LAS VEGAS » The CEO of the Palms hotel-casino in Las Vegas has resigned less than a year after he took the position.

Resort spokesman Alex Acuna said Friday that Daniel Lee left to pursue other business opportunities. Current President Todd Greenberg and other members of the executive team are expected to assume Lee’s duties.

Lee took over management of the off-Strip casino in October. He came after Joseph Magliarditi, who served as CEO for two and a half years.

Lee was previously CEO of Pinnacle Entertainment, and was also CFO of Mirage Resorts.
