Summary
Consider myself one of the best bartenders in Las Vegas, not because I think it but because I’m told it every day by the people I serve, I’ve had the pleasure of working at 3 different and amazing restaurants within Mandalay Bay, at each outlet I got to work for and with some of finest staffs assembled, I got to learn from acclaimed chefs and master mixologists, seasoned bartenders and young and hungry go getters, the managers I’ve worked under have gone on to be directors of operations, restaurant owners and regional trainers, I’ve tried to learn all and take the best from each and apply it to my service
