We came. We partied. We conquered.

FamousDC brought the District to Las Vegas with an awesome event (if we do say so ourselves) before the first Democratic presidential candidate debate of the season. Earlier in the evening, Facebook and the Washington Post both hosted buzzed-about events down on the Strip. Eventually some of the political and media rockstars attending their events joined FamousDC for our event at Hyde,within the iconic Bellagio Hotel for the unofficial afterparty event with views of the iconic fountain show, specialty cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres.

We’d like to say thank you to our incredible sponsors, our A-list guests, and a fantastic venue. We’d like to especially thank PhRMA and AGA for their incredibly generous support to make the evening possible. Thanks to Uber as well for providing a VIP section – our guests had an up-close view of the world famous Bellagio fountain show and the opportunity for a safe ride home afterwards. Politically savvy startups Predict It and Sidewire were also perfect co-hosts to host some of the most brilliant minds in politics and media.
