    Today, I’m lucky enough to shadow the youngest licensed casino operator in Las Vegas - who’s on a mission to revitalize downtown Las Vegas. From slots to security, I get to see what really goes down behinds the scenes of a billion dollar gambling business. This is a day in the life of Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino in downtown Las Vegas.
    I get to ask Jonathan about the secret tricks to gambling at a Las Vegas Casino, including slot machine secrets, roulette scams, craps best bets, and so much more!
    I dreamed of being a Las Vegas Casino CEO when I was in college, so this is a very special episode for me.

      Old town is an interesting mix of good and bad places, and is noisy, but far better than The Strip. All of the locals in fact know the 3 or 4 ways to avoid it entirely as it's a huge mess to get across in terms of traffic. I liken it to the county fair. Go once, see what it's all about. Get it out of your system. Then you're done for a decade or two. :)

    This is simply great that the CEO of the casino has an amazing personality and goes around interacting with players & the employees. You could hardly see this in Canada and the new casino in Toronto is the worst when it comes to customer service especially some of the table games supervisors. Canadians are known to be polite & friendly but when you go to this place, it’s totally a different place. We need to learn a lot from the Americans how to run businesses. This CEO is one of the best I have seen cause he seems to be pretty straight forward, honest, friendly & a genuine guy. Great content!!!!

    Candidly, the smartest thing the staff at the Plaza Casino and Hotel did was to take the time and effort to let you behind the scenes. I’ve heard of Oscar Goodman - and his wife - but the Plaza was never on my radar. I’m boring, I always stay at the Marriott Grand Château. After watching this, I still won’t stay at the Plaza but I will make a concerted effort to visit, spend a dollar or two, and eat at Oscar’s. You’re an engaging window on a wider, interesting world and I’ve definitely subscribed. 👍

Clearly a forward thinking casino owner. He seems so nice and so genuine. And I have no clue who you, Gareth, are. Nice job on this though. I'm sure this came up on my recommended because I watch slot channels. That would be a duh, right?

    I won in my days of owning a business so many customer service awards. It’s all about customer service making them feel known and appreciated. I would like to know what do you do in the way of comps for your regular players who don’t have the budget like NG, Raja if they come every day or five days a week. I think there should be special comps for people who come that often even if they don’t play $1000 to spin.

      Of course, there’s variables such as a player winning the grand jackpot for $100k or a player winning nothing aka $0.00.
      But the point is - while the random number generator (RNG) is random in terms of what prize it chooses it’s predetermined to only allow X amount % to be won simply due to the mathematical algorithm programmed into the same. Don’t be confused as it doesn’t have a “brain” like “oh, I just paid this grand jackpot so now I can’t release anymore $$$” but rather the mathematical algorithm will make it a 100% certainty that over the course of the machines life it will only return whatever the RTP % was set to back to the player . Hence, not technically truly random.
