BACKGROUND: I have been running the casino since Anjel's disappearance, and had been doing so before after the disappearance of Issa, save for a break during an IC falling out with Anjel that had just been resolved prior to his disappearance. I plan to continue the Wednesday night Leather, Lace, and Lingerie Night, as well as add another event night that will run on a rotating theme schedule. I will make use of the Casino group to solicit theme ideas and other suggestions for enhancing the casino experience in DE. Current theme ideas include Rat Pack Night, Disco Night, Playboy Night, and Fetish Night (as not to compete directly with the Dark Room, this event will be more of a 'fashion show' type event, hopefully including DE based designers). I want to make the Hedonist Casino the premier gambling spot east of Las Vegas. To this end, I plan to add bottle service, a food delivery service that will partner with the already established restaurants in DE. (The casino patron will have a menu and food orders will be called out as deliveries from the local restaurant, with a mark up to ensure gratuity and a small profit to the casino.), and an under-the-table escort service. New and veteran employees will be offered cross training in the various staff positions within the casino. I will 'pay forward' the kindness Anjel & Sallie showed Leslie when she first arrived to DE by taking new residents under my wing and offering them a position within the Hedonist Family.

UNIQUE: The Hedonist is one of the icons of DE and it's standing & involvement in the community will be expanded and enhanced under my leadership. Kahlen's suggestion concerning the VIP area has sparked a few ideas. As it was her suggestion, I'd be willing to work with her on the Miss Hedonist event, maybe making it a local beauty contest along the lines of Miss America or Miss World. Another event idea would be a Male Revue for charity, featuring the members of DEPD and DEFD, after some RP with Chief Kells and Chief Dylasari-Bellic. A similar charity event featuring the female members of DEPD & DEFD is another possibility. In a nutshell, the Hedonist Casino would be there to host any community or charity event that the organizers would care to hold. Additionally, in the grand tradition of the Vegas Strip, the Hedonist will cater to the desires of the high rollers that visit. Be it a drink from the bar, a good meal from a local restaurant, a gram of cocaine to get them that extra edge in a high stakes game, or a pretty girl (or boy) to hang off their arm, I am RPing cultivating the street contacts necessary to provide these perks.

EXPERIENCE:I have experience running the casino already, first as Anjel's choice, then (currently) by the authority of Ren Greggan, Angel's attorney. I am familiar and have RP'd with the currently active staff members, having hired the last two dancers. I am also know to various business/faction leaders in DE.

IDEAS:I will continue to make it a point to personally engage & interact with any new hires or new residents who stop by the casino. I have had many enjoyable encounters with 'DE Visitor(s)' since joining myself and have been complimented on being open and welcoming to the RP.

OTHER:The Grand Re-opening of the Hedonist Casino will harken back to the golden days of the Las Vegas Strip. A formal affair with men in suits and ladies in evening/cocktail dresses, and the female staff in lingerie and the male staff dressed like Chippendales (not exactly canon for the Rat pack Era, but I think Frank, Dino, and Sammy would approve.) Drinks will be free, as will the food, catered by the local restaurants willing to participate.
