- Michael J. Malik, Sr. (born February 1954) is a developer and entrepreneur from Detroit, Michigan who resides in Birmingham, Michigan. Since the early 1990s he and his partner Marian Ilitch have been catalysts for legalization of gambling and development of gambling halls from coast to coast and in Hawaii with mixed results. Among them: casinos for Michigan's Little River Band of Ottawa Indians in Manistee; and the Bay Mills Indian Community in Brimley and a proposed off-reservation casino in Port Huron; several failed attempts to legalize gambling in the State of Hawaii and develop casinos on Waikīkī Beach; a planned casino resort on Long Island, New York in the Town of Southampton (often referred to as The Hamptons) as "Gateway Casino Resorts, LLC" partnered with the Shinnecock Indians; and as Barwest, LLC, partners with the Big Lagoon Rancheria Indians and the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Mission Indians to develop proposed dual off-reservation casinos in Barstow, California. In 1996, after several other failed attempts to legalize commercial gaming in Detroit, Malik and another partner, Thomas Celani, bankrolled the campaign urging passage of Michigan Proposal E, the statewide ballot measure that legalized commercial gaming and permitted development of three commercial casinos in Detroit (according to disclosure documents they contributed $5 million plus under Z.R.X. LLC, a "syndicate" they formed which would also include Ilitch Family interests). In subsequent partnership documents and Operating Agreements signed six months after the election and filed with the SEC, their new Las Vegas-based development partner, Circus Circus Enterprises (later named Circus Circus Michigan a subsidiary of Mandalay Resort Group), agreed to reimburse Malik, Celani and other local individuals in consideration for the costs they advanced to qualify and win voter approval of Proposal E.
