Company names new president
Thursday, April 10, 2003 | 9:52 a.m.
Park Place Entertainment Corp. today named Bobby Yee as president of the company's adjacent Bally's and Paris Las Vegas resorts on the Strip.
Yee, now president and chief executive officer of Casino Windsor In Ontario, Canada, replaces Anthony Santo. Santo, formerly president of the company's Flamingo resort, replaced Paul Pusateri, who resigned in 2000. Santo will now oversee operations of a dozen Park Place resorts as senior vice president of the company's Western and Mid-South regions.
Santo will also assume responsibility for the company's interests in LasVegas.com, the company's online joint venture with Mandalay Resort Group.
Frank Han, Park Place's senior vice president of electronic commerce, held that responsibility before leaving the company last month.
Yee has more than 25 years of experience in the gaming industry and assumed the top job at Casino Windsor in 1998 after serving as chief of Casino Rama, north of Toronto.
Kevin Laforet, chief operating officer of Windsor Casino Ltd., will assume Yee's position.
