Meet The Team

Richard Douglas

General Manager

Richard Douglas was born, raised and received his education all right here in Las Vegas. After college, Richard achieved his Level 2 Certified Sommelier with the Court of Master Sommeliers. He studied intently for over five years to get to the Level 3 Advanced but ultimately decided he’d rather enjoy the wine than study it. Who could blame him?

With over 35 years in the food and beverage industry and vast experience working in many established downtown venues – Richard is a key addition to our Triple George Grill team.

For seven of his years in the food and beverage industry, Richard worked for Joachim Splichal – the James Beard award-winning chef and owner of Patina Restaurant in LA – as the Wine Director. While working for Chef Splichal, Richard was sent to the US Open in 2004 where he headed the private dining room for the President of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) and George H. W. Bush. No pressure!

Richard has also helped launch great Las Vegas restaurant openings such as; B&B, Otto and Carnevino where he then worked as a sommelier and eventually became general manager for five years.

What Richard loves most about Triple George Grill is the blend of old school Las Vegas ideals married to modern cuisine prepared with the highest level of care and ingredients. “I find these qualities to be unique to Las Vegas, and as a Las Vegas native and culinary professional, I believe I am qualified to say that.”

When Richard is not at Triple George Grill, he can be found spending the majority of his free time with his beloved fur babies.
