On this week’s episode of the @RoadPodcast, the crew sits down with one of Las Vegas’s most influential figures, @SeanMChristie, the President of Events/Nightlife for @MGMResortsIntl. They discuss why Millennials don’t gravitate to bottle service (5:34) and how this affects the concepts for new venues like @OnTheRecordLV, @DrinkMamaRabbit, and @TheMayFairLV (14:50). Sean speaks on the importance of “Industry Nights” in Vegas (23:05), losing DJ’s to other competitors (30:53) and the value of having great resident DJs like @JewcyJHoffman and @DJMightyMi, who were instrumental in his clubs’ successes (43:22). They deep dive into Sean being one of the first to lead the EDM movement at @EncoreBeachClub and the bidding wars he went through for DJ’s like @SteveAoki, @Avicii, @MarkRonson and @DJAMLives (54:32). Sean empathizes on the recent closing of @KAOSVegas (1:08:03), shares some similar challenges he faced with @IntrigueVegas (1:35:40) and formerly apologizes to @DJJazzyJeff for pulling him off the decks at @XSLAsVegas almost 10 years ago (2:01:01).
