In today’s Vegas Seven, you can read my brief profile of Joe Magliarditi:
In his new job as president of the Palms, Joe Magliarditi sees some obvious reminders of his earlier experiences.The Rio, where he got his start in gaming in the 1990s, was the prototypical casino with a visitors/locals marketing split. The M Resort, which he opened as chief operating officer, was designed explicitly to capture parts of both markets as well. And in his time as president of the Hard Rock—which ended abruptly when new ownership forced a regime change earlier this year—Magliarditi made a concerted effort to attract locals while trying to revive the property’s flagging finances.

He seemed very committed to the property upgrades, including the revamp of the original tower room and possibly the F&B, so I’d expect to see changes soon.
