Tom Mikulich began working in the Las Vegas hospitality industry as a teenager as a desk clerk at his grandparents’ hotel on Fremont Street, the Ambassador.
In the decades since, he’s climbed up the industry ladder—working as an executive at the Mirage, Treasure Island and MGM Resorts International, among other roles—and is currently senior vice president of innovation for Station Casinos, where he’s overseen gaming innovation and slots for the company for about seven years.
“I grew up here in Las Vegas,” Mikulich said. “And so, really, I’ve seen the gaming industry proliferate all through the United States. Gaming was only in Nevada for many, many years, and then New Jersey, and then it was Mississippi—all the riverboat gaming—and then it just proliferated everywhere to almost every state.”
