LAS VEGAS, Nevada — NHL Golden Knights owner Bill Foley has named veteran hotel executive Shane Green as chief executive officer of his Foley Entertainment Group, which includes Foley’s vast global portfolio of sports teams, facilities, wineries and hospitality sites.
In a press release, Foley was quoted as saying, “His energy and passion will help us elevate the guest experience across our entire portfolio, whether at one of our hotels, winery tasting rooms or live events. Shane’s background and leadership will be invaluable in advancing FEG’s aspirational mission of becoming the preeminent sports, hospitality and experience entity in the world.”
Foley’s business interests stretch from the Lee’s Family Forum in Henderson where his minor league hockey team, the Silver Knights, plays, to his Premier League team, AFC Bournemouth, in England to his hotels and restaurants in California.
As CEO, Green will oversee the business operations of everything here in the U.S. to Foley’s worldwide assets and properties like the Auckland FC soccer team in New Zealand.
The Foley press release said Green has lived in Las Vegas since 2007. He helped open the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in 2010, transform the Monte Carlo into the Park MGM in 2018, and helped open the Fontainebleau on Las Vegas Boulevard and the off-Strip Durango Casino and Resort in 2023, the release said.
Internationally, Green was recently involved with Robertson Lodges in New Zealand and EVT hotels in Australia. He also helped the AREV Collection open its first property in St. Tropez, France, earlier this year.
A New Zealand native, Green draws upon his work with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, his time running luxury resorts and hotels in Australia and the United States, his work as VP of Operations for Cipriani, and his consulting work for many Las Vegas hotels to formulate his approach to hospitality and business success.
