GLOBAL GAMING BUSINESS PODCAST: Demecina Beehn, Curator and Manager of MGM Resorts’ Art Collection

Steve Wynn was the first one to use fine art in a casino setting when he built the Bellagio and included a Fine Art Gallery. Since MGM has owned the property that effort has only increased. Demecina Beehn, the curator and manager of MGM Resorts’ art collection, explains how the gallery introduces many visitors to fine art, and also the company’s reasoning for including art in every one of its properties. She spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros for the cover story of GGB’s annual supplement on non-gaming amenities, Casino Style magazine, in November.
