Chloe Bredice, a UNLV Hospitality Management sophomore, is spending her summer interning at St. Regis Deer Valley (The St. Regis Deer Valley) – one of Park City’s most luxurious resorts!

During her internship, Chloe will work alongside the butler team to learn the intricacies of high-end hospitality and personalized ways to create memorable guest experiences. Not only was she drawn to the role because of St. Regis’ high level of luxury and scenic beauty, but also because it was a guest-facing internship – which was a must for Chloe.

Congratulations again, Chloe!

The Rebel energy at last night’s Hospitality Alumni Mixer was amazing!

The room was filled with both new and longtime alumni as we cheered on Vegas Golden Knights during game five of the Stanley Cup. Although the game didn’t turn out in our favor, we had the best company around!
