Here’s a glimpse at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas sales team for a property that will soon be a major player in the Las Vegas marketplace.

He also served in sales leadership roles for Planet Hollywood Las Vegas Resort & Casino, Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas, and Hyatt Regency Indianapolis.

Carmen M. Rubino Jr. rejoins Fontainebleau Las Vegas as vice president of sales. He previously served three years as executive director of hotel sales when the resort was in development under a different owner. His list of work experience is extensive, with a few local highlights including working as senior director of sales and marketing at The Cosmopolitan and vice president of hotel operations and director of sales and marketing for JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort and Spa.

Erin Naeve brings more than 20-plus years of sales experience in the Las Vegas hospitality and gaming industries to her new role as vice president of distribution and social sales. Prior to joining Fontainebleau Las Vegas, she was executive director of leisure sales for Resorts World Las Vegas and executive director of group sales and leisure sales for The Cosmopolitan, where she joined Wuebbenhorst in opening the resort in 2010.
