Glasses and trousers, Marko's own THE TECH GENIUS Packaging desire: After 16 years working in customer development and VIP guest relations for the 9 Group at venues like N9NE Steakhouse, Ghostbar, and Rain nightclub, Marko Greisen, 39, knew a thing or two about what people wanted from their Vegas experience. With the help of investors like former Facebook CPO Chris Kelly, he cofounded Galavantier.com, a Las Vegas travel site that, through his patented technology, bundles hotel rooms, shows, nightlife, tours, and activities all across town. Not a big-box travel store: "We go on everything we sell," Greisen says. "We experience everything." This year, he also launched a Vegascentric YouTube travel channel (with more than a million views so far) and is unveiling a Galavantier program that will allow customers to examine the interiors of popular nightclubs and book their table online. Behind-the-screen magic: "I actually work more now than when I was in the nightlife industry," Greisen says. "But I'm not interacting with people face-to-face. I'm doing it virtually."
