While visiting Las Vegas nearly 15 years ago, Alan Walker stepped into a casino employment center on a whim and left with a front-desk job. Today, he serves as director of brand marketing for Aria Resort & Casino and Vdara Hotel & Spa.
Walker develops story-driven marketing that attracts travelers to Las Vegas while maintaining brand integrity. His career includes leadership roles across premier nightlife and hospitality brands, from Krave and Omnia Nightclub to Caesars Entertainment. In 2020, Jon Taffer tapped him to launch the Taffer’s Tavern franchise, where he also helped create Taffer’s Browned Butter Bourbon. He later led the West Coast expansion of Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Bar.
In the community, Walker co-chaired the 2025 Leadership Las Vegas’ Gaming, Tourism and Entertainment session day and has supported Relay For Life and the Human Rights Campaign.
