US.- Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas has announced the appointment of Rod Turlan as president and general manager. He joins from Caesars Entertainment and will oversee all aspects of the resort’s operations.
The move comes after Lori Ware, most recently chief financial officer at Jamul Casino Resort, was named chief financial officer, while Ashley Lowe joined as senior vice president of sales after serving in the same role at M Resort Spa Casino. Vince Lentini was appointed senior vice president of marketing.
Eric Birnbaum, CEO of Dreamscape Retail & Entertainment, said: “Rod Turlan, together with these newly hired executives and our existing leadership team, brings the right combination of experience and talent to Rio at this important stage of its transformation. We are excited to welcome these seasoned leaders to the team as we continue building on Rio’s momentum and positioning the property for long-term success.”
Turlan commented: “Rio is in an exciting new chapter, and I’m honoured to lead the team during this period of significant growth. With the unwavering support of ownership and a strong foundation that includes newly remodelled suites, a refreshed casino floor, and top-tier entertainment, Rio delivers a fresh and compelling experience for today’s Las Vegas visitor.”
Last year, the casino unveiled its new baccarat room.
