The new president of MGM Springfield comes in with nine years of experience working for the casino company and brings a wealth of knowledge about legal and regulatory issues.

MGM Resorts International on Wednesday confirmed Louie Theros has been appointed as president and chief operating officer of the downtown casino, replacing Chris Kelley who announced in November that he would be leaving to be closer to family who live on the west coast and will be pursuing new career opportunities.

“We’re thrilled to have Louie leading the charge at MGM Springfield,” said Steve Zanella, MGM Resorts Operations president. “Louie brings more than 30 years of leadership, legal, and regulatory experience to the property and has a strong vision to continue to drive growth throughout both the city of Springfield and the larger region.”
