When you’re a driven person with a goal and you’re willing to do every job in the building, you really don’t let anything bother you.

Anthony Jamison embodies that. In this no-holds-barred conversation, the co-owner of The Sand Dollar and La Casa De Juliette in Las Vegas gets personal. His obvious love for his two children and wife is the fuel behind his unrelenting work ethic.

He’s built a cult following at The Sand Dollar by leaning into what people actually want… Quality drinks and food at an affordable price, good vibes, and rock & roll. He also put the chef hat back on to run the kitchen at La Casa De Juliette, which he opened in Northwest Las Vegas.

What he really wants to talk about, though, is the hospitality industry.
