Ex-Nevada Senator Harry Reid dies

Harry Reid, who served as a US Senator for Nevada from 1987 to 2017, died yesterday aged 82.

American Gaming Association president and CEO Bill Miller said: “From his days as chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission to tenure as Majority Leader, Senator Reid’s impact on Nevada and the gaming industry is unparalleled.

“He was the ultimate gaming champion. I’m grateful for having known the Senator throughout my career in Washington, DC. Without a shadow of a doubt, Senator Reid was one of the sharpest, most effective political minds to ever enter the arena.

“On behalf of the AGA, our condolences to his wife, family and friends. May his memory be a blessing.”
