If you attend a trade-show and find yourself sitting in a real NASCAR auto body with a 150 mph interactive video simulation of the race projected on the windshield…

Or, if you attend a swanky big-name corporate party and see people playing billiards on a handsome felt table emblazoned with giant photo-images of the Rat Pack…

Or, if you take in the scene at almost any upscale event nationwide and find people laughing and shouting and plaing the worlds coolest video games, motion simulators, sports games table games, and even casino games…

Chances are you’re enjoying the stock in trade of Eric Brashear, president of Las Vegas-based Amusement Game Rentals. The company does more than $1.5 million per year in rentals of the newest and highest quality games for events, and boasts a client roster of famous names. (Only Brashear isn’t supposed to name most of them, but trust us. They’re big. Examples include most of the top casino resorts in Vegas, as well as big companies that take multi-million dollar TV ads during the Super Bowl.)

This 20-year industry veteran is the leader in supplying high-end amusements for U.S. events. Brashear grew up in the industry, son of a respected SoCal basketball game manufacturer, and segued into rentals when a Palm Springs event planner offered him $1,000.00 for one night’s use of a basketball shooting game.

The light bulb came on over Brashear’s head and he’s been growing a fabulous rep ever since as “game supplier to the stars.”

“I have a high standard for quality and a game design background,” Brashear said. “AGR constantly thinks outside the box and thinks of ways to wow guests at the next event.”

AGR’s newest games include Party Face, Diva Dealers and retired NASCAR race cars turned into simulators.

Party Face, which was showcased at ECN’s party at Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club in March, is a photo booth that features 16 silly face selections, courtesy of clever image-distorting software. Photo patrons can take photos and pass along memorable experiences since the unit facilitates Internet image sharing.

Another AGR hit is the Diva Dealers. The company lets clients offer their own casino nights with a mix of beautiful women, plus professional Vegas dealers who happily moonlight to work private parties. These Diva Dealers just happen to be beautiful models dressed in vintage corsets with black slacks.

“Diva Deals bring out the best element to any party,” Brashear said. “I wanted to follow in the foot steps of the Playboy Club and clone the Palms idea of attractive women with great personalities dealing table games, what could be better?”

The NASCAR racing game, one of AGR’s most popular selections, features the latest game software with motion graphics magically projected onto the windshield, as if you are playing a video game or really driving the race. Brashear has literally got the U.S. market covered from coast to coast. “We’ve done everything from provide 110 games for a five-hour event to putting together a 18 city, bi-coastal promotional tour in less than 10 days,” he said.

How does a man whose work is games, relax when he has time off? “I have a boat out on Lake Mead and every chance I get I go out there to go boating,” Brashear said. “But, I also host client parties on board.”

Headquartered in Vegas, AGR also has a two month old Los Angeles branch. For more information about AGR call 702-388-4263 or visit the website at AGRLasVegas.com
