What a way to wrap up the last day of the UNLV Native Youth College Camp!

Palms Casino Resort took over Hospitality Hall yesterday and went above and beyond for 65 campers in attendance. From live roulette table demos and meeting with chefs, to exploring what Human Resources is all about, these students were exposed to the various careers in the hospitality sector.

Campers also chatted with current UNLV Hospitality Management interns at Palms, and learned about the Tribal Education Initiative housed at the Harrah College of Hospitality.

A massive thank you to the Palms team for dedicating your time and providing these students with a great experience!

Chloe Bredice, a UNLV Hospitality Management sophomore, is spending her summer interning at St. Regis Deer Valley (The St. Regis Deer Valley) – one of Park City’s most luxurious resorts!

During her internship, Chloe will work alongside the butler team to learn the intricacies of high-end hospitality and personalized ways to create memorable guest experiences. Not only was she drawn to the role because of St. Regis’ high level of luxury and scenic beauty, but also because it was a guest-facing internship – which was a must for Chloe.

Congratulations again, Chloe!
