His previous experience as Executive Vice President, Global Gaming Operations, and President and COO of The Venetian and The Palazzo Las Vegas has provided him with the necessary background for the position that will shape the company's future.

In adopting the position, Mr. Goldstein shared his thoughts on the late founder he worshiped:

“Our moods have been weaker in the weeks since his death, but the future of the company he founded shines brightly. He would expect nothing less than an aggressive pursuit of the work that has been started, and I am determined to run this company in a way that best reflects his vision. "
