Mohegan appoints Joseph Hasson as COO??

Mohegan, a prominent developer of integrated entertainment resorts globally, has officially named Joseph J. Hasson its Chief Operating Officer (COO), pending regulatory approvals. Hasson has been the interim COO since April, and his appointment solidifies his role in steering the company’s strategic direction.??

“Joe Hasson’s expertise, garnered over more than 40 years in the gaming and hospitality industries, coupled with his exemplary leadership at our Las Vegas property, positions him uniquely to ensure strategic alignment and continuity across Mohegan’s diverse portfolio,” Ray Pineault, President and CEO of Mohegan, said. “We are confident that his leadership as our Chief Operating Officer will be instrumental in our sustained success.”  

Hasson replaced Jody Madigan, who resigned from his role effective Aug. 1. He, however, took a leave of absence in the intervening period.  

Overseeing global operations??

According to Mohegan’s press release, Hasson will oversee the day-to-day operations of Mohegan’s resorts across the United States, Canada, and Northern Asia. He will continue his responsibilities as General Manager of Mohegan Casino at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas during its ownership transition. Reporting directly to Pineault, Hasson is expected to enhance operational efficiency and guest satisfaction while upholding Mohegan’s high service standards.  

During the first quarter of this year, Mohegan reported net revenues of $461.7 million (€422.4 million), marking a 13.8 percent increase compared to the same period last year. According to reports, the growth was driven by Mohegan Inspire Entertainment Resort in South Korea which opened in March and features a casino exclusively for foreigners.  

Mohegan Inspire Entertainment Resort is the venue of the upcoming SiGMA Asia Land-Based Retreat happening from Aug. 22-24.  

Commitment to sustainable growth??

Hasson will collaborate closely with Mohegan’s leadership team to align strategic processes with the company’s overarching goals. His focus will be on the sustainable growth of Mohegan’s portfolio of entertainment resorts, ensuring long-term success and development.  

Before joining Mohegan, Hasson served as COO of Station Casinos LLC and Red Rock Resorts, Inc.?
