Introduction
Las Vegas is one of the most vibrant cities in the United States of America. The city
attracts very many tourists from all over the world yearly because of its vibrancy, unique
facilities, and other significant attractions. Being that Las Vegas is one of the most visited cities
in the world, it is very necessary for the level of hospitality and the number of facilities that offer
excellent hospitality services to be very high. Research that I conducted on the city’s layout and
using demographics revealed that Las Vegas is indeed a city worth investing on by hospitality
investors.
Existing Hospitality Industry in Las Vegas
Currently, there are a lot of businesses in the hospitality industry that is present in the
city. There are several hotels some of which are known worldwide such as Stratosphere Hotel,
the Mandalay Bay, The Mirage Hotel and Bellagio Las Vegas. These are some of the fancy
hotels that host the tourists who travel from all corners of the world so as to tour the city in the
desert. Apart from the luxurious hotels, there are also modern resorts in the city such as
Flamingo, Mirage, MGM Grand and Paris Las Vegas. These resorts are very much exciting and
entertaining (Gray & DeFilippis, 2015). They have quite elaborate displays such as fountains
that have been synchronized to music, Venetian Grand Canal and replicas of the Egyptian
pyramids. In short, the city is one of the few resort destinations in the world. Furthermore, there
are nice restaurants, amazing bars and other attractions with state-of-the- art facilities.
Suitable Hotels to Develop, Key Departments and Functions Befitting Local Market
The kinds of hotels to develop in the city of Las Vegas should have world class facilities
that are offering extremely wonderful dining to the customers. These hotels should also be nicely
decorated both in the interior and exterior so as to present a good appeal to the customers.

Resorts are also some of the best business investments that can work in Las Vegas. One fine
thing about resorts is that they have quite many recreational activities and hence are frequented
by so many people. It is critical to note that resorts and hotels that I would suggest are the ones
that include lodging facilities, food, drinks, entertainment and shopping centers.
Some of the key departments that would be suitable for hotels in the local market include
recreation, environment management to care for the surrounding, customer care to tend to
customer queries, technological department to help in managing online bookings and human
resource to hire the best employees. Aside from that, there are also some functions that are better
if incorporated. Such functions include online reservations, the point of sale services, efficient
housekeeping, online booking of hotels and customer relations.
Hospitality Management
Hospitality Management is a program that deals with accommodation of clients in the
best way possible. It is simple hotel management and hotel administration. For hospitality
management to be successful, the attendants at a hotel or resort should possess the necessary
skills food and beverages, service techniques, financial accounting, economics and also written
communication (Boella, 2017). Hospitality management is not only necessary in hotels and
resorts but also in restaurants, cruise ships, amusement parks and in bars. It controls or governs
the crucial relationship between a guest and a host.
Some of the main features of leadership that should be considered when recruiting new
staff include honesty, powerful communication skills, strong commitment, confidence, positive
attitude and high levels of creativity. Any employee that possesses such traits is likely to be a
good staff member who can not only contribute positively to the development of the organization
but also be committed to it at all times.

Conclusion
If there is an investment in the hospitality industry that is worth making then Las Vegas is
the place to carry it out on. The place is so vibrant and full of people who need nice
accommodation. There is no doubt that a wise investment that is well thought through and
researched would highly succeed in Las Vegas.

MANAGEMENT OF HOTEL RESTAURANTS AND BARS

Introduction
For a hotel restaurant or a bar to run effectively, there must be some key considerations
that have been put in place so as to see through the management of such premises. The hotel
restaurants and bars that are in the city of Las Vegas have exemplary strategies and planning that
have been laid out. There are some characteristics of the hospitality industry such as obligation
and integrities that contribute greatly to the end result of these businesses. In the city of Las Vegas,
there are primary licensing requirements that are associated with the sale of alcoholic drinks.
Furthermore, this proposal gives an insightful review of an assessment of managed services in the
local market of Las Vegas.
Key Management Functions and Responsibilities in Restaurants and Bars
Some of the key management functions and responsibilities within a restaurant or a bar
include recruiting, the formal steps of training and supervision of the staff members (Singh and
Dewan, 2009). In recruiting members, an organization is required to hire staffs that are able to
critically analyze situations and makes informed and wise decisions. Other key management
functions and responsibilities also involve the processes of proper preparations and management
of budgets.
The management of any restaurant or bar would ensure that there is compliance with the
licensing terms according to the relevant laws or legislations. A business that ignores the licensing
policies and terms is likely to fail because it may risk being shut down by the authorities if it comes
to their attention. Furthermore, it is fundamental for responsibilities such as promoting and
marketing businesses, solving problems and keeping essential statistical information to be taken
into consideration as they ensure the process of managing the business is in order.

Regulatory and Licensing Requirements Associated with Alcohol Sales
In the city of Las Vegas, there are a number of laws that have been debated and enacted by
the relevant legislative authorities so as to regulate the sales of alcoholic beverages in the city and
to make sure that there is compliance with the current authorizing requirements. First of all, it is a
fundamental requirement that alcoholic beverages be sold strictly to adults only. Las Vegas is
believed to have a bit loose regulations as compared to other cities of other states. It is a rule that
drinking should never be carried out within a thousand feet of a church or even a public and private
school.
There is also a regulatory requirement that is dubbed as the Container law. It states that
whenever a consumer buys liquor in a closed container then he should not consume it on the
premises or within a thousand feet of the place (Singh and Dewan, 2009). Furthermore, there is a
licensing requirement that allows for the transfer of a license to include the transfer of all privileges
allowed and the responsibilities required under such terms. It is worth noting that there are certain
aspects that need special consideration such as liability and ethics. The rules stipulate clearly how
in case there is a liability, the person who is wronged can be compensated by the one who causes
the liability. Such terms are crucial when included in the regulatory requirements so as to ensure
orderliness. It is wise too to make sure that the ethical issues are well considered.
Assessment of Managed Services for Clients in Las Vegas
A deep study of how services in Las Vegas such as airport services, hotels, and schools are
managed reveals the true ingredients required for success in the hospitality industry. For a majority
of airports in the city, the high level of coordination and fast service delivery is impressive. In
many hotels, there are automated services such as booking which ensures that the customers do
not waste lots of time by doing it physically. The assessment also revealed that some of the obvious

reasons behind the successes of many hotels in the city are attributed to factors such as attractive
settings, the hiring of committed staff, great emphasis on guest satisfaction, partnering with other
local businesses and using effective marketing strategies. In other managed services such as
school, effective coordination, quality research, and world-class programs stand out as the best
prerequisites for successful achievements (Singh and Dewan, 2009).
Conclusion
This research has revealed a variety of the key management functions and responsibilities
in bars and hotels. The details provide avenues that any hotel, bar, restaurant or any institution that
provides hospitality may pursue so as to push its profit margins to a new level. An observance of
the regulatory laws and licensing is also one other key factor that is important for the industry.
