Jason Smulo - Friend & Role Model

Jason is currently the General Manger of Bugsy & Meyer at the Flamingo however we all know him from his former roles as General Manager of Vanderpump A Paris (Paris), Assistant Manager Hell's Kitchen, Assistant General Manager Gordan Ramsay Pub and Grill (Caesars Palace), and Assistant Manager Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen + Bar (Harrah's). Jason is also a Caesars Founders Award Winner (2022) for Blaze the Trail. Jason is recently engaged to Ashley, a Montessori teacher, and a father to the sweetest mini-Smulo, Reid, age 2. They have plans of getting married after his recovery in his hometown of Aruba.

As some of you may know, Jason has been battling cancer since October. It has been very aggressive and it has been heart breaking to see him suffer in silence but still come to work with his same jolly, calm demeanor. It is truly amazing to see him continue to be a role-model leader within our Company and still find the will to give us his classic comedic personality. During this battle, Jason will be receiving treatment in Houston, TX amongst world-renown oncologists however this means he must travel weekly and in some cases, for extended periods of time to Houston. He will also be taking a second residence in Houston to receive his treatments and surgery, which will make him a temporary resident in Houston for about 1 month while Ashley and their son travel back and forth with the help of his parents. Unfortunately, this disease not only comes with a rigorous treatment but also with a very aggressive recovery plan.

We would like to come together as a Caesars Entertainment family to gather funds to give to Jason and his family to get through these very difficult times and possibly put towards their wedding plans after his recovery.

We thank each and every person for their contributions for him and his family. He is a friend to all, more than I think he will ever know. #TogetherWeWin
