ALEX YEMENIDJIAN LIKELY TO HEAD TROPICANA
LAS VEGAS
JUNE 15, 2009
NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY
Alex Yemenidjian, the President of Armenian American billionaire Kirk
Kerkorian’s MGM Grand company, is likely to assume the post of CEO
of Tropicana Resort & Casino Las Vegas.
According to Marmara newspaper, the Nevada Gaming Commission’s
branch has already approved his appointment to this post, and in all
likelihood on June 18 Yemenidjian’s appointment as CEO of Tropicana
Las Vegas will be also approved by the indicated commission.
Tropicana is now facing serious financial problems, and the work to
turn it into a profitable company will become a new challenge to Alex
Yemenidjian, a close friend of Kirk Kerkorian and the Chairman of MGM
movie studio in the past. Yemenidjian has greatly contributed to MGM
Grand’s overhauling.
