The first woman ever named president of a Las Vegas Strip resort, Luxor and Excalibur president Renée West, is to retire in April.
West will be replaced by two people. Nik Rytterstrom has been named general manager of Luxor and Ann Hoff has been general manager of Excalibur since 2014. West has been the president of the two Strip resorts since 2010.
She joined MGM Resorts in 2000 as vice president of human resources at the three Primm Valley resorts. She was soon named president of the casinos, the first woman in the company’s history to oversee a property.
In 2005, West was promoted to president at Excalibur. Four years later, she took over as president of Mandalay Bay.
