Fresh off a hugely successful live baseball championship at Angels Stadium on August 15 that included an on-field Home Run Derby, FantasyAces is moving the festivities outside of Southern California for the first time. "Las Vegas is the worldwide sports entertainment capital and taking the 2015 FantasyAces Football Championship there with $500,000 in prizes is a testament to our rapid growth," explains co-founder Trent Frisina. "We've become a major player in the DFS industry due to a company philosophy that focuses on providing a superior user experience." The $500,000 prize pool is double the company's previous high mark. In addition to huge cash prizes, FAFC qualifiers and their gests will enjoy three luxury-filled nights at The Palms. The festivities will begin with an exclusive Reception Party at The View, which is located at the top of Palms Fantasy Tower and features breathtaking panoramas of the Las Vegas skyline. The live championship party will take place in the famous Hardwood Suite, a massive 10,000 square-foot palace that boasts an indoor basketball court and a professional locker room. The suite will be equipped with an array of high-definition widescreen monitors so qualifiers can watch every snap of NFL action. In addition to the $100,000 grand prize, the event champion will be upgraded to the 1800 square-foot Fantasy Penthouse on Sunday night. "This will be our fourth live championship event, and they continue to get bigger and better every time," comments Bryan Frisina, FantasyAces co-founder. "We are focused on delivering an unforgettable experience for every qualifier. For the 2015 FAFC, we thought it fitting that the champion celebrates the victory like a true celebrity in the Fantasy Penthouse."
