November 1-3 marks this year's ZorkFest in Las Vegas. Last year, the event took place in Reno, which was less convenient but still offered a beautiful setting. The sessions were held in a suite with historical significance, as it was where a future President first interacted with a porn star who later became widely known.
This year's event will be hosted at the Horseshoe, the original MGM Grand, providing a classic Vegas atmosphere. Having enjoyed last year's experience, I have agreed to participate again.
ZorkFest features a mix of beginner and advanced sessions on miles and points, as well as casino loyalty programs. Although my expertise in casino loyalty is limited, I find these sessions informative for learning about manufacturing casino status and maximizing comps. The event also includes optional group gaming and hands-on training from experts on playing craps and blackjack in a "judgment-free zone." As an intermediate-level player of both games, I believe mentoring could enhance my confidence and enjoyment.
