
