No Vacancy Live!

Recorded recently in Las Vegas, I caught up with Tony Yousfi, CMP, Chief Sales Officer at the iconic The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, for an energizing hashtag#NoVacancyNews conversation about what it takes to keep 7,000 suites full, 2.2 million square feet of space active, and 10,000-person events running seamlessly—week after week. 📍 Here’s what we covered: *How the Venetian transforms every four days for new guests and events *The billion-dollar renovation strategy—and why they’re only doing it during hashtag#LasVegas’ “quiet” 98% occupancy months *How Tony’s team closes deals fast, even in a city running at near full capacity *What it really takes to lead and motivate the next generation of hospitality professionals *Why saying “yes” to failure can be the most effective teaching tool *Personal lessons on grit, growth, and taking your first-ever 15-day vacation at 50 💡 Whether you're a hospitality veteran or just hotel-curious, this one offers an inside look at what makes the Venetian tick.
