Nevada board recommends MGM CEO Bill Hornbuckle for licensing approval

Licences & markets

MGM Resorts International chief executive Bill Hornbuckle told the Nevada Gaming Control Board that negative coverage of Las Vegas was misplaced, while noting differences between luxury and value demand. The board recommended approval in his licensing process; the Nevada Gaming Commission was due to consider it later in October.

The board’s recommendation advances Hornbuckle’s Nevada licensing process, with commission consideration still due.
