Las Vegas entrepreneur competition seeks next post-covid innovation Christine Hall, Crunchbase · April 30, 2020 at 3:00 pm As states begin reopening after shutting down amid the COVID-19 pandemic, certain industries, such as hospitality, entertainment and travel, may not bounce immediately back until both guests and employees feel safe being close to one another again. Greg Lee, chairman and CEO of Eureka Casinos, is working with his family’s foundation and the Lee Business School at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to create a $1 million entrepreneur competition to find the next innovations that will provide solutions to these problems. The Lee School Prize for Innovation and Entrepreneurship is a way to bridge the gap between reopening and re-engaging in travel, eating out at restaurants and staying in hotels, Andre Carrier, COO of Eureka Casinos, told Crunchbase News.
