His storied career boasts many accomplishments, including assisting in NBCUniversal’s first foray into Las Vegas with the leasing of a 120,000 square-foot stand-alone building off the Las Vegas Strip, Sony’s Wonderverse in 83,000 square feet at Oakbrook Mall outside of Chicago, IL, representing Howard Hughes in the repositioning and leasing of 150,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and entertainment space at The Seaport District in New York City and representing AFI USA in the repositioning and leasing of more than 180,000 square feet of retail space at the Times Square Building in New York City, with the latter earning him the Real Estate Board of New York’s (REBNY) Most Creative Retail Deal of the Year Award.

As part of Dreamscape Companies’ redevelopment of the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Strauss’ extensive experience and knowledge will serve an integral role in breathing new life into the 200,000-square-foot Masquerade Village space.
