According to several sources, former MGM Resorts CEO Jim Murren is reportedly set to take over as president and CEO of Resorts World Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Murren has a long and colorful history in Las Vegas, a perfect match for the struggling Resorts World, a resort which has been plagued by controversy since it opened in 2021.<\/p>\n

Things are so bad at Resorts World, the resort just had its worst financial quarter in two years and blamed it on the heat. We are not making this up<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beautiful resort, messy story.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No official announcement has been made about Jim Murren taking the reins at Resorts World, but when has that ever stopped us from scooping the old-timey media on the biggest stories in Las Vegas? We reached out to Resorts World, but haven\u2019t heard back yet.<\/p>\n

Murren most recently has been\u00a0CEO and Executive Chairman of Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection. He\u2019s also Chairman of General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority, whatever that might be, and Co-Chairman Cirque du Soleil. The Cirque thing is very useful in casino management because you deal with a lot of clowns.<\/p>\n

Whatever one might think of Jim Murren, he has a clean record and is relatively well-regarded in the casino industry. That was not the case with the former CEO of Resorts World, Scott Sibella.<\/p>\n

Sibella got the boot after he \u201cviolated company policies and the terms of his employment.\u201d Basically, he turned a blind eye to money laundering.<\/p>\n

Sibella\u2019s temporary stand-in has been Resorts World\u2019s Chief Financial Officer, Peter LaVoie.<\/p>\n

Murren has reportedly been meeting with Resorts World staff for the last four days, and we trust he hasn\u2019t just been there to enjoy the resort\u2019s amenities.<\/p>\n

If anyone can give the appearance of fixing Resorts World, it\u2019s Jim Murren.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Among Jim Murren\u2019s most impressive accomplishments was when he fixed COVID as chair of the Nevada COVID-19 Response, Relief and Recovery Task Force.<\/p>\n

He also invented paid parking.<\/p>\n

If Murren takes over at Resorts World as rumored, he\u2019s taking on an undeniable challenge. He\u2019s going to have to clean up a lot of handshake deals inside the resort, get rid of the folks Sibella took the fall for and figure out how to right the resort\u2019s financial ship. No pressure.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
