The Voodoo Lounge at The Rio Casino was the venue for last night's hottest ticket in town, as our 120 Team Ladbrokes players and their guests hit our renowned Welcome Party! The players were entertained by all manner of performers - including a troupe of cheerleaders! - and enjoyed our famous hospitality long into the night.

The party was attended by a number of celebs including Team Ladbrokes captain Steve Davis, glamour girl Abi Titmuss, poker analyst Norman Pace and a host of the world's top darts players who are in town for the Las Vegas Desert Classic!

Earlier in the day, the Ladbrokes professionals were in action as Ladbrokes Poker officially unveiled Swedish superstar Jonas "Nebuchad" Danielsson as a sponsored player. We look forward to working with Jonas in the coming months, and are proud to have the Scandinavian Online Poker Player of the Year amongst our ranks.

Tommorrow will see poker author Des Wilson become one of the early runners for Team Ladbrokes in Day 1B. Read World Series blogs by Des and our other sponsored players here.
