We take pride in our history, but are not standing still. In the upcoming years, we will continue to concentrate on our strategic goals of enhancing our operations, fostering future growth, and enhancing our financial standing. We are confident in our company's capacity to effectively tackle any forthcoming challenges.
We take great pride in being among the top companies in our industry. However, we have always remained grounded and maintained a family-owned culture throughout the years. The story of our company is truly exceptional and motivating: a single individual transformed unwavering optimism, a positive approach towards people, and an extraordinary work ethic into a flourishing gaming and entertainment empire.
In 1941, Sam Boyd embarked on his journey in Las Vegas alongside his family, armed with a mere $80. Through sheer determination and hard work, he climbed the ladder of the city's gaming industry, progressing from a dealer to a pit boss and eventually a shift boss. Before long, Sam had accumulated sufficient funds to acquire a modest stake in the prestigious Sahara Hotel. Subsequently, he assumed the role of general manager and partner at The Mint, a prominent establishment situated in downtown Las Vegas. During his tenure, Sam spearheaded numerous triumphant initiatives in marketing, gaming, and entertainment.
Even as we have expanded to a national scale, our company remains rooted in the principle of treating individuals with respect, and his legacy continues within the organization that carries his name.
