Nevada Gaming Commission to quiz Wynn

Casino mogul Steve Wynn will face a disciplinary hearing before the Nevada Gaming Commission, reports the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The former CEO of Wynn Resorts will face sexual harassment charges, says the newspaper. Wynn is no longer licensed by the state gaming regulators and has divested all financial connections with the company and therefore believes that he is not subject to its discipline.

The Gaming Commission said in a statement: “At this point, the board is preparing to recommence the action against Mr Wynn. The board maintains that the Nevada Gaming Commission has full authority to decide the proposed regulatory complaint against Mr Wynn.”

A date for the hearing has not been announced. Two years ago the Control Board issued a five-count complaint accusing Wynn of violating state gaming regulations on the operation of gaming establishments by “failing to exercise discretion and sound judgment to prevent incidents that might reflect on the repute of the state.”
