Inside the Venetian: Reinventing Vegas Meetings and Filling 7,000 Rooms Every Day

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.
