The Las Vegas Chapter of the Cornell Hotel Society held its
annual Holiday Dinner last night. Years ago when I arrived in Las Vegas I went
to that year’s dinner: I think there were less than 10 people there, none of
them in the hospitality industry. So when
I started doing college recruiting in preparation for the opening of The
Mirage, I visited Cornell’s Hotel School and was fortunate to get 10 of their
top students to join our company. During that first recruiting effort I had to convince
those students, their parents and the School’s administration into giving gaming
and Las Vegas a chance: I promised them they would love it. That was 29 years
ago: since then so many other Cornell graduates have found careers they love in
Las Vegas that its become one of the Society’s most vibrant chapters. As I looked around the room last night I was
gratified to see that so many had found and done what they loved here.
