Andrew Pascal serves as Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of PLAYSTUDIOS (Nasdaq: $MYPS), a developer of award-winning, free-to-play casual games for mobile and social platforms. Mr. Pascal formed PLAYSTUDIOS in 2011, positioning the brand to be at the forefront of the then-nascent mobile gaming industry. Mr. Pascal's achievements and forward-thinking insight allowed PLAYSTUDIOS to garner early support from gaming giants MGM Resorts International and Activision Blizzard, among others. Under his leadership, the company grew its portfolio of game offerings and real-world rewards while simultaneously embarking on a global expansion, opening offices and design studios in Burlingame, California; Las Vegas, Nevada; Austin, Texas; Hong Kong; and Tel Aviv, Israel. Through its first decade, Mr. Pascal conceived and led the development of playAWARDS, a groundbreaking loyalty marketing platform that is key to the company's growth and retention strategy. Following nearly 10 years of successful growth across its mobile and social gaming apps, Mr. Pascal led the company's transition to a publicly traded enterprise (MYPS) in 2021. The transaction valued PLAYSTUDIOS in excess of $1 billion. Mr. Pascal remains in the Chief Executive Officer role, along with his founder-led management team. In 2021, PLAYSTUDIOS was honored to win the exclusive rights to develop Tetris in the mobile gaming space. Tetris is ranked the number 1 game in the history of gaming. In 2022, Mr. Pascal led the acquisition of Brainium Studio for $70 million. The acquisition adds a rich suite of popular casual games, such as Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, Sudoku, and Mahjong, to PLAYSTUDIOS' portfolio of industry-leading casino style social games. Prior to founding PLAYTUDIOS, Mr. Pascal was widely recognized for his stewardship of Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Las Vegas, the flagship luxury casino resort properties owned by Wynn Resorts, Ltd. Having joined the company during its start-up phase in 2003, Mr. Pascal served as Senior Vice President of Product Marketing and Development, ultimately ascending to the roles of President and Chief Operating Officer in 2005. Throughout Mr. Pascal's tenure, Wynn Las Vegas garnered multiple awards from the world's leading hospitality guides, including the coveted five Red Pavilions from Michelin, five Diamonds from AAA, and five Stars from Forbes (formerly Mobil Travel). In 2008, Mr. Pascal led the development and launch of Wynn Las Vegas' sister property, Encore Las Vegas. Together, the two resorts are recognized as the world's seventh-largest hotel, with 13,000 employees, 4,750 rooms, and a number of award-winning gaming, entertainment, retail and convention offerings. Under Mr. Pascal's leadership, Wynn Resorts achieved record performance while also making Las Vegas history, garnering Forbes five-star ratings in the hotel, restaurant, and spa categories simultaneously. From 2001 to 2003, Mr. Pascal served as President and Chief Operating Officer of WagerWorks, a company he founded as a casino solutions and content supplier for many of the world's largest gaming and media brands, including Sky, Virgin Group, SONY, MGM Mirage (now MGM Resorts International), Pearson Television, Action Gaming, and WMS Gaming. Following Mr. Pascal's departure, WagerWorks was acquired by International Game Technology (IGT). Mr. Pascal achieved early entrepreneurial success in 1994 with the formation of Silicon Gaming. Backed by Kleiner Perkins and Benchmark Capital, the startup focused on reinventing the slot machine experience for an evolving generation of gaming consumers. The company's groundbreaking product, the Odyssey, is credited with establishing the casino industry's current digital slot machine paradigm. Silicon Gaming went public in 1996 and launched its celebrated Odyssey product suite that same year. Mr. Pascal sold Silicon Gaming to International Game Technology in 2001.

Today's podcast guest for EPISODE #100 is Brian Gullbrants. As a leader, every day his mission is to MAKE IT (the experience) BETTER FOR EVERYONE (employees, guests, stakeholders). This is truly a noble approach but one that Brian executes daily. We discuss his contributions to his family's restaurant business growing up. His dad convinced him that sweeping up the parking lot was a game called "Disneyland" - similar to the cast members that would use a pan and a broom to keep Disney's streets clean. We also discuss: -Remembering his initial learning about the culture of Ritz-Carlton and being called a gentleman for the first time -His foray into management, working twice as hard for less pay, and loving it -With his team at Wynn, they are "breaking records and winning awards." For the past 15+ years, Brian has been writing messages to every employee every day to ensure everyone is walking the talk and living and breathing their values. He suggests that problems need to be corrected and then "shaken off like an etch-a-sketch" to be fully erased to be able to move on. More about Brian Gullbrants: He is the Chief Operating Officer - North America for Wynn Resorts, a position he was promoted to at the start of 2023, after serving as the President of Wynn and Encore Las Vegas. In his current role, Brian is responsible for all operations in both Las Vegas and Boston, while supporting all future developments in North America. Prior to his return to Las Vegas, Mr. Gullbrants was the President of Encore Boston Harbor where he played an integral role in leading the final construction, grand opening, and stabilization of Wynn's first integrated regional resort on the East Coast. Before moving to Boston, Mr. Gullbrants served as Senior Vice President and General Manager for Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, which he opened for the Company in 2008; his role expanded to oversight of both Wynn Las Vegas and Encore hotels in May 2011 as Executive Vice President and General Manager. He led the effort to establish Wynn hotels and spas as the first in Las Vegas to earn Five Star awards from Forbes Travel Guide. From 1988 to 2008, Mr. Gullbrants held significant leadership positions in operations, general management and corporate management at Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company.

Jardin Restaurant at the Encore (Wynn) in Las Vegas is one you won't want to miss. Casual, Light, Airy, Romantic, Delicious... what else can I say? Great place, a bit out of the way, at least not smack-dab in the heart of tourist-ville. Yes, it's between the Encore Casino and the Wynn Casino, but it's a little slower, more leisurely paced restaurant. Oh, and it's beautiful! Oh, and the food and service are great!

After designing several of the most beautiful hotels in Las Vegas if not the world, what does Roger Thomas do for, no pun intended, an encore? Well, for one thing, this weekend the world's most famous movie stars will lounge in a green room of his design before appearing on stage at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood for the 82nd annual Academy Awards show. Does this star turn mean that Steve Wynn's gay alter ego is launching a new phase of his career? Maybe, but he's still got his hands full with projects for Wynn Resorts as varied as an luxury resort in Macau, a new beach club at Encore Las Vegas and a non-hotel casino in Philadelphia. Thomas discusses the Oscars, the Wynns, CityCenter and a whole lot more.Plus, Liberace's home is in foreclosure, Miles recounts his Carson City trek, Steve chats about the Grand Canyon Skywalk, some good and bad news on CityCenter.Email: TheStripPodcast@aol.comVoicemail: 702-997-3300Web: TheStripPodcast.ComBlog: VegasHappensHere.ComTwitter: @TheStripPodcast

Ever wonder if Steve Wynn really was on top of the building? This sneak peek inside the making of the Encore commercial will lay any doubt to rest. Watch as Steve’s ascent to the tip of the building moves from creative discussion to skillful execution.

Steve Wynn teamed up with film director Brett Ratner to create the commercial announcing his new resort. A parody of its predecessor – which featured Steve standing on top of Wynn Las Vegas – the spot called for the legendary developer to climb 675 feet in the air and assume a mark at the tip of the building's signature swoop to introduce Encore to the world.

At Wynn Las Vegas and Encore, we’re privileged to have two extraordinary resorts for you to enjoy.

In February 2005, the commercial for Wynn Las Vegas made its debut during the Super Bowl. Steve Wynn, standing atop his new hotel, declared that Wynn was the only hotel in his career that he’d ever signed his name to.
