40 Under 40: Griffin Tendler, Vice President of Marketing, Sapphire Las Vegas

Griffin Tender

Griffin Tendler was always mystified by Las Vegas’ energy and vibrancy, but when he developed a passion for music, earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing and entered a career in nightlife, his attraction to the city grew immensely. Upon moving here five years ago, he realized it was the perfect place for his passions to merge as he honed the art of creating an unforgettable experience.

With impeccable leadership skills developed through five years in the U.S. Army, Tendler settled into leadership roles at Tao Group Hospitality where he designed innovative marketing campaigns for world-renowned nightclubs and restaurants and collaborated with some of the world’s biggest artists. He is now the vice president of marketing at Sapphire Las Vegas, where he has led the charge in transforming the brand from a typical gentlemen’s club to a refined luxury brand, attracting a broader and higher-paying customer base.

In the community, Tendler actively volunteers with local veteran organizations and provides pro bono marketing support to veteran-owned businesses, empowering them to thrive.
