After just four months in the job, Resorts World Las Vegas is reportedly moving on from Alex Dixon as CEO. He will transition onto the Board of Directors as a Senior Advisor, with current Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Carlos Castro set to step into the role, according to Vital Vegas:

The casino has been plagued by various scandals since opening in June 2021, most notably the anti-money laundering case that led to the firing of Scott Sibella as the property’s President in September 2023 for accepting the business of illegal bookmaker Wayne Nix.

Dixon was previously the CEO of Iowa’s Q Casino & Resort

Dixon was previously the CEO of Iowa’s Q Casino & Resort, so running a Las Vegas Strip resort was a major step up. One of the most high-profile moments of his four-month reign was when he went to the lobby to talk to disgruntled patrons seeking refunds for the MrBeast Experience that took place at the property.

The likely replacement, Castro, has only worked at Resorts World since February, having held senior roles at MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment, and Hilton Hotels Corporation in the past. At the time of his arrival at Resorts World, he said he was looking forward to driving “financial excellence” and improving the overall guest experience.
