The Eldorado announces management changes

Eldorado Resorts, Inc., announced earlier this month that chief operating officer, Joseph Billhimer, left the company effective January 5. Billhimer’s responsibilities will be assumed by other members of the company’s senior management team, including Chairman and CEO Gary Carano.

“We thank Joe for his contributions to Eldorado Resorts and wish him the best in the future,” Carano said.

Additionally, Chief Financial Officer Bob Jones announced his intention to retire, effective March 15. Tom Reeg, president of Eldorado Resorts Inc., will assume the additional title and responsibilities of chief financial officer upon Jones’ retirement. Stephanie Lepori, the company’s senior vice president of finance, was promoted to chief accounting officer as of Jan. 1.

“Bob has been instrumental helping Eldorado Resorts transform from a small, family-owned business with one property in Reno, into a diversified public gaming company with seven properties in five states,” Carano said. “We thank him for his 30 years of service and wish him well in his retirement.”
