Las Vegas hotel and casino operator, Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc. today announced details of the 5th annual MBA Poker Championship taking place from January 15-17th at Caesars Palace Las Vegas.
Harrah’s will host MBA students from across the country for their chance to win thousands of dollars in prizes. Once again this year, a portion of the MBA Poker Tournament proceeds will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association and Cleveland Clinic.
Harrah’s Entertainment’s MBA poker tournament offers MBA students and alumni alike the opportunity to test their poker skills and their school spirit against MBAs from top schools. The MBA Poker Championship is open to currently enrolled full time and part time MBA students and alumni who are at least 21 years of age. Non MBA students are welcome to attend the the tournament and awards ceremony. Spectators can also opt for a “VIP Package” (cost: $50), which gives access to the Welcome Reception, the VooDoo Lounge at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino event, and other social activities.
Last year’s event brought more than 600 MBA students and alumni from some of the country’s best universities, including Duke, Harvard, Kellogg, Stanford GSB, UCLA, University of Chicago Booth School, and Wharton and paid over $65,000 in cash prizes.
“This is an important networking and recruiting event for the MBA candidates and our recruiting team. MBA poker players tend to think quickly on their feet and be quite quantitatively apt — two attributes highly coveted by businesses.” said Brad Warga, vice president of talent acquisition, Harrah’s Entertainment.
