When Resorts World Las Vegas opened in June 2020, it was celebrated as the latest luxury casino resort to open on the Las Vegas Strip. But maybe opening in the midst of the pandemic was a sign, because the property failed to reach expectations from the start. And then when the federal government began investigating the property president and executives for financial misconduct, it just got worse. In late 2024, the owners of Resorts World, Malaysia’s Genting Group, brought in former MGM Resorts CEO Jim Murren as chairman of the board along with entirely new members, at the same time announcing the hiring of former MGM executive Alex Dixon as president and CEO. Dixon’s latest credit was turning around a small casino in Iowa, but saving Resorts World will take another level of skill. A Las Vegas native, Dixon sat down with GGB Publisher Roger Gros in February to talk about the plans and how he is approaching his new position.
