One of the co-CEOs of Vegas Golden Knights owner William Foley’s Foley Entertainment Group has left the company to oversee a new casino and arena project on Las Vegas Boulevard with the former president of the Las Vegas Raiders.

Randy Morton, who joined Foley nearly a year ago and previously spent 20 years as Bellagio executive, is now president of OVG Las Vegas Hotel & Casino with Oak View Group, which plans to build a $3 billion entertainment complex around a $1 billion, 20,000-seat arena at Las Vegas Boulevard and Blue Diamond Road.

He joins Marc Badain, one of the Raiders executives responsible for relocating the team from Oakland and a key figure in building $2 billion Allegiant Stadium where the Raiders play.
