Hard Rock International has appointed Jon Lucas as the new executive vice president of hotel and casino operations. Lucas was previously the president of Hard Rock Rocksino in Northfield Park, Ohio. The 30-year hospitality veteran turned the Rocksino into a dominating market share leader in Ohio and will now be paramount to the brand’s total transition to a full-service hotel and casino management company.
“Jon Lucas is a seasoned executive with the proven unique ability to see operations from both the brand and operators point of view,” says Hamish Dodds, Hard Rock’s CEO. “We look forward to seeing our business continue to grow under his leadership.”
Before joining Hard Rock, Lucas spent four years as regional president at Caesars Entertainment, where he was responsible for the oversight of three properties, as well as six years as president and general manager of the IP Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.
