New COO named

Wednesday, June 20, 2001 | 10:40 a.m.

Station Casinos Inc. on Tuesday named Stephen Cavallaro its new executive vice president and chief operating officer.

Cavallaro, the former president and chief executive officer of Internet travel company Travelscape.com, replaced Blake Sartini, who served as Station's COO since 1997. Station announced Monday that Sartini had resigned and acquired its slot route subsidiary, Southwest Gaming Services Inc., for $14 million in stock.

Prior to taking the CEO's post at Travelscape, Cavallaro served as COO of Harveys Casino Resorts of Lake Tahoe and general manager of the Hard Rock hotel-casino in Las Vegas. Cavallaro has worked for Station previously, serving as general manager of Palace Station from 1992 to 1994.

Cavallaro has been working as a gaming industry consultant for Station, Ameristar Casinos and several other companies since leaving Travelscape in September 2000, following that company's acquisition by Expedia Inc.
