A Commitment To Earn Loyalty Through Excellence

SEVERAL WEEKS ARE in the history books in this still faintly brand new year.  As we had hoped and expected, our properties have started the year very strong. It seems an appropriate time for some thoughts on what lies ahead in 2012.

This January marks for us another colorful page in a remarkable comeback story. Station Casinos has looked to improve each and every year since some well publicized rough seas not so long ago. Our most recent chapter is a point of pride for me personally, and for Station Casinos as a whole.

Since emerging from bankruptcy our Team Members have shown a renewed commitment towards service excellence.

Our guests, (both local and non-local), have picked up on this renewed focus on service and we are deeply committed to continuing on this course.

Our aim is to climb this mountain all the way to the top and plant a flag that lets our competitors know that we are not just here to compete. We are committed to winning!

It is our goal to win guests’ continued patronage for years to come, and we make a promise to live up to our guests’ expectations. Our stated goal is not to sit back and admire what we’ve done in the past, but rather to keep stoking the flame that symbolizes our return to prominence.

Observers will notice a rather aggressive attitude toward winning guest loyalty from the top down. Our aim is not toward maintaining the new and improved status quo, but in maintaining the trajectory of our improvements.

The quality found in our hotels, casinos and resorts will be such that a first time visitor will become a long time friend. Our goal is for the next (or first) experience of each and every guest of our properties to be a memorable one.

To simplify my vision, if we have the opportunity to host a guest once, the guest will count the days until their next visit. 2012 provides us a great opportunity to raise our own expectations and to impress our guests like never before. We are committed to excellence and we are committed to consistently earn guest loyalty.

The Best Hotel Experience Excels At Making You Feel At Home

 

WHEN WAS THE last time someone made you feel at home during your travels?

I have stayed at hundreds of hotels, some big and some small. Some have been expensive and some of them were dirt cheap! But it was the hotel where I had little to no expectations that I enjoyed my stay the most.

Think back to all the times you have stayed at a hotel. What do you remember most about the best stay you ever had? Did you pay a king’s ransom and expect a great stay only to be underwhelmed? By contrast, is there a limited service gem in your past travels that surpassed all your expectations because the hospitality you experienced made a lasting impression? No doubt it was the staff that made the difference, not simply by making you feel special, but also by making you feel at home.

It is my singular goal to ensure that our hotels are providing an experience that you can tell your friends about. It’s not just about the amenities, the beautiful weather or the many options our properties have to offer. It’s entirely because of our people.

Our Team Members are the lifeblood of our company. Without them, who could provide such great service? If you have stayed with us before, whether just once or a hundred times, what experiences can you share?

Welcome…. Home!
