hings are happy and upbeat when Billy DeVille is around. He’s positive and wants everyone
else to be that way too. That’s what makes
him good at his job with the Hard Rock Casino where he’s worked since 2005. He serves as player development executive and has
a long history in music and show business. He’s spent almost his entire
life in the public eye. He’s been a
guitarist with bands, a show producer, a hair model for Malcolm of London, a suit model, a band manager, a bit player on TV and in movies, a brand evangelist and an all-around showman.
