In this episode of the Hey Bighead Show, we finally sit down with someone we’ve been talking about for over a year… Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino in Downtown Las Vegas.
From moving to Vegas at a young age knowing nobody to becoming the youngest executive ever to hold an unrestricted gaming license in the state of Nevada, Jonathan breaks down how he climbed his way to the top of one of the most iconic properties in the city.
We get into:
• How Downtown Las Vegas was rebuilt from nothing
• What it’s really like running a casino
• The impact of Vegas becoming more “event-driven”
• Leadership, risk-taking, and learning in chaos
• The future of the Plaza and Las Vegas
Plus… we finally test the theory: if you say his name enough times, will he appear?
If you’re into Vegas, business, entrepreneurship, or just love a good story…this one’s for you.
