GLOBAL GAMING BUSINESS PODCAST: Jonathan Jossel, CEO, Plaza Casino Hotel

The Plaza Hotel Casino in Downtown Las Vegas is 50 years old this year. The property was built on the site of the former Las Vegas train station and was known as the Union Plaza when it first opened. It experienced a series of owners, including the legendary Jackie Gaughan, who owned most of Downtown at the time. Jonathan Jossel arrived in 2007 with the most recent owners, the Tamares Group. He’s been CEO for the last seven years and has guided the property through a major expansion, a pandemic and the rebound of the Downtown market. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros from Oscar’s Steakhouse in the famous dome of the Plaza in March.
