GUEST SERVICE SPOTLIGHT: ARIA RESORT & CASINO

· DeLisa Macklin is the Senior Manager of Guest Services at ARIA & Vdara in Las Vegas.

· Delisa recently learned of guests staying at ARIA who were celebrating the birth of their granddaughter. The granddaughter's name happened to be "Aria " - so Delisa sent them home with an ARIA teddy bear for their family's newest addition to enjoy. A few weeks later, Delisa received a letter from Aria's parents thanking her for the gift.#

· DeLisa Macklin, Senior Manager of Guest Services, ARIA & Vdara:"They sent me a picture of baby Aria with the teddy bear. It was just very touching. I've worked with the company now for over 35 years. I love the guests. I love the property. I've moved from property to property over the years and it's always that same feeling when you touch a guest in that way. I know they're coming back because that's what they told me."
