World Domino Open Las Vegas - Dominoes Stars Grand Opening 2008
Once a year the best domino players in the western hemisphere meet up in the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas, for a weekend of domino and potential of $50,000 in cash prizes.
We decide that as more and more people get exposed to our new website and adopt it as their home of online domino we need to show our brand offline too.
The main domino tournament in the main gaming city, sounds like the right place to be main sponsors.
The tournament took place in the classic Hilton Las Vegas and hosted more than 200 players from the United States, Chile, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Dominican Republic and Panama.
These days, when Las Vegas runs by the thousands of poker players that try to bluff each other, convention hall D in Hilton hosted the next generation of exciting gaming tournament, The World Domino Open.
The tournament was very competitive and emotional and was surprising, because, as in this year poker tournament, the big domino players (stars) didn’t have their game on top and none of them made it to the final stages of the tournament.
Well known domino champs like Jane Jhonson and Clark Hathaway didn’t qualify for the big prizes but you always feel their presence in such a special event.

Between 120 and 150 participants are expected to compete for $50,000 in prizes. Domino players of all ages have traveled from across the Americas – including Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Panama – to vie for the title.
“We have around six or seven world champions of Dominoes here in Vegas,” tournament organizer, Ricardo Arias, said.
The group of accomplished players includes the 2008 world championship winner, Julio Tronconi, and the 2007 World Domino Open victor, Thomas Ortiz. Tronconi, who won his designation in May at the World Domino Championship in Orlando, came from Caracas, Venezuela, hoping to claim a second championship title.
Meantime, Ortiz traveled from his home in Tijuana, Mexico to defend his title. First place in both the Open’s individual and team divisions fetches $10,000. The prize purses shrink the further down from the finish you go, but a ninth place result is still given a cool $1000. Not too bad for two days of playing Dominoes.

Hollywood goes wild for Dominoes
The First Hollywood Domino Tournament, a benefit for The Art of Elysium, a non-profit organization that runs arts workshops for seriously ill children, was held at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills in February.Celebrities taking part in the tournament included Rumer Willis, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Kate Hudson, Salma Hayek, Charlize Theron, Stuart Townsend, Pene`lope Cruz, Debbie Matenopoulos, James Van Der Beek, Kate Beckinsale, and many more.
Charlize Thereon was the big winner of the night, walking away with a $25,000 blank check for the charity of her choice. In addition, she was awarded a customized Instrumento NoUno watch by de Grisogono president Fawaz Gruosi.
According to Sky Showbiz: “dominoes - yup, that game where you line up dotted tabs - has got the Celebville X factor. More than cool, it’s inherent (yet hidden) showbiz potential for fun and frolics apparently rivals that of a big-time Hollywood casino. As the event got started, stars flocked to the first De Grisogono’s Hollywood Domino Tournament like sharks to a tasty bait, to do their bit for charity.”
GQ Magazine reports that “Traditionally beloved of stout-sipping pub-goers, it seems that the humble game of dominoes is in danger of becoming the new poker.”
GQ also reports that “The glitzy tournament, inspired by A Night In Havana, is also the official launch of Hollywood Domino, a variation on the classic game in which players build “Blockbusters”, “Sequels” and “Trilogies” as they battle it out for the “Oscar” domino. Hollywood Domino will be available to buy in autumn this year, in time, no doubt, to be a Christmas bestseller.”
According to Vanity Fair, “Hollywood has always been a gaming town,” and “Now there’s a new game in town: Mexican Train dominoes. Best friends Salma Hayek and Pene`lope Cruz are fanatics” and “they’ve converted pals such as Demi and Ashton, Donna Karan, Bruce Willis, and Lucy Liu.”
