MGM Mirage promotes execs

22 Feb 2008

LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- MGM Mirage shuffled several executives throughout its properties Thursday.

New York-New York had the biggest shake-up; property President Lorenzo Creighton was named president of the company's recently expanded $800 million MGM Grand Detroit resort, which opened in October.

Cynthia Kiser Murphey, who has overseen human resources for the company since 1992 and handled last year's collective bargaining talks for MGM Mirage with Culinary Local 226, was named New York-New York's president. Kiser Murphey becomes MGM Mirage's second female property president. Renee West has been the president of Excalibur since 2005.

Creighton was the Strip's first black resort president when he ran the Flamingo Hilton. He took over New York-New York in 2005.

Meanwhile, Mandalay Bay President Bill Hornbuckle will expand his role to include serving as president of the under-development MGM Grand Atlantic City.

The $5 billion hotel-casino project, planned for land next to Borgata in the city's Marina district, is expected to open in 2012.
