GLOBAL GAMING BUSINESS PODCAST: Kevin Kelley, Chief Operating Officer, Galaxy Entertainment

This week the GGB Podcast features a discussion with Kevin Kelley, the chief operating officer for Galaxy Entertainment, and his new role with one of the leading operators in Macau.

Kevin Kelley is back in Macau for the second time. The first time, he helped to run the huge Venetian hotel and casino in Macau for Sands China. Then came his second stint with Station Casinos in Las Vegas, where he was COO. This time, he’s working for one of the Chinese companies, Galaxy Entertainment, which has proven to be one of the more successful operators in Macau. With two phases of its Galaxy flagship up and running, Kelley is getting up to speed again on the changing market and the increasing emphasis on the mass market. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros from his offices at Galaxy in December.
