On a combined basis, these two properties feature 2,535 guest rooms, 138,000 square feet of casino space, 2,224 slot machines and 72 gaming tables on a combined 57 acres of land along the Colorado River.
Anthony Marnell III is the Chairman and CEO of M Resorts. Marnell and his management team are partnered with Sher Gaming, LLC, led by Ed Sher, on this transaction.

Further information on the Marnell-led group can be obtained from Greg Wells, President of Austi LLC, at 702-739-2000.
