Abstract
Las Vegas is on the cutting-edge of today’s world, showcasing the newest and best of everything that can be offered at premium hotels. In this one isolated location of the United States, there have been dramatic changes to the philosophy of conducting business. In the past ten years Las Vegas has defined to the world that new innovations to hotel projects can be developed to achieve maximum profitability. Casino companies strive to build the next premier, exciting, state of the art, five star hotels. Change in the casino industry is always exciting with the prospect of a better way to grow and increase shareholder value. With each new casino hotel being developed and the older properties imploded, what happens to the loyal and dedicated employees? Many of them face the fact that they are being terminated and must look for employment elsewhere. This great unknown and uncertainty affects their lives each and every day.
