Melville Company Offering Luxurious Fantasy Draft Events

DraftValet, meant to mimic a live professional draft, is targeted at hardcore fantasy sports enthusiasts.

A Melville company has launched DraftValet, which bills itself as a high-end fantasy sports draft experience. 

Fantasy sports remain ever-popular and millions of people attend draft parties and events when new seasons kick off. DraftValet, however, takes the extravagance up a notch, or 10. 

A product of Fantasy Sports Events LLC, DraftValet is meant to give fantasy sports participants the feel of a real professional sports draft, according to a company press release. 

DraftValet offers luxury accommodations at destinations of choice, including five-star cuisine, beverage service, a professionally staged draft room, a live announcer, and a customized state-of-the-art Draft MegaBoard, the release says.

Needless to say, DraftValet is not aimed at the casual "Sure I'll throw $10 in for this Yahoo league" fantasy participant. It's aimed at those with money to spend, including investment bankers, hedge fund managers, information technology professionals, celebrities, athletes, lawyers and office leagues. 

 "We designed DraftValet for the fantasy sports aficionados that want to taste what it is like to be at a real, professional draft," DraftValet Founder John Russell said in the release. "It is a memorable day filled with fun, top quality food and drinks, and an event that will be talked about among league members forever. We aim to capture the exact same look, feel, and experience that is enjoyed by general managers in the pros."
