Hung Lei

Casino Host

303-998-7704

I’ve been in the casino industry for a little over twenty years. I started as a craps dealer at President’s Casino in St. Louis. When Harrah’s opened a casino in St. Louis, I first worked there as a dealer, and then after a year, I was promoted to table games supervisor. I then transferred to the Harrah’s casino in Kansas City where I was an executive casino host. I briefly left the casino industry for six months to work for Sysco as a marketing associate. After this brief detour in the food industry, I returned to the casino industry to work for the Hollywood Casino in Kansas City. After five years With Hollywood, I joined the host team at Isle of Capri. In my spare time, I love going fishing (even though I rarely catch anything).
