Haute Secrets Las Vegas: Marko Greisen

Name: Marko Greisen

The stats: Born in Las Vegas; lived in the Philippines and San Diego briefly.

Why he loves Las Vegas: Great dining, shopping, entertainment, nightlife and best of all how Vegas is 24/7.

When you want to know where to go in Vegas, look up Marko Greisen, the co-founder and CEO of Galavantier, a new travel site showcasing insider experiences in Sin City. Each experience available on the site has been carefully constructed to present a travel package that one would normally have to put together one piece at a time. Check out the hottest deejays, tour the Grand Canyon or stay in one of the best hotels through the carefully crafted experiences on the site.

Greisen spent 16 years working with the 9 Group in customer development and VIP guest relations and working with founders Michael Morton and Scott DeGraff in developing the company portfolio to become one of Las Vegas’ top restaurant and nightlife organizations. He even played host to celebrities including Nicholas Cage, Jamie Foxx, Charles Barkley and many more. Marko also worked directly with Palms owner George Maloof to spearhead resort-wide campaigns.

This native Las Vegas had a day in Vegas named after him — July 29— by former Mayor Oscar Goodman. Greisen also holds a Key to the City, awarded to him by the Mayor and Las Vegas City Council for his excellence and good standing within the community.
