An executive casino host makes sure that casino guests have excellent experiences by providing customer service and supervising the work of other employees. Executive casino hosts build strong relationships with guests, especially prolific gamblers, by meeting their needs and giving them complimentary gifts and service. They often get assigned to one player directly for the duration of their visit and make sure that all their needs are met so that they come back.

Besides interacting with gamblers, executive casino hosts handle administrative tasks such as booking guest appointments and supervising other casino hosts. They need excellent customer service skills to build relationships with gamblers and encourage them to spend more.

Most colleges don't exactly teach casino management skills, which is why only some executive casino hosts have a bachelor's degree. Most prepare for this role through professional experience working in casinos, for example as servers or junior level casino hosts. Executive casino hosts earn an average salary of $54,686 a year. They can also earn bonuses if they bring in a lot of money for the casino.
