Summary
The job of the Catering Convention Services Manager (CCSM) is varied and diverse. The success or failure of an event can depend on the ability of the CCSM to juggle the components without dropping the ball. Chapters of this book scratch below the surface and impart authors' in-depth industry knowledge that will lead readers from the truth of what a CCSM does on a daily basis versus what the job description states, what emotional and technical skills are required, what employers look for in hiring CCSMs, how to relate to external and internal planners, and execution of catering and convention contracts. It gives an overview of job positions within hotels and facilities that CCSMs will work with necessary to fulfill the contracted legal requirements, providing thorough communication, detailed food and beverage industry information, banquet service styles, menu planning, trade statistics, BEO standards, how to deliver service expectations, and reveals a variety of indoor and outdoor event space setup standards. Included are suggested best practices of working with nonprofits, social, wedding, association, corporate, VIP, celebrity events, and tradeshows. Most chapters will have website links for more information on specific topics and explanations on how this industry operates within casino properties. The final chapters discuss revenue upsell opportunities for all stakeholders and industry accounting and the paperwork that pulls this fast-paced catering for convention service business all together.

Summary
Las Vegas has been described as "the last great, mythic city that Western civilization will ever create," and its brief, phenomenal history has been largely shaped by a handful of colorful and astute casino operators who turned a dusty desert town into the gawdy, booming holiday mecca that it is today. The essays in this book introduce us to these "players" and outline the decisions that led them and their chosen city unparalleled heights of success. We discover how early leaders like Cliff Jones, Moe Dalitz, and Benny Binion first grasped Las Vegas's potential as a center for high-stakes gambling, and we read of mobster "Bugsy" Siegel's efforts to bring to reality another man's dream of a glamorous resort-casino on a then-remote site at the edge of town. Other visionaries like Jay Sarno, Sam Boyd, and Jackie Gaughan helped turn casinos into islands of fantasy, replete with lavish entertainment spectacles, that have become the norm for subsequent construction in the city, and they began the now-standard practice of mass-marketing the Las Vegas experience to middle America. The arrival of eccentric Howard Hughes introduced a new style of corporate management to an industry hitherto led by independent entrepreneurs and their families - a style of management since carried on by Kirk Kerkorian and Steve Wynn.
