Testimonials

What they said

“Just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team for taking such good care of us in Vegas.  It was a great trip and you guys made it so easy for us.”

Attendee

“Just a short email to say a personal thank you to you and the Directions team for the wonderful job you did in organising the Tabcorp Legends League Las Vegas trip. As a novice international tourist I couldn’t have been happier with the way everything went, from the beginning with the registration process right through to the final flights home.

Everything went like clockwork which is testament to your organisational skills and professionalism. It must have been a huge job organising everything for so many people – I would’ve struggled just to organise myself.

So thank you again … I had a fantastic time.”

Attendee

“I would like to extend to you and all the Tabcorp team a massive thank you for giving me the opportunity to have the most memorable and fantastic time in Las Vegas. The experiences on the trip were many and the organisation of all the events was first class. It is a credit to your organisation for making this the trip of a life time.”

Enhancing the Program

This was the first time the incentive trip required a strong business element delivered to the group and we focused on this to really enhance the program from previous years. We worked closely with Aria Resort & Casino to gain access to their M Life development team who met the group and provided a background on the number 1 Loyalty Rewards Program in Vegas and how they made it a priority to both their guests and their own internal staff.

Challenges Overcome

The group as a whole were not well travelled, with this being the first overseas trip a number of the delegates. To ensure the guests were re-assured and comfortable throughout the group movements we ensured the Directions team were always present and visual to the group. We had additional assistance arranged at the airports and at the hotel in the lobby at all times. Pre-departure communication was in-depth and walked the guests through exactly what to expect.

WOW Factor

Throughout the program, we worked closely with the client to create unique and special opportunities and entertainment to add wow for the delegates.

Their first and last nights in Vegas were spent in style with private limo and party bus transfers to their destination and exclusive use of two of Vegas’s hottest night spots – GhostBar & HYDE – where guests would not have gained access to on their own.

To create one special memory for each person we created a list of ‘’Bucket List’ optional activities for guests to select from. These included; Hot laps at the Vegas Race Track in a Lamborghini or Ferrari, Grand Canyon Heli Tour, a backstage pass to a Las Vegas Show, to name a few.
