Sam promoted to casino GM
Mille Lacs Corporate Ventures, owner and operator of Grand Casino Mille Lacs and Grand Casino Hinckley, announced the promotion of Tracy Sam to general manager of Grand Casino Mille Lacs. In her new role, she will be responsible for the overall day-to-day operations of the property.
“For years I’ve honed my skills while helping Grand Casino Mille Lacs become the premiere gaming and entertainment destination in Greater Minnesota,” Sam said. “I am excited to put my experience and energy to work every day to continue to improve operations at the casino while also contributing to the overall mission of profitability and growth for Mille Lacs Corporate Ventures.”
Sam has a long history with Grand Casino Mille Lacs. In fact, she has been involved since the groundbreaking – from the long hours of construction and floor planning, to the first job fairs in rural communities to hire Grand Casino Associates in 1991.
“Tracy brings with her invaluable experience of the gaming industry,” said Joseph Nayquonabe, CEO of Mille Lacs Corporate Ventures. “We are excited to have her at the helm of our Mille Lacs property. She will provide a fresh perspective and new ideas, which will assist us in enhancing the guest experience.”
In 1992, Sam took a brief hiatus from Grand Casino Mille Lacs to work for the Mille Lacs Band, where she gained a wealth of knowledge working for human resources, and later with the chief executive on tribal government operations.
In December 2003, Sam returned to Grand Casino Mille Lacs as the assistant general manager, where she assisted in overseeing the entire gaming operation of Grand Casino Mille Lacs. Most recently, she served as the corporate vice president of human resources for Mille Lacs Corporate Ventures.
Sam began her new role on Feb. 23.
