Lanni, 68, who died of cancer on July 14, spent 18 years as the president of Caesars World. He joined the then-MGM Grand Corp., where he built the company from one casino into a 17-resort conglomerate with properties in four states and Macau over a 13-year period.

The company is now known as MGM Resorts International.

A memorial service for Lanni was held July 22 in South Pasadena, Calif.
