Mario Maesano
Maesano has built a distinguished career in casino marketing and resort development, holding senior leadership roles across the industry. Known for consistently exceeding revenue goals, he played a key role in the development and opening of 10 luxury resorts while also leading successful turnarounds of underperforming properties.

A native of southern New Jersey, Maesano began his gaming career in 1991 at Resorts International, where he first developed his expertise in casino operations and marketing. Over the years, his results-driven leadership and ability to build high-performing teams earned him successive promotions and expanded responsibilities.

“I’m honored to join American Place Casino and become part of a team that has already built such a strong culture and achieved so much together. The foundation that’s been created here, a tight-knit, high-performing group with a clear commitment to guests and to one another, is something I deeply respect. My goal is not to change what makes this property special, but to support and strengthen the environment that has driven its success while helping position the team for the next phase of growth,” said Maesano.
Throughout his career, Maesano has emphasized a leadership philosophy that centered on collaboration, visibility, and team empowerment.
“Great results come from teams that feel valued, aligned, and proud of what they’re building together,” said Maesano. “I believe in listening first, building trust, and empowering people to do their best work. I look forward to working alongside everyone at American Place to continue that momentum.”
