In 2009, after 12 years as a full-time employee and head of the Production Management division of NBA Entertainment, Paul Goldman moved to Las Vegas to pursue other opportunities in the live event and entertainment business. While maintaining an excellent relationship with the NBA, he broadened his scope by joining the team at The Pearl Theater at the Palms Casino, as the house Stage Manager. Over the years, from 2010 to 2016, Goldman and the management at The Pearl, assembled an outstanding group of independent contractors to serve as the house crew for the theater.
Around the start of 2016, many companies in the event production and entertainment industry were moving away from hiring independent contractors, using payroll companies as the alternative. When the decision was made to contract a labor provider, the team was concerned about the future. Goldman formed GLP Logistics to compete for the production labor contract for the Pearl Theater. The bid was successful, the crew maintained their home base, the theater kept its care takers and GLP Logistics was born.
Station Casinos took over operations of The Palms, in the fall of 2016. Nothing changed at the theater. GLP Logistics stayed in place. The team’s professionalism and outward positivity was recognized by the Stations family. Shortly thereafter, came the invitation to support shows at Red Rock Pool, Sunset Station Amphitheater and other venues. From that growth, the company was able to establish with several other clients supporting a wide variety of events in Las Vegas.
From 2010 to present, an amazing combination of unique individuals have come together to create a very special team. GLP Logistics’ mission is to provide a safe, professional, welcoming, inclusive, and outwardly positive working environment for its team and clients alike. It has always been this way at The Pearl, and the success of the organization is directly attributed to the amazing efforts, and outward positivity, by all members of the GLP Logistics family.
