(US).- Longtime gaming industry executive Dan Wade has been named president and chief operating officer of the Tropicana Las Vegas. In a filing last week with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Tropicana officials announced the hiring.

Wade had several positions with MGM Grand and MGM Mirage between 1999 and 2006, including vice chairman. The company is now known as MGM Resorts International.

He most recently served as the COO of the company that had been planning to build a version of New York's Plaza Hotel on the site of the since demolished New Frontier.
