It will take time, but Shawn Cardinal will eventually learn not to rush to answer the telephone.
That’s easier said than done for a person who has spent most of the past four decades as the personal assistant to gaming executives and had a private phone line at her home to answer their calls 24/7.
Cardinal, 65, retired this month from a career that included 24 years working for philanthropist and gaming executive Elaine Wynn. She served as an eyewitness to changes in the industry as the company transitioned from the Golden Nugget to Mirage Resorts to Wynn Resorts before embarking on a 16-year journey as the personal assistant to Red Rock Resorts CEO Frank Fertitta III.
