How does the other half live? With professional help, of course. So we tapped some of the experts who create indulgent experiences for pro tips, behind-the-scenes stories and their personal definitions of luxury.
Lyndon Stockton has plenty of experience with high rollers, having worked in Atlantic City and the Bahamas, where he helped open Atlantis Resorts’ Royal Towers and the Cove. Now as vice president of casino marketing at Mohegan Sun, which offers amenities like 24-hour butlers and complimentary rounds of golf, he aims to make all guests feel like they’ve won big.
On door-to-door service: “We have guests that come here that cannot land their jet at Groton’s private aviation FBO because the runway is too small. So they land their jet at a private FBO at Hartford, and we have a Sikorsky helicopter pick them up and land them at our helipad, which is located at the entrance of our main casino. No one in the world can offer that kind of experience to a guest, only Mohegan Sun. I refer to us as the Beast of the East.”
On catering to every whim, day and night: “We’re the only casino that I know of in the country that has a private gaming room adjacent to the number-one suite product that we have within our hotel. Someone can wake up at 3 o’clock in the morning and have a propensity to want to wager high, and all they have to do is walk out of the double doors from the best suite we have here and walk five feet, and they can enter a private gaming room.”
On meeting a real VIP: “The most memorable moment was receiving a call from the White House and personally coordinating all aspects of first lady Michelle Obama’s visit with her children and watching the Beyoncé concert with them. It was something I will never forget—not only meeting them, but how wonderful and down to earth they are.”
On his idea of luxury: “I enjoy playing golf.… But from a dining experience, going to Jean-Georges at 1 Central Park West and having a great dinner.”
