“After a thorough national search, the board unanimously concluded that Bill is the best candidate to lead MGM Resorts through these immensely challenging times and into a more promising future,” said Paul Salem, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

“There are a few tests of leadership greater than what Bill has faced. His seasoned global experience, depth of knowledge, and steady hand have provided reassurance and confidence to our employees, partners, guests, and shareholders during one of the most difficult periods in the history of our company. He has fully earned the opportunity before him.”

The Best Days Are Ahead

Hornbuckle has vast experience in the gaming industry and is highly respected by its peers as a seasoned professional. A graduate of the University of Nevada with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Hotel Administration, he serves on the Board of Trustees for Three Square Food Bank and is currently Executive Director and Board Chairman of MGM China Holdings with operations and resorts in Macau. Acting CEO and President of MGM Resorts since March 2020, Hornbuckle replaced Jim Murren, who stepped down earlier this year.

In addition, he is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the CityCenter JV (a joint venture with Dubai World) and is a member of the Las Vegas Stadium Authority Board of Directors. Also, he is a Founder of the Bank of George, a local banking institution.

“I am honored to lead this company as we look toward long-term recovery, future growth, and opportunity,” Hornbuckle said in a statement. “In doing so, I am especially mindful of the thousands of MGM Resorts employees who have been profoundly impacted by the current circumstances. Their dedication to the company’s mission and safety allows guests from around the world to experience moments of happiness and hospitality amid uncertain times.”

“I am here today presented with this leadership role due to the tremendous accomplishments, passion, and courage of our people,” he continued.

“While we will continue to operate in this new normal for the near term, fundamentally I am incredibly optimistic about the future of our company and our industry. We will remain focused on taking care of our guests and each other as we look toward our best days ahead.”
