Lana: A Leader in Las Vegas Hospitality and Union Advocacy
Lana brings over 20 years of experience in the hospitality business, with a career that has seamlessly transitioned from management to powerful union leadership.
Her journey in Las Vegas began in management roles at some of the city's most prestigious hotels and casinos. Early in her career, Lana worked as a Manager at Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino. She then played a key role in the opening of the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino as a Manager in 1996, and subsequently opened the New York/New York Hotel and Casino as a Bartender. She later transferred back into management at the Luxor before opening Mandalay Bay as a Bartender from 1999 to 2003.
It was during her time as a Bartender at Mandalay Bay that Lana became an active Shop Steward, demonstrating her commitment to worker advocacy. This dedication led to her recruitment as an external organizer for the Bartenders Union.
