Prior to Austin, Yacout served in multiple leadership roles at Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, beginning as a Guest Services Manager before his promotion to Front Office Manager. He also served as Hotel Assistant Manager at the front desk at Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC. Yacout began his Four Seasons career in 2007 as part of the pre-opening concierge team at Four Seasons Hotel Alexandria at San Stefano in Egypt. Yacout graduated with a BS in Hotel Management from the University of Alexandria in Egypt. He hails originally from Queens, New York.
Yacout will reside in Las Vegas with his wife Lina, daughters Dania and Leila, and German shepherd Brooklyn. An avid sports fan, he looks forward to supporting local Las Vegas teams, enjoying the diverse culinary scene and exploring the outdoors.
