Thanks to your tips, here are the results of our 2008 Christmas party survey:| Firm | Location | Notes |
| Brownstein Hyatt | Wynn | Lots of booze. |
| Marquis & Aurbach | LV Paiute Golf Resort | Bus service for the boozers. |
| Kummer Kaempfer | Red Rock Casino | Booze & karaoke provided. |
| Santoro Driggs | Wynn | Booze provided. |
| Alverson Taylor | ATMS Basement | Party is at noon on Christmas Eve. |
| Lionel Sawyer | LV Country Club | Attendees given allotment of tickets for booze. Additional tickets available from HR director. |
| Lewis Brisbois | No Party | Cancelled due to "security concerns." What? |
| Richard Harris | 5-Day Cruise for all staff & significants | We have a winner! |
Booze, Booze, Booze. Looks pretty good, but what's going on over at LBBS? "Security concerns?" We hope their bonuses make up for that big "bah, humbug!" As for ATMS, we would love for some associates to report back as to how that party goes.
Update: Okay, it appears that LBBS offered a paid day off on the 26th in lieu of a Christmas party, we'll accept that. Also, if the comments are true, Richard Harris knows how to treat his staff. Well done, Dick!
The LSC party was open bar but they gave us tickets to "buy" drinks with. You could get as many tickets as you wanted but after you used up your initial allotment of tickets (about 3 drinks worth) you had to get more tickets from the HR Director. You could also use your unused tickets to be entered into a drawing for prizes.....
ReplyDeleteIn fairness to the powers-that-be at LBBS, it was also noted in its announcement back in July that, in lieu of canceling the holiday parties, the firm will be closed (WITH pay) on Friday, December 26.
ReplyDeleteRichard Harris took his lawyers, all staff and their significant others on a 5 day cruise earlier this month for their Christmas party....now that beats an open bar at the Wynn any day. I'm on the wrong side of the isle.

ReplyDeleteKummer Kaempfer was closed on 12/26with pay.
ReplyDeleteRHLF paid for the employee to go on the "working" cruise, we had to pay for a significant other. Plus we still had a Christmas Party at the Marriott on Rampart (free booze, & the big give-aways, amongst others, were a large flat screen tv and a laptop) and a Christmas potluck in the office, plus Christmas bonuses. we work hard & yes Mr. Harris does know how to treat his employees . . . don't you wish you worked there?
ReplyDeleteWho cares about a paid day off if you're on salary and need to make billables???
