The Land-Based Operator of the Year Award recognizes the achievements of casino operators who have not only excelled in terms of financial performance, but also led the industry in innovation and enhancement over the past 12 months. It honors the company that has gone above and beyond to create the best possible customer experience.
Allen was also a finalist in the American Executive of the Year category of the Global Gaming Awards. Regarding the Guitar Hotel winning the Property of the Year Award, Allen said, “It’s an amazing project and there’s no other building like it in the world. We’re happy with its early results.”
This year, Hard Rock International was named a finalist for the Responsible Company of the Year and Online Casino Awards. As part of the 2018 Global Gaming Awards, Hard Rock International also earned the title of Land-Based Operator of the Year.
