M Resort appoints Jody Lake as general manager

Former Station Casinos executive Jody Lake was named general manager of the M Resort.

Lake will oversee day-to-day operations of the 16-month-old hotel-casino in Henderson.

Lake previously served as the assistant general manager and general manager of the company’s Boulder Station, Palace Station and Texas Station resorts.

“With his wealth of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm, Jody brings a new perspective and fresh ideas that will serve to strengthen our brand, resort and team members,” M Resort Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Anthony Marnell III said in a statement.

Lake began his gaming career with Las Vegas-based Ameristar Casinos as an analyst at the Reserve (now Fiesta Henderson) in 1998. Following the sale of The Reserve to Station Casinos in 2001, Lake remained with Ameristar in various corporate positions.

Lake spent several years with Ameristar properties in Missouri, Iowa, and Mississippi.
