Q&A VIP SERVICES L to R: Jessica Breto and Samantha Cox with VIP Services team. The VIP Services team is dedicated to providing our VIP guests with a personalized, rock royalty experience during their time at the resort. Director of VIP Services, Samantha Cox and Manager of VIP Services, Jessica Breto, gave their perspective on what it is like to lead a team of eight in raising the standard for VIP treatment. Q: What are some of the things you do to provide guests with a VIP experience? Q: Where have some of these VIP guests traveled from? A true VIP experience starts before the guest even arrives at the property. We coordinate the arrival and stay of our VIP guests during their visit and work closely with various departments such as hotel, housekeeping and food & beverage to ensure all of the amenities are set to their personal preferences. We have set a standard that our guests now expect whenever they travel to Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood. Our guests have flown in from all over the world, including Macau, London, Japan, China, Malaysia, Peru, Brazil and domestically throughout the United States. Q: What is your favorite aspect of working in VIP Services? The interaction! We take pride in seeing our guests truly delighted with the personal, professional service they receive. It is also very exciting! It can be a smooth day and suddenly we are rushed to accommodate an unexpected guest who has decided to fly in within a couple of hours. Working with a team of enthusiastic, passionate people is a dream come true. Q: Where on property can players find a representative from VIP Services? They are all over the property, but typically you can find VIP representatives interacting and meeting guests in the High Limit gaming areas. Knowing our players on a personal level is one of our top priorities; we strive to create an upscale experience for all our guests across the board. We value the relationships we have fostered with our guests and are looking for new ways to increase customer satisfaction. Q: Do you see many guests upgrade their status to VIP? Yes, we consistently have guests elevate their play level to achieve VIP status.
