}}Gamal Aziz, also known as Gamal Mohammed Abdelaziz, (born {{birth based on age as of date|44|2002|6|18|noage=1|mos=1}}) is an Egyptian-American businessman. Aziz is the former President of Wynn Macau Limited and Chief Operating Officer of Wynn Resorts Development. He was also the former CEO of MGM Resorts International.[2][1][3] In March 2019, Aziz and others were named in a criminal complaint and filed by the U.S. Justice Department, and charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud, as part of the 2019 college admissions bribery scandal.[4]

Career

Aziz was born in Egypt, grew up in Cairo, Egypt, and resides in Las Vegas, Nevada.[5][1][4] He earned a bachelor's degree in business at the University of Cairo.[5]

He held senior executive positions at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, the Plaza Hotel in New York City, the Westin Hotel in Washington, D.C., and the St. Francis in San Francisco.[2][6]

Aziz helped Steve Wynn open the Bellagio, the most expensive US hotel ever built, as that hotel’s Senior Vice President, a post he held from 1998-2000.[6] He oversaw the food division.[5][7]

Aziz was next President and Chief Operating Officer of the 5,000-room, 10,000-employee resort MGM Grand, the largest hotel by rooms in the US, joining it in 2001.[8][2][6][5][9][10][11] He was then President and Chief Operating Officer of MGM Resorts International, and then MGM Hospitality in September 2010.[2][6][12] In that position he helped finalize 27 hotel projects in leisure markets around the world.[2][13]

In January 2013 Aziz was appointed President and Chief Operating Officer of Wynn Resorts Development LLC, overseeing expansion opportunities.[13][2][14] He next became President of Wynn Macau, Ltd., reporting directly to Wynn.[6] In December 2015 Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL), a hotel and hospitality school, appointed him to its International Advisory Board.[15] He resigned in September 2016 as President and as a Board member of Wynn Macau.[16]

As of March 2019, Aziz is chairman and CEO of Legacy Hospitality Group since January 2017, according to his LinkedIn page.[13][7][17]

Fraud charges

Aziz, along with 50 individuals including 33 other parents,[18] was named in a criminal complaint filed by the U.S. Justice Department for his alleged involvement in the 2019 college admissions bribery scandal which included charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.[13][4]

Aziz was accused of federal charges which included donating $300,000 to a college consulting nonprofit in order to facilitate the falsification of his daughter's athletic honors as well as a false athletic profile. These actions may have contributed to his daughters acceptance into the University of Southern California (USC) as a basketball recruit.[5][7][8] Aziz's daughter entered USC in the fall of 2018 and has not joined the basketball team.[13][5][7][8]

Aziz appeared before a United States magistrate judge in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas on 12 March 2019 and was released on his own recognizance.[19] Aziz was ordered to appear on 29 March 2019, in U.S. District Court in Boston.[13] On March 29, 2019 Gamal Aziz appeared in court. His attorney Brian Kelley said they intend to fight the allegations and stated to the press "we maintain it is a weak case," and that the government's case hinges on a "deeply compromised" witness.[20][21]
