MANAGING DIRECTOR'S LIFE

摘要

As the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, Nevada, relaunches as the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas in late 2020, newly appointed Managing Director Mary Giuliano will use her decades of hospitality and gaming experience to ensure a successful transformation. Previously GM for the Vdara Hotel & Spa, she has volunteered at and led several local nonprofit initiatives.MARY GIULIANO: Being in the Las Vegas megaresort market for my entire career, I remember the first time experiencing a lifestyle hotel in New York City. I was absolutely captivated by how the entire lobby area came to life in the evenings. The bar and lounge were so busy that people were filling up all the spaces, including the front desk, having a great time... Since then, it has been a passion of mine to identify ways to create such experiences in Las Vegas with most hotels in excess of 1,500-plus guest rooms. Over the past decade it has been inspiring to find opportunities in marketing campaigns or space renovations to break away from typical 'big box' initiatives, to personalize and create connections with our guest experiences in a destination of sensory overload.
