Mark Birtha has worked for several of the industry’s largest companies, including Station Casinos and Las Vegas Sands, as well as developing Tucson’s Casino of the Sun for the Pascua Yaqui tribe. But his time helping to build and operate Hard Rock Sacramento for the Estom Yumeka Maidu Indians of the Enterprise Rancheria tribe has been the most rewarding. He talks about that process, why Hard Rock was the perfect partner, and how it has developed into one of northern California’s most successful casino resorts. He spoke with GGB Editor-at-Large Roger Gros in his office at the Hard Rock in May.
