I kinda think a real Vegas warm-up would be fun. Have a craps table, blackjack table, roulette wheel, poker table... some pretty dealers with nice cleavage *tastefully* showing... cigar girls walking around with their little boxes hanging off of straps (forget what those are called). Give everyone a roll of chips when they come in and ALL monies both bet and won go to IMPA. Webmasters don't get to keep their winnings, all chips get turned back in as they leave. (Of course they can buy more chips if they want.)
Hell make it better - instead of cashing the chips in for money they can cash 'em in for some cool
donated prizes. T-shirts, gift certificates for online stores, etc. etc. (and all monies still go to IMPA)
Get your co-sponsors to donate some prizes and even smaller companies who wouldn't normally have the funds to co-sponsor a party like this could get in on the action by tossing in a hundred bucks or so for a couple of gift certificates.
Have the 'staff' all dressed up in old-timey gangster outfits like when they really had backroom poker games during prohibition.
