He was appointed CFO in 2006 and led the M&A charge for Horseshoe Gaming, the World Series of Poker, Caesars Entertainment and London Clubs International.

Halkyard joined Extended Stay America as COO in 2013, focused on streamlining operations across 680 properties before being names interim CFO in 2014 and CFO in 2015. He was later appointed CEO in 2017.

Halkyard is a Director of Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Director of Shift4 Payments, Inc and is a Trustee of the International Center for Responsible Gaming. He holds his M.B.A. from Harvard University and his B.A. from Colgate University.

“After a career largely spent in hospitality and gaming, I am excited and proud to become part of the senior leadership team at one of the world’s most iconic gaming, hospitality and entertainment destination brands,” said Halkyard.

“We face the greatest challenges to corporate management in recent history and I am eager to get to work and continue the fine legacy of executive management at MGM Resorts.”
