BILOXI, Miss.
MGM Resorts International announced that Marcus G. Glover has been named general manager of the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Miss.
The 1,740-room property offers about 50,000 square feet of meeting and event space.
Glover will be responsible for overseeing the daily operations of the resort while providing strategic direction and leadership. With more than a decade of experience in the gaming and hospitality industry, he has designed and developed properties from the ground up in new gaming jurisdictions, as well as held responsibility for project management, government relations and labor relations.
He most recently served as Senior Vice President and General Manager for Caesars in Northeast Ohio, the state's first gaming establishment and jurisdiction. While in this position, he led the design, development, strategic operations and customer service for the $400 million urban casino, which became a market share leader among casinos and racinos in Ohio. Prior, Glover was the Assistant General Manager and Vice President of Operations for Harrah's in St. Louis, where he oversaw hospitality operations and all aspects of the $280 million resort that featured a robust casino, 500-guest room hotel and multiple F&B venues.
His experience in the Gulf Coast moved him around Mississippi and Louisiana between 2003 and 2008, starting in the Strategic Project Internship program at Caesars Entertainment Corporation.
Ultimately, his talents earned him various leadership positions with the company and roles on marquee projects such as the development of a $15 million destination and entertainment venue in New Orleans and the reopening of the Grand Casino in Biloxi after Hurricane Katrina. Glover began his career as a Business Analyst/Consultant with Accenture and Deloitte.
"I'm excited to be joining the MGM Resorts team and look forward to getting back to the Gulf Coast," said Glover. "Beau Rivage is the premier destination resort in the region and I look forward to leading such an outstanding property and its award-winning team in the next phase of development."
Glover is a member of several associations where he serves on the Board of Trustees, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Playhouse Square, Destination Cleveland, Cuyahoga Community College Foundation and Greater Cleveland Partnership.
He earned his Master of Business Administration from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University and he holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Finance from Morehouse College.
