Resorts World Las Vegas has onboarded industry leaders Lou Dorn and Elizabeth Tranchina to boost its legal team.
The new hires will oversee legal, regulatory, governance, and risk-related functions at the resort, driving operational excellence and supporting long-term growth.
Dorn joins the operator in a dual role as chief legal officer and corporate secretary and makes the switch after serving as senior vice president and general counsel for North America at Bally’s Corporation.
Before that, he held executive legal roles at Monarch Casino & Resort, SLS Las Vegas, Aliante Casino and Hotel, and the Las Vegas Hilton. He has also served as chief of the corporate securities division at the Nevada Gaming Control Board and as deputy attorney general for the State of Nevada.
“Lou brings an exceptional depth of experience in gaming law and regulatory compliance that will be instrumental as we continue to grow and evolve,” said Resorts World Las Vegas chairman Jim Murren. “His leadership will help ensure our operations remain forward-thinking, responsible and built on a strong legal foundation.”
Dorn said of his appointment: “Joining Resorts World Las Vegas at such a dynamic time in its growth is an exciting opportunity. Having spent my career navigating the complexities of gaming law and regulatory compliance, I look forward to supporting the resort’s continued success by ensuring we operate with the highest standards of legal integrity and strategic governance.”
Tranchina joins Resorts World as general counsel, bringing over 20 years of experience in legal and regulatory compliance from the gaming and hospitality industries, including her time at the Gaming Division of the Louisiana Department of Justice.
Carlos Castro, president and chief financial officer of Resorts World Las Vegas, said: “Elizabeth brings a steady, solutions-oriented mindset to complex legal challenges. Her experience across gaming and financial services adds valuable perspective to our leadership team, and her contributions will be instrumental as we continue to grow.”
