Plaza Hotel & Casino to open new High Limit Gaming Room this summer
The Plaza Hotel & Casino in downtown Las Vegas will open a High Limit Gaming Room later this summer, offering an exclusive slot play area with the newest, most popular games.
Located on the main casino floor, the Plaza’s new High Limit Gaming Room will be an intimate gaming space with approximately 60 state-of-the-art games, including several electronic table games, for an enhanced gaming experience.
“The Plaza continues to diversify its offerings to meet the changing needs of our guests,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “Adding a High Limit Gaming Room is just another amenity we want to provide so our guests know they have a variety of gaming options at the Plaza, including an exclusive, comfortable, and personalized area for slot play.”
Jossel added that the High Limit Gaming Room is being added due to the Plaza’s growing slot business, new higher-end players making the Plaza home, and requests from longstanding customers.
To create a uniquely opulent ambiance, the design of the Plaza’s High Limit Gaming Room blends classic Las Vegas glamour with modern sophistication, featuring rich dark tones, gold Art Deco detailing, and plush upholstery.
The Plaza’s new High Limit Gaming Room will also offer players convenient amenities like a concierge desk where casino hosts can assist guests with booking dinner reservations at the award-winning Oscar’s Steakhouse, hotel room upgrades, reserving a cabana at the Plaza’s rooftop pool, and more.
Dedicated cocktail servers will provide personalized service to guests round-the-clock, while the room will also feature chilled beverages available to guests at their leisure. Additionally, guests will have convenient access to an ATM/TITO redemption machine installed for use only in the High Limit Gaming Room.
To ensure the experience in the new High Limit Gaming Room feels intimate and personalized, the Plaza capped its size to 2,000 sq. ft. It is also being designed with the functionality to transform into a private event room with ample counter space to accommodate party platters, buffets, and beverages.
The Plaza’s new High Limit Gaming Room will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and a grand opening event will be held later this summer.

SCCG Management Announces Appointment of Michael Silberling as Chairman
SCCG Management, a leading global advisory firm specializing in gaming, sports betting, and iGaming, announced the appointment of Michael Silberling as Chairman of SCCG Management. In this role, Silberling will provide strategic guidance to SCCG’s executive leadership team, supporting the company’s continued global expansion, partnership development, and long-term growth initiatives across the gaming and entertainment ecosystem.
Silberling brings more than 25 years of executive leadership experience across international gaming, hospitality, and resort operations. Previously serving as CEO of Metropolitan Gaming, Silberling has led the organization since 2021, overseeing strategic portfolio optimization, international market focus, and brand repositioning initiatives.
Under his leadership, Metropolitan Gaming recently divested its interest in Emerald Resort and Casino, enabling the company to focus on strengthening its presence in key markets such as the United Kingdom and Egypt, while advancing a rebranding of its flagship Mayfair property. The transaction, completed with a consortium controlled by Tsogo Sun, reflects Silberling’s disciplined approach to capital allocation and long-term value creation.
Silberling’s career spans some of the most recognized names in the global gaming industry. He began his career in Nevada in casino management before joining Caesars Entertainment, where he served from 2008 to 2014 as President of International Operations. During this time, he also held the role of Managing Director at London Clubs International, overseeing casino operations across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and contributing to the successful launch of new properties in Cairo, Glasgow, and Leeds.
Prior to his current role, Silberling served as CEO of Affinity Gaming in Las Vegas, where he drove significant operational growth, and as Chief Operating Officer of Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment, where he oversaw a diverse portfolio of properties including Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, and international assets in Canada and beyond.
“Michael is a highly respected global leader whose experience across international gaming markets, operations, and strategic transactions makes him an exceptional addition to SCCG,” said Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management.
As Chairman, Silberling will collaborate closely with SCCG’s leadership and global partner network, offering strategic insights on international market expansion, operational excellence, mergers and acquisitions, and emerging opportunities across regulated and developing gaming jurisdictions.
Silberling, originally from Palo Alto, California, currently resides in London. He holds an MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management and began his career as a management trainee at Harrah’s Entertainment, building a foundation that has supported decades of global leadership in the gaming industry.
His appointment further strengthens SCCG Management’s advisory platform, reinforcing the company’s commitment to partnering with industry leaders who bring deep expertise, global perspective, and a proven track record of success.

This year, we’re going to $300 million. Whether you’re playing a $3 Low Tier tournament or the $10K GGMillion$ Main Event, you’re part of the biggest thing to ever happen in online poker.
