PLAZA HOTEL & CASINO TO BE HONORED AT GOODWILL’S ANNUAL
COMMUNITY RECOGNITION LUNCH
(LAS VEGAS) – Goodwill of Southern Nevada will honor The Plaza Hotel & Casino at its annual Community Recognition lunch that will be held at the showroom at the Stratosphere Casino Hotel on Thursday, March 5, 2015. The Plaza will be recognized as a “Community Partner” for their support for the local Goodwill chapter.
“We are humbled and honored to be recognized as a Community Partner of Goodwill,” said Michael Pergolini, Vice President of The Plaza parent company PlayLV. “The last several years have presented great hardships on so many levels for so many and as a community we need to come together and help each other just like any other team would do.”
The Plaza has shown ongoing support for Goodwill by donating items from its Lost and Found collection. Last year The Plaza donated 16,407 pounds of Lost and Found items. The items are then sold at The Goodwill retail outlets and the revenue is used to support Goodwill’s job training and placement programs.
Located at the crest of the historic Downtown District in Las Vegas, The Plaza Hotel and Casino combines a vintage Rat Pack attitude with modern styling for the ultimate Vegas experience. Originally built in 1971 on the site of the original Las Vegas railroad depot, The Plaza boasts 1,003 rooms and suites recently renovated with custom-‐designed Mark David furnishings, a 500-‐seat classic Vegas showroom with nationally recognized entertainment, and a variety of dining venues led by the world-‐famous Oscar’s Beef-‐Booze-‐Broads steakhouse in the iconic Dome overlooking the Fremont Street Experience. The Plaza also has more than 500 slot machines and favorite table games, Downtown’s largest Race and Sports Book with 75 flat screen televisions, Downtown’s only Bingo Hall, and 30,000 square feet of ballroom and meeting space. The hotel is owned and managed by PlayLV Gaming, which also owns and operates the Las Vegas Club Casino.
