Lupo’s appointment is subject to regulatory approval stemming from Hard Rock’s purchase of the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas from MGM Resorts for $1.08bn (£888.8m/€1.06bn). The deal was agreed in December 2021.
Lupo was previously named as president of Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City in 2018. Before this, he was president of Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tampa, Florida. He is expected to move into the role after Hard Rock receives its licence from the Nevada Gaming Commission.
