Summary

I am looking to relocate and bring my experience in the hospitality and casino industry to a new and challenging position. I currently oversee more than 16,000 rooms in the Las Vegas market, with an additional 40,000 rooms across the United States that I am able to book and modify when necessary. I also maintain and update the information on a database of more than 2 million guests holding VIP player's cards.

I feel my experience and skills would be a benefit in any hospitality position in any market, and look forward to starting a new chapter in my professional development.

Set up amenities, transportation, dinner reservations, show and event tickets for VIP guests based on received offers, host and VP requests.

Maintain up to date knowledge about all events and shows within Caesars properties and also citywide in Las Vegas, so we can relay accurate information about all local events when helping hosts plan their guests' vacations.
