Andy Masi – Partner & Chief Executive Officer
Andy Masi, managing partner for The Light Group, has helped shape the Las Vegas-based company into the entertaining and real estate powerhouse that it is today. Masi oversees all operations for The Light Group and its current and future ventures in both the nightlife and real estate markets. His deep understanding of the Las Vegas market allows The Light Group to successfully cater to both the international tourism market and the local Las Vegas audience. Masi works in close collaboration with Light Group owner and partner Andrew Sasson and is integral in all business decisions and developments.
Masi partnered with long-time friend Sasson in 2001 to develop and launch Light, The Light Group’s first venture in Las Vegas at Bellagio in December. Light soon became the hottest night spot in the city and set the standard for entertainment and nightlife in Las Vegas and throughout the nation. Capitalizing on the success of its first Vegas venue, The Light Group expanded into further entertainment and nightlife ventures with Caramel Bar & Lounge and FIX Restaurant & Bar at Bellagio, Mist Bar & Lounge at Treasure Island, STACK Restaurant & Bar and JET Nightclub at The Mirage and The Light Group’s two newest ventures, Bare Pool Lounge at The Mirage and Diablo’s Cantina at Monte Carlo with several more concepts on the horizon. Masi oversaw the design and construction for all ventures and currently oversees operations for all venues, which are recognized for setting trends in Vegas and beyond, much to Masi’s credit.
Before partnering with Sasson, Masi was a seasoned Las Vegas nightlife leader. He is responsible for helping create and market the successful House of Blues at Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino, which has since become the company’s flagship venue with revenues in excess of $35 million a year.
Originally from New York, Masi made his start in nightlife in Boston, where he attended Boston University and landed the position of general manager for the famous 1,000-person capacity nightclub, AXIS, at the age of 21. Masi’s success at AXIS led him to overseeing the marketing, operations and expansion of the city’s hot party district, Landsdowne Street.
