This week, Hard Rock International announced the promotion of Anthony Faranca to president of the Atlantic City location.

This comes at the same time as Joe Lupo, president of Atlantic City’s Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, has been nominated president of the upcoming Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, pending regulatory approval.

He is an experienced casino executive who has worked in a variety of states.

For the Philadelphia native whose professional career began in Atlantic City, this is a moment of culmination. The Cordish Cos. has hired Faranca as vice president and general manager of Live! Casino in Hanover, Maryland, after she previously worked in Las Vegas.
