Being fond of saving money, we’ve become fans of Groupon since it launched in Las Vegas. After seeing several restaurant, yoga, and cupcake offers, our adventure radar went off at something called Landsailing. Seeing the words “Blast across miles of smooth, wide open space at up to 55 mph” was enough to count us in.

What It's Like On the Zappos Headquarters Tour

Where: 2280 Corporate Circle Suite, #100 [map], 89074

A friend of VegasChatter did something we've been dying to do for a while--he took the Zappos.com Tour, a free behind-the-scenes look at the culture and the business of the Zappos headquarters in Henderson. Here's all that he saw. Enjoy!

The Zappos Royalty Tour
Ok, that’s not really what they call it. They actually refer to it as "an experience of the Zappos environment." I thought my name was more fitting. Where else but Zappos would you get to meet a cagillionaire, a life coach, have your photo taken wearing a crown as you sit on a royal throne, and learn how to take a company from zero to 1 billion dollars in sales in 10 years … all in 90 minutes? Needless to say, this is not your typical stodgy corporate tour.

It was actually a lot of fun, kind of like a pub crawl without the alcohol.
