Editor's Note: When you're the kind of person who goes to Las Vegas 30 times a year--who needs to go to Vegas 30 times a year--you leave no detail unplanned. Trips to meet up with California startup founders provided an easy, and geographically convenient, cover; he could tack a binge weekend onto the tail end of a business trip.
