On June 18th over 300 of the country's most recognized and respected individuals from the world of sports, entertainment and business participated in this year's annual NetJets Poker Invitational. The annual event was hosted by Warren Buffet and Steve Wynn at the coveted Wynn Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. Among NetJets' top Fractional and Marquis Jet Card Owners in attendance were special guests David Spade and Ray Romano, celebrity poker emcee Phil Gordon and a slew of other influencers from all parts of the U.S. who were on hand to compete in the sixth annual competition.
The weekend long schedule of events was kicked off on Friday night with an unveiling of the sensational tournament prizes and an unbelievable celebrity roster in attendance while guests posed with Warren Buffet in front of the infamous Aquariva Gucci. Aquariva Gucci remained prominently displayed throughout the poker challenge to remind players of its high-stakes and lure them into the Ferretti Group's exclusive offering.
Noted as a friendly competitive affair among NetJets Fractional and Marquis Jet Card Owners, players competed with free "chips" for luxury prizes. Among this year's most memorable and talked about prizes was an exclusive experience courtesy of the Ferretti Group, which included a private yacht excursion along the Northeast coast of Newport, Rhode Island. The unforgettable prize also included four coveted Golden Circle tickets to the Newport Jazz Festival, accommodations at Newport's newest, state of the art waterfront hotel 41 North, day cruises aboard a new Ferretti Group vessel and dinner at the infamous Castle Hill for the best sea side sunset. The remarkable experience is topped off by a private cocktail cruise aboard a Ferretti Group yacht in Newport's famed harbor. There was tremendous buzz in the air as players clamored to win Ferretti's ultimate getaway experience, all in the name of high-stakes fun. In the end, it was NetJet Owner Joseph Celentano who came out victorious by finishing in the top ten to take home the once in a lifetime Ferretti experience.
