The Middle Ground

From Radio Roots to Casino Giants: The Ron Garrett Story

Tom Letizia

On today’s episode of The Middle Ground, host Tom Letizia sits down with Ron Garrett, a Hall of Fame broadcaster, legendary ad executive, and seasoned casino executive. Ron takes us back to his early days in Las Vegas radio, reflects on building one of the top ad agencies in the state, and shares inside stories from the golden era of casino marketing. Now back on the airwaves, Ron brings full-circle insights on how the media landscape has evolved — and what still matters most in reaching people today. It’s a masterclass in storytelling, branding, and reinvention from one of Nevada’s most influential voices.
