In Business Q and A
In Business Q and A Jim Murren, President and COO of MGM Mirage Interviewed by Richard Velotta / Staff Writer Jim Murren's promotion to president and chief operating officer of MGM Mirage didn't get much attention when it occurred last summer. That's because, at the time, the company was in the midst of so much other news that overshadowed the announcement: A deal with Dubai World that places half of the ownership of Project CityCenter in the hands of a foreign investor; another with Sol Kerzner, whose spectacular Atlantis project in the Bahamas is considered one of the premier resorts in the world, to design a Jim Murren is president and project with MGM Mirage on a site at Las Vegas Boulevard and chief operating officer of MGM Sahara Avenue; and the opening of a new casino resort in Mirage. Detroit. Photo by Steve Marcus And Murren, who joined the company in 1998, has been involved in all of them. He started with the company as executive vice president and chief financial officer after a 14-year Wall Street career. In 1999, he was named president and chief financial officer, and he is a member of MGM Mirage's board of directors and its executive committee. A strong believer in philanthropy, Murren and his wife, Heather, founded the Nevada Cancer Institute, a nonprofit institution dedicated to providing a cancer center for the state. He also serves as a trustee for foundations at the University of Nevada, Reno, and UNLV. Murren talked with In Business Las Vegas about several of his company's recent deals, progress at CityCenter and why he's frustrated with some of the community's problems — and the people who feel gaming taxes should be raised to solve them.
