It was apparent pretty quickly that the company over-shot Marshmello’s value to Kaos, currently dark as the ballyhooed Kaos Dome is installed in time for Cardi B’s “Demon Dome” Halloween party. Gray was one of several high-level executives, including the resort owners, who signed off on the deal. Gray’s departure lined up with the collapse of the Palms’ relationship with the superstar DJ Marshmello at Kaos Nightclub and Dayclub, a two-year agreement worth a reported $60 million. Gray had spent a little less than two years running the Palms in what grew to a $690 million, property-wide renovation when the company announced Tuesday he was leaving the resort. But certainly, no binding deals were agreed during this session. “We are friends, and we’ve agreed to have dinner soon and they have invited me to the Billy Idol shows this weekend (at Pearl Concert Theater), I’m invited to work out in the corporate gym (chuckles). “We had conversations about what might happen down the road, looking at this like a fork in the road and focusing on the things I want to do,” Gray said Thursday afternoon. The trio discussed Gray’s future over drinks Wednesday night in a largely social setting at the Fertittas’ Station Casinos Corporate Offices in Summerin.

Two days after leaving his post as vice president and general manager of the Palms, Gray remains in an open dialogue with resort owners Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta III. Jon Gray has left the property, but he’s not locked out. Dana White, Frank Fertitta III, Lorenzo Fertitta and Ari Emanual are shown at Empathy Suite's opening party at the Palms on Friday, March 1, 2019.
