Resorts World Las Vegas Faces Disciplinary Complaint from Nevada Gaming Control Board

Allegations of Patronage by Individuals with Organized Crime Ties

12-Count Complaint Details Damaging Culture

The Nevada Gaming Control Board has filed a 12-count disciplinary complaint against Resorts World Las Vegas, accusing the hotel of fostering a culture that welcomed individuals with ties to organized crime.

According to the complaint, Resorts World failed to implement adequate due diligence measures to prevent individuals with criminal connections from patronizing its facilities.

The complaint also alleges that the hotel's management was aware of the presence of these individuals but failed to take appropriate action.

Disciplinary Action Pending

The disciplinary complaint comes after a months-long investigation by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

The board will now hold a hearing to consider the allegations against Resorts World and determine whether to impose any disciplinary action.

Penalties for violating the Nevada Gaming Control Act can range from fines to revocation of the hotel's gaming license.

Resorts World Denies Allegations

Resorts World has denied the allegations and said it will vigorously defend itself against the charges.

The hotel said it has a strong track record of compliance with all gaming regulations and is committed to maintaining the integrity of its operations.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board's complaint is the latest in a series of investigations into the gambling industry in Las Vegas.

• In 2022, the board fined the Venetian Las Vegas $1 million for failing to prevent money laundering.
• In 2021, the board suspended the gaming license of the Plaza Hotel and Casino for six months after finding that the hotel had engaged in illegal gambling activities.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board is responsible for regulating the gaming industry in Nevada.

The board's mission is to ensure the integrity of the gaming industry and protect the public interest.
