Q and A with John

Why/when did you move here?
The cheese. Actually, I lived here, went to high school here and then moved away to the Bay Area. I moved back in 2002 for work.

When did you start at VEGAS.com, and what does your job entail?
I started working at VEGAS.com in May of 2006. I manage VEGAS.com's e-mail marketing program.

What is your favorite thing about working at VEGAS.com?
The great work culture, fun people and fact that we get to see everything on the Las Vegas Strip for free. I've worked at huge corporations and small Silicon Valley start-ups and VEGAS.com is the perfect size. There is lots of exciting stuff going on to stay interested and challenged but no cheese-ball, stuffy suit, corporate atmosphere where the man keeps you down.

What are your hobbies?
Live concerts and good times.
