Challenges

Memorial Day Weekend in Las Vegas is notorious for attracting the world’s biggest performers and professional athletes want to be a part of that. As a result, the unofficial kick-off to summer poses challenges in reserving the best accommodations (at each hotel, nightclub, dayclub and restaurant). Our guests demand to stand out and make a great impression on their peers, friends and teammates.

Insights

Our itinerary design, attention to detail, execution and trust created a tight-knit bond leading to countless referrals including NFL players. For each event booking, we provide a personal host to implement our 50 point “customer success process” to ensure a smooth guest experience. Davin and Donald had not experienced this level of professional service before working with Stupak.

Solution

Stupak has worked with more than 50 NFL players since 2010. This case study focuses on our longstanding relationships with Donald Penn (2x Pro-Bowl offensive tackle) and Davin Joseph (2x Pro-Bowl offensive guard).

The football pros first started working with Stupak on their Las Vegas end-of-season trips. Over the years, our scope of work has grown to World Cup experiences (Brazil 2014), national private air travel and accommodations for their closest family and friends.

Annual NFL post-season celebrations

The first trip in 2011 was to celebrate the end of a successful NFL season. We booked their experiences from suites and transportation to nightclub/dayclub and restaurant reservations. Their budget was approximately $100,000 (which Donald and Davin split 50/50), and we were able to create an unforgettable experience for their group of 20 people.

Rehab Beach Club in Las Vegas — Rehab Beachclub was the pool party that launched the dayclub scene in Las Vegas.

The highlight of each trip was booking the best cabana at the hottest ticket in town—Rehab Beachclub at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino—on Sunday during Memorial Day Weekend. As one of the busiest days of the year, with celebrities like P Diddy, Drake and Justin Bieber hosting MDW parties, we had a challenging task to come through for our guests.

Our timeless commitment

Our reputation for bringing in millions of dollars of revenue and having a relationship with the top decision maker at the venue allowed us to come through with their favorite section (Cabana 52) on the beach at the center of the party for Davin and Donald year after year.
