Vice President - Resort Operations

There are operators, and then there are architects. The ones who do not just run a property -- they shape what it becomes. Who know the difference between managing a hotel and building one from the inside out.

This is a role for the latter.

Bally's Chicago is a $1.7 billion integrated resort rising along the Chicago River -- 500 hotel rooms, 50,000 square feet of convention space, a 3,000-seat entertainment venue, a two-acre park, 2,000 feet of riverwalk, and a casino that will redefine gaming in one of the great American cities. We are seeking a Vice President of Resort Operations to build the operational foundation before the first guest ever walks through the door.
