Q and A with Stephanie

Why/when did you move here?
I moved to Vegas with my family when I was seven years old. I may not be a Valley native, but I'm the next best thing.

When did you start at VEGAS.com, and what does your job entail?
September 2006. I work in the Contact Center, booking reservations for our customers, helping custom-craft great getaways.

What is your favorite thing about working at VEGAS.com?
The fun atmosphere. You never know what will happen next, or who you will meet. I walked in to work a couple of weeks ago, to find Roseanne Barr sitting next to me, taking a customer's hotel reservation!

What are your hobbies?
Singing, recording original music, belly dancing, swimming, reading, gardening

Give us a random fact about yourself
I grew up on a parachuting drop zone, hanging out with the Flying Elvi Skydiving team.
