(US).- Wynn Resorts hired an executive from MGM Resorts International to head a new development division, signaling it wants to build casinos at a faster pace.

Gamal Aziz will serve as president and COO of Wynn Resorts Development. The company, headed by billionaire Stephen Wynn, didn’t provide a start date for Gamal’s appointment.

“Our activities in North America and Cotai require that the company expand its leadership,” Wynn said in the statement. Gamal “will give us a tremendous boost as we begin 2013,” the Las Vegas-based company said.

Wynn Resorts has submitted a proposal for a casino in Philadelphia and is expected to pursue one in Massachusetts after abandoning its first site there last year, according to Michael Weaver, a company spokesman.

Aziz headed a division at MGM that pursued hotel developments around the world since 2007. Earlier, he worked with Stephen Wynn at what was then called Mirage Resorts.
