A third generation Las Vegan, James Mulidore grew up in the hospitality business. His grandfather was once a partner in the Hacienda Resort and his father was the Musical Director at the Las Vegas Hilton where he was the band leader and conductor for the likes of Elvis Presley, Barbara Streisand and The Rat Pack. James’s mother also opened The Mirage in 1989 as the head of VIP Services.
Being exposed at a young age to the hospitality business drove James to want to learn all aspects of the industry, so he worked his way up, starting as a pool attendant, then to the front desk and VIP Services, until his landed his first management position at MGM Grand as the part of the opening team of Skylofts at MGM Grand. Later, he transitioned from Hotel Operations to Food & Beverage where he grew in different management and director roles at MGM Resorts until he had the opportunity to join The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in 2016 as the Director of Restaurants. He was promoted to the Sr. Director of Food & Beverage in 2017. During his time at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas James has helped open over a dozen new F&B venues including Momofuku, Zuma, Block 16 Urban Food Hall, Red Plate and The Barbershop.
In his free time James loves to spend time with his wife Marie, their two boys James IV, and David Miles. James is also an avid golfer and snowboarder and loves traveling to new destinations, particularly to try the best restaurants in the area!
