V.I.P. Hosts

Paige seamlessly balances her casino players and overseeing the VIP Host staff. She started with us in 2013 in the Gift Shop and, after coming on board full-time, she was quickly promoted to the VIP Host position and then to the VIP Player Development Supervisor just a couple of years later.

She was nearly full-term with her son, Trey, at the time of her promotion, so her players ask about him often! That's her favorite part of the job, letting people get to know her and vice versa. She describes it as getting to work with your friends. Paige is very happy with her current team and, of course, adores the players. To boot, she gets to work with her mom, René Stolsmark, the Assistant Hotel Director and Group Sales Manager. For all of those reasons, she plans to stick around a very long time!

Fun Fact:

Paige has an affinity for good music. Next time you see her, ask her how she got the nickname "Polka Paige!"

We're excited to say that Dakota is a Grand Falls lifer! Her first job was working as a Robert's Buffet table busser. She also lifeguarded for us in the summer and worked as a housekeeping supervisor in the winter.

After moving away to pursue an education in marketing and economics at South Dakota State University, she moved back to the area and applied as a VIP host...and we're so glad she did! As she finishes up her college work online, her goal is to continue working at Grand Falls in a more marketing-oriented role. Since Dakota joined us in 2013, she's confessed to extensive learning. She loves everything about the casino life and guest service, including meeting interesting people. Watch out, GM, she's coming for you! In addition to enjoying her work, studies and home life (including her bloodhound), Dakota likes to ride horses and take long walks on the beach. Please say hello next time you see her!

Fun Fact:

Dakota once fell out of the window of a two-story building...and broke zero bones!

Kay recently graduated from the University of South Dakota with a major in Communication Studies and a minor in Media/Journalism. He decided to become a VIP Host because he enjoys helping people in order to make their visits more memorable. His current address is in South Dakota, but before moving to the area, he had quite the journey. Born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, Kay moved to the United States in 2014 and has lived in San Antonio, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

Why South Dakota? Kay chose the area because of the reasonable cost of living and friendly people. Aside from the funny weather, he enjoys the Midwest; especially the quality of beef that can be found here. He will happily admit to eating New York strip at least three times a week since moving here.

Fun Fact:

Kay's favorite music artist is Ed Sheeran!
