According to the announcement, Castro will “lead the organization by continuing to attract top talents and initial resorts world to the next step of its growth.” In his new role, Dixon will “run business projects, build new strategic partnerships and work to develop synergies of Resorts the world’s properties”, reads a post on casino’s social media account.

On Wednesday, Castro Nevada Gaming Control Board addressed when Resorts World Las Vegas parent company, Genting Berhad, had a waiting question before the supervisory authorities. Castro told the Board that $ 4.3 billion resort, recently evaluated a fine of $ 10.5 million, the second largest in Nevada history, to allow illegal bookmakers to play on the property, was in “recovery mode.”
Resorts World Las Vegas “has taken a hit over the past three quarters,” Castro told GCB and noted in particular that casino’s slot operations have declined. A new Senior Vice President of Slot Operations is scheduled to start in June, the property’s new president told the supervisory authorities.
