A major figure in the growth and corporate culture of modern Las Vegas casino companies.
Growth and leadership
The Review-Journal’s 2011 remembrance describes Lanni’s leadership as MGM expanded from a single casino into a multiresort company. It places his work within the industry’s corporate transformation. [2]
An institutional legacy
MGM’s 2011 annual report remembers Lanni, who died that year, and credits his leadership of the company’s diversity initiative. The company’s remembrance is an institutional perspective, complemented by contemporary newspaper coverage. [1]
