Before the pandemic, Station Casinos sunk almost $500 million into renovating the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. Following the pandemic, the Palms did not reopen immediately and Station sold the property to the San Manuel tribe of California. The tribe quickly hired Las Vegas veteran Cynthia Kiser Murphey to be general manager and used its California database at the Yaamava casino to attract players to Las Vegas. The result has been one of the most successful standalone casinos in Sin City and a company along with employees who are dedicated to its success and its role in the community. Kiser Murphey spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at a suite in the Palms in January.
