· Excellence is a real accomplishment.
· One that stays with you for life.
It’s been more that 25 years since Bellagio opened here in Las Vegas and not a week goes by that I don’t hear from one of the more than 11,000 employees and contractors who opened or worked on that property with me. The message that every one of them conveys is how demanding and fulfilling that experience was; most say it’s the best thing they ever did. I wholeheartedly agree with that and love seeing the spark in their eyes when they talk about what we accomplished back then. We pushed ourselves to the limit with the knowledge that the excellence was in the details. The mosaic marble throughout the lobby and retail promenade, the Chihuly chandelier in the lobby, the conservatory of floral exhibits, the grandeur of the casino, and the iconic fountains out front. To me, the stained-glass dome in the employee entrance, the carpeted back of house hallways, and the employee dining room were emblematic of the company’s focus on the excellence of employee relations. There’s something in all of our lives that represents the best we ever did – when it happens, you’ll know. It’s the kind of thing that fills you with a pride that stays with you forever. Wear your excellent achievements like a badge of honor today.
