Here's something else for your Las Vegas to-do list next year: Take a tour of Internet shoe giant Zappos. The company, which was named by Forbes as one of the top 100 to work for, is offering free tours of its quirky headquarters in Henderson, NV, which includes such sights as the Chair of Royalty. Or for $47, you get a 30-minute Q&A session during which you can ask more operational-type questions. 

Might be worth the trip to see what sort of tips you can pick up for your business. We'll be taking the tour next time we're in town.
