About Us

CEG Foundation

In the heart of Las Vegas, Nevada, a remarkable story of determination, perseverance, and passion unfolded. The tale of CEG Dealer School, a once-small institution that has risen to prominence, is a testament to the enduring spirit of its founders and the boundless potential of dreams. From its modest origins to its grand presence in the Fashion Show Mall as Casino Quest, this is a narrative of triumph against all odds.

 

CEG Dealer School began its journey as a small establishment, tucked away from the glitz and glamour of the Strip. In the midst of the bustling city, its founders faced the challenges of an arduous and demanding industry. The path was marked by sleepless nights, countless hours of practice, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. The early days were filled with trials that tested their resolve, yet they persisted, determined to carve a space for themselves in the world of gaming.

 

Their dedication bore fruit as they expanded their reach and opened the doors to Casino Quest at the prestigious Fashion Show Mall. This bold move marked a significant turning point, propelling CEG Dealer School into the limelight. What was once a small school had now become a vibrant hub, drawing in enthusiasts and aspiring dealers from all corners. The journey from their modest beginnings to this illustrious destination exemplified the grit and sweat that went into every deck shuffled and every hand dealt.

 

What truly sets CEG Dealer School apart is their unwavering focus on family. As they reflect on their journey, they realize that their thriving enterprise is more than just a business – it’s a growing and thriving family. From instructors to students, each individual is a part of this tapestry, contributing their unique thread to the story of success. The sense of community and camaraderie that defines their establishment is a living testament to their values and the legacy they are building.
