Anthony A. Marnell, III, Chairman and CEO, M Resort
Fear is not a part of Anthony A. Marnell, III’s vocabulary. When it comes to making decisions, his single-minded focus is relentless—he goes “all in.” Las Vegas insiders call him “a visionary,” “the next-generation Vegas player,” and “a new Vegas mogul.” With the opening of his M Resort on March 1, 2009, Anthony is already living up to these titles.
Anthony was on the verge of a professional baseball career as the catcher for the Las Vegas Stars, the AAA team for the San Diego Padres, when a shoulder injury sidelined that dream. But Anthony didn’t let that stop him. He surprised everyone by starting a software company, TRIRIGA, which helps companies manage large real estate holdings and rental portfolios. Although Anthony continues to provide his strategic vision to TRIRIGA as Chairman, it’s the M Resort that has captured his imagination most recently. Teaming up with his father, architecture and construction genius Tony Marnell, on the $1.8 billion project, Anthony continues the family’s longstanding commitment to innovation. With its non-reflective floor-to-ceiling windows, open-air environment, and breathtaking piazza waterfall, they have created a resort destination like no other.
