40 Under 40: Courtney Garland, Director of Operations, Emerald Island and Rainbow Club Casinos

Courtney Garland

Courtney Garland loves turning any outcome into a win through enthusiasm, positivity and foresight. She developed a passion for the casino industry after being influenced by her parents, who dedicated their careers to gaming and hospitality. Today, Garland thrives in the fast-paced, high-volume nature of the 24/7 industry.

As a young woman in a male-dominated industry, Garland values the opportunity to work with a team dedicated to promoting a culture of inclusion and innovation that has been instrumental in her early success. She has managed several large-scale projects, including the integration of a new player tracking system, multiple property expansions, the restructure of the player rewards program and, most recently, the installation of a cutting-edge and convenient digital casino credit system.

Garland volunteers with the City of Henderson Animal Care and Control as a dog exerciser and an adoption counselor and is involved with the UNLV Alumni Association and the Henderson Chamber of Commerce.
