"Teaming up with Mark Cuban and Daymond John, Al has created the OpenTable (OPEN - OpenTable Inc (NASDAQ)) of night clubs. "We have Night Life sections in all of our 350 city websites. The partnership with EzVip.com will allow us to generate significant revenues from those sections."
Under the agreement EzVip.com will pay IC Places a percentage of each booking it generates. IC Places Night Life sections will offer direct links to reserve tables at the best clubs in each city using the EzVip.com engine.
The two companies will grow together as EzVip.com expands into new cities.
