LAS VEGAS - A former chief executive of casino operator MGM Mirage has been diagnosed with cancer.

MGM Mirage said Tuesday that Terrence Lanni requires treatment, including chemotherapy and possibly surgery. Lanni retired last year after more than 13 years leading the Las Vegas-based company.

MGM Mirage CEO Jim Murren says Lanni's "spirits are strong."

More details about the diagnosis are not immediately available.

Lanni first disclosed his illness to casino industry newsletter Gaming Today. The longtime casino executive led MGM Mirage from a one-casino operation to its current state as the largest operator on the Las Vegas Strip.

Immediately after announcing his retirement, Lanni faced questions about whether he misrepresented his academic credentials.
