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. :)

I imagine he’s accessible to patrons while on the floor. I further imagine he rewards hard work and knows who are the best employees. Totally hands on and will fill in at any job in the casino if needed. And to top it all off I’m 100% sure he reads all these comments. For feedback purposes.

@@mattperil6074the machine will be set to a certain pay out or a “return to player” percentage- for example let’s say 92% will be returned to player which means in theory that if you invest $100 you should walk away with $92 (in theory). 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.

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.

OUTSTANDING video!

I would watch a full TV show dedicated to this casino. They made one a while back for another casino in downtown. I forget the name. But it was a lot of fun. I suppose Brian Christopher is kinda their TV show, but thats honestly more about slots and playing than it is about the casino background, the people running it, and all the day to day operations and challenges. Thats what i love to watch.

I love at 21:48 Oscar asks the when, then who's asking, then where specifically. It makes you wonder what's still going on in different parts but he been knowing how to do his thing *allegedly*

Very nicely done! As a resident of Las Vegas from 2018-2022, I love seeing this video about The Plaza. I always avoided downtown and stayed mostly in Summerlin and Red Rock Casino but on my next visit to Vegas, I'll check out The Plaza. Lots of good people in this video IMHO.

Casual cameo from the proprietor of the Punk Rock Museum and lead singer of the legendary punk band NOFX, Fat Mike in the bloopers was an awesome surprise! Great and engaging video!

I know they probably had to be careful a bit, but the transparency was nice. I would visit this casino just because of that.

@Sarah-hu8su 13 күн бұрын

Many many years ago I stayed on the 26th floor of the plaza. I loved it back then and really looking forward to seeing the changes after 18 years. As a retired pit boss. This video has to be the most entertaining and informative to casino rookies and experienced people. Very well put together.

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!!!!

@mxsaigon3599 18 күн бұрын

Now THIS is the kind of experience we want when we go to Vegas. Building great relationships with a casino that makes us feel at home and give ua that old school Vegas vibe. As much as we love other properties, they leave you feeling just like another player regardless of tier level. Definitely will stop by here when we visit next week!

Wish I would have seen this video before I went to Vegas two weeks ago! We went downtown and loved it!! I didn't realize that the cute doughnut place was owned by the Plaza! And what a beautiful carousel bar! It is stuff like that that tourists will remember and come back to. If I ran a business I would run it exactly like Jonathon does! He is GENUINE!! So important in today's world!! And by the way Gareth-you beat Noah's looks hands down!! Great video!!

What a great DITL interview. Our family has been to Downtown many times over the years. I finally wandered over to Plaza in March. Gaming was good & I won a few bucks. So much potential for that location as downtown reinvents itself starting with the addition of Circa. Bonus VPC sighting. Kudos!
