"I've always enjoyed doing things for other people," Casino Host Sara Becker says. "Sometimes they need big things, sometimes small things. Sometimes they just want someone who listens."

Sara began working at Circus Circus Reno over 16 years ago in the Keno department. She moved to the host office last summer, where she enjoys the challenges of her new job.

"I learn something new almost everyday. It's important to get out of your comfort zone every once in awhile."

Originally from Connecticut, she moved out west to Las Vegas, then relocated to Reno shortly afterwards for better weather and scenery. She enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and cross country skiing. In 2005, Sara was chosen by the Nevada Women's Fund as one of the Women of Achievement, as well as being the recipient of Circus Circus Reno's Chairman's Leadership Award.

Sara encourages every player to join the One Club because it is a way to get the slot machine to work for you. Members also earn discounts in Circus Reno's retail shops as well as offers for upcoming events and concerts.

As far as the secret to winning big, Sara can only say that timing, luck, and patience play a big part. And at the end of the day, Sara just wants to make sure people are happy.

"A smile is a universal language. It doesn't have to be interpreted. You'd be surprised at how much a smile can make a difference in someone's day."
