Tom Breitling and Cedric Crear introduced the honoree. Upon graduating from the University of Southern California, Poster founded Las Vegas Reservation Systems, which grew into Travelscape.com, which was eventually sold to Expedia. In 2004, using money from that sale, Poster and partner Breitling purchased the Golden Nugget, which they sold in 2005. Currently, Poster is one of the senior vice presidents of strategy and development for Wynn Resorts.
