Yo, dawg. We Heard You Like Miles and Points. So We're Giving You Miles of Miles Advice and Points on Using Your Points.

"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!"

"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.

"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."

"How incredibly fun this weekend is! This will be my 3rd ZF and I can’t wait. I have learned so much, had so much fun, and met so many great people who I now call friends!"

...But once I attended my first Zorkfest in Tahoe almost 3 years ago, then Vegas the next, I realized how unique, intimate, and genuinely fun an event Michael Trager has put together, and now I’m going back for the 3rd time. You still get some of the best points-and-miles experts anywhere, but without the overwhelming hundreds-of-people feeling & with the opportunity to schmooze (lol) with them a bit more.
