Yared Gabretensaye, General Manager, Casino Cosmopol speaks with David McKee and Peter White

Gaming is a transcontinental and cosmopolitan industry but few of its executives can boast a more globe-trotting resumé than Yared Gabretensaye does. General manager of Casino Cosmopol in Malmo and overseer of table games at all Cosmopol-branded properties in Sweden, he’s worked on at least three continents, as well as the oceans. And he’s not done yet.

Interview with Tony Taeubel, Senior Vice President at Boyd Gaming, General Manager, Suncoast Casino by Victor H. Royer

Casino Life Magazine recently had the opportunity to interview Tony Taeubel, senior vice president of Boyd Gaming, and general manager of the Suncoast Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

Suncoast Hotel & Casino is located in an affluent, northwest suburb of the Las Vegas valley, Summerlin. It is surrounded by golf, shopping, and incredible views of the Las Vegas Valley and the nearby Spring Mountains. The property offers exclusive restaurants, gaming, deluxe accommodations, a salon/spa, an award-winning bowling center, luxury movie theaters, bingo and a 500-seat showroom, and 25,000 square feet of convention space.

With crystal-clear turquoise waters and fabled beaches, a favoured warm-weather destination for many is the Bahamas archipelago. A top vacation draw for families and casino enthusiasts in the Bahamas is The Atlantis Paradise Resort. We were fortunate to chat with Joe Brunini, chief gaming and customer-development officer at Atlantis.

Could you give us a bit about your background in the gaming industry and what brought you to The Atlantis?

Fast-moving Station Casinos remakes its image yet again with Durango Casino & Hotel. By David McKee

Station Casinos is on a tear. The company and its parent corporation, Red Rock Resorts, has resolved to double its presence in the Las Vegas Valley by 2030, a presence built up over the past 47 years. It has projects in various stages of incubation: at the Inspirada master-planned resort in Henderson, Nevada, up at Skye Canyon, at the Tule Springs development in North Las Vegas, and just next door to Michael Gaughan’s South Point, at the southern terminus of the Las Vegas Strip. That’s a lot of pots for one stove. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves.
