About Lee Kissner

Raised in a gaming family, I lived in Las Vegas and worked in or with hotel casinos my entire life with short diversions to Fort Lauderdale, Beverly Hills, Palm Springs, and Peoria - also for gaming positions. I have held Level One gaming licenses in both Nevada and Illinois.My hands on experience in almost every facet of casino management, operations, and marketing has been a major factor in my career successes. However my true passion and strength is casino marketing including promotions, special events, player development, player rewards, and hosting. As a casino marketing executive, I always had a need for a travel or event company that truly understood the unique aspects of facilitating off property VIP casino events. In 1998 I had the opportunity to address this void and Players Travel Inc. was born. Focusing solely on servicing the gaming industry as a 'niche market' has proven very successful. Players Travel continues to evolve to meet current market needs. (Company page available on LinkedIn.)Specialties: Slot and table game promotions, special events, players clubs, cross property marketing, junkets, event proformas and analysis, cruise travel, large group travel, commercial and private charter air, individual specialty travel packages, international and domestic travel packages.
