The highly anticipated Fontainebleau Las Vegas, set to open December 2023 on the Las Vegas Strip, announced several new leadership appointments, including Mark Tricano as president of the resort.
Tricano brings nearly 20 years of experience in the gaming, hospitality and finance sectors to his new role, one provisionally held by Fontainebleau Development President Brett Mufson. Tricano has worked for industry-leading companies around the globe such as Hong Kong-based Galaxy Entertainment Group, Caesars Entertainment, Station Casinos and JACK Entertainment.
Most recently in Macau, Tricano served as senior vice president of gaming development and optimization services, labor planning and hotel revenue management for Galaxy Entertainment Group, where he oversaw 13,000-plus team members and 4,000 hotel rooms.
“It is a tremendous honor to take on the responsibility of leading the Las Vegas team toward a defining moment in Las Vegas history,” Tricano said in a press release announcing his hiring. “Fontainebleau Development’s leadership has conceived this resort with a unique, independent vision that sets it apart from everything there is, and anything there has ever been on the Strip.”
In addition to Tricano, the Fontainebleau Las Vegas team also welcomed Michelle Reda as chief casino marketing officer, bringing with her 25 years of experience in luxury hospitality and casino marketing for Las Vegas resorts.
Kimberly Virtuoso, who joined the team in 2022 as vice president of people, has been promoted to senior vice president of people for the resort, a role in which she will oversee the resort’s human resources strategy and hiring of thousands of Fontainebleau Las Vegas employees.
