Melco Resorts & Entertainment has named former Wynn Palace and Atlantis Dubai executive Tim Kelly as Property President of City of Dreams Macau.
The announcement was made by Melco Chairman and CEO Lawrence Ho during the company’s 1Q24 results announcement late Tuesday, who said Kelly has “a unique blend of skills and experience that we believe positions him perfectly to lead this next chapter of City of Dreams, and I would like to welcome him to the Melco family.”
Kelly’s appointment follows the recent departure of David Sisk and a subsequent restructuring of Melco’s Macau team, which included the addition of Alidad Tash as Executive Vice President of Analytics and Gaming Operations for Macau, Stefan Bollhalder as Vice President of Hotels and Food & Beverage for City of Dreams Macau, and Linda Switzer as Vice President of Retail.
Kelly, who began his integrated resort career at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, previously spent almost four-and-a-half years in Macau as Senior Vice President of Resort Operations at Wynn Macau Ltd between 2013 and 2017 before joining Kerzner International where he spent six years overseeing Atlantis Dubai.
He was last year promoted to President of Atlantis for Kerzner International, which placed him in charge of Atlantis resorts in Dubai and Sanya, China.
Ho noted during Melco’s earnings call that Kelly had “achieved great success in building the Atlantis brand since joining them in 2017.”
