Arriving downtown

The Plaza’s first podcast episode introduces Jossel’s move to Las Vegas in 2005. His later public role put a younger executive at the head of one of downtown’s established hotel-casinos. [3]

The operating job

VEGAS INC’s 2019 profile dates his appointment as Plaza CEO to 2014 and describes an approach grounded in time on the property with employees and guests. It offers a dated view of his management practice. [1]

Beyond one property

Super Group announced his appointment to its board in May 2022. That company announcement connects his land-based casino experience to an online betting and gaming business, a separate role from management of the Plaza. [2]
