CaseInPoint wrote on November 15, 2008 10:23 PM: Funny how the guy below named "jim murren/terri lanni" felt at ease calling Seth a "spoiled rich kid". Did you fake a business degree to be able to make that comment? Or are you just bitter? And DMC, apparently the only thing that "fascinates" you is leaving long-winded, ill-informed comments on this website. The truth is, Seth Schorr is not only "fascinated", but he is dedicated, smart and passionate about his profession (one he chose, when he could have used his education and connections to do anything really). Why else would he be hanging out at his casino on Friday and Saturday nights rather than spending time with his family and friends? Why else would he have avoided laying off his employees when that is so often the first step companies make in times of economic hardship? Why else does he personally handle all operations from a small office converted from a hotel room when he could easily rent a fancier space in an office building or simply work from home? In just 6 months, he has completely turned around the energy, the casino floor, the food, the entertainment, the sportsbook, hell, even the bathrooms at The Lucky Club. JLOKC, had you ever even visited The Speedway? If you had, you'd understand why a name change is absolutely necessary: to eliminate the negative stigmas attached to that old dump and usher in a new, positive brand identity dedicated to a core group of customers who really do love gambling and who still believe in a thing called LUCK.

He is one of the most humble people you will ever meet, and he works extremely hard. He cares personally about all his employees and he is a compassionate person overall. He didn't have this business handed to him, he was given a starting point. He is very smart, and if you met him on the street you wouldn't think he came from money.
You must be jealous!

JLOKC wrote on November 02, 2008 09:47 AM: I think the Speedway name is too tainted at this time. The Lucky Club name can be a basis for other locations, as well. I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't turn into the "Lucky Club at the Speedway" after the reputation is improved, and they buy out Tamares, giving them the Lucky Club at the Plaza, and the Las Vegas Club, as well. I think this guy is all upside. If his heart wasn't in it, he would be doing something else by age 30.

DMCVegas wrote on November 02, 2008 09:02 AM: Well, good luck to the guy. But I don't understand why exactly he changed the name from "Speedway Casino". to "The Lucky Club". At least with "Speedway" it would resonate with some of the fans who were in town for various motorsports events, and sounded half-way decent. "The Lucky Club"?, that sounds awful. It invokes images of a stench-filled poker parlor with dangerous patrons, and infested hotel rooms.

This guy certainly has ambition, and that's good. But I'm afraid his vision is seriously lacking. I'm also kinda scarred of his answer to the interviewer's question of the gaming industry is a natural fit for him. Simply being "fascinated" isn't enough for being successful at any kind of career. I'm fascinated by mining and geology, but you don't see me digging in any holes in the ground because it's not something I want to actually do.

Sorry, but Seth Schorr doesn't sound like someone who really wants to be a casino operator. It just sounds like the family business he was born into. Rather than having a driving passion for this industry and actively seeking out knowledge about it (like we've heard about Wynn, Maloof, and others), he just sounds like the industry was always on tap to him. It's his accrued knowledge and experience that is the perfect fit, but not necessarily the man himself. Kinda like kids that grow up on a farm and know it's workings, but really don't want to be farmers themselves. If I conducted a STAR format interview with this guy based on his answers to the reporters questions, I wouldn't have hired him for this job.

Having said that, good luck to him. I honestly do hope he proves me wrong. Lots of peoples' jobs and the surrounding area are depending on his success.
