Portia Meyers

Executive Casino Host

Hello, my name is Portia Meyers. I was born and raised in the Philippines. I moved here to Cincinnati in 2008 and fell in love with the city. I currently reside in Florence, KY, which is just across the Ohio river. I began my gaming career in 2010 and have been with this property since 2014. My favorite thing about being a host is being able to build relationships with my guests, current and new and create memorable experiences when they visit our property. I enjoy hosting off property events such as taking my VIP guests to sporting events, concerts, cross property trips and many more. Working for Hard Rock is great not only because of the upbeat culture but also because I love music of different genres! Outside of work, I love spending time with my family. I also love to travel and explore and go on adventures.
