Fiumara, who most recently served as general manager of the SLS Las Vegas, will oversee the day-to-day management of the iconic Las Vegas Boulevard resort.
Since 2003, Fiumara has served as general manager or assistant general manager for several Las Vegas-area resorts, including the Palace Station, Santa Fe Station, Sunset Station and Texas Station. He spent nearly a year as general manager of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Lake Tahoe before joining the SLS in December 2015.
In all his resort management positions, Fiumara oversaw operations, as well as renovations and development efforts at the various properties.

During his career, Fiumara participated in the openings of several hotel casino properties, including resorts in Nevada, California and Missouri. Fiumara’s initial gaming experience began with the Claridge Casino & Hotel in Atlantic City in 1988. He joined Station Casinos in 1996 and had roles in planning and operations development.
