It's All About The People

I have been reflecting on the past month today about all the work it has taken to get the Drift open for business and I came to the conclusion that I work with some amazing people.

Everyone pitched in from the owners to the new hires to get us ready to open on Tuesday.  It didn't matter what department a person worked in, we all jumped in and got the work done.

It is this type of true teamwork that will make the Drift a success.  During our employee orientations I have been preaching that the Drift is a family, and nothing could be truer.  We have all worked hard, then at the end of the day we played hard.  This work ethic will carry on long after we are open.

It is true we are giving away a lot of money and doing a tremendous amount of advertising to open the Drift with a bang.  However, our success will be as a direct result of our people.  The buzz around the gaming community about the opening of the Drift has been heartwarming to hear.  This Buzz  has been about the people, not the place; the Mitchell family, a talented management team and most importantly a crew of frontline dealers and servers who are the best at what the do. 

The Drift would succeed without a dollar of promotion money, the staff is that good.  That said, we are giving away a lot of money and match plays, so come experience the best staff and the business and win some of the free money given away daily.

Thanks to all my fellow Drift employees, I can't wait to move forward and and make The Drift the most successful and entertaining casino in Washington.  I will see you all October 19!!!
