Nevada's gaming regulation, once considered the 'gold standard,' is under scrutiny following a series of money laundering cases and the ongoing investigation into illegal gambling practices in casinos. Recent developments include the sentencing of former casino executive Scott Sibella, which has reignited concerns first sparked 17 years ago when the Treasury Department heightened monitoring of casino cash transactions. The Nevada Gaming Control Board has launched its own investigation, interviewing individuals connected to at least three Strip properties, and other arrests are anticipated. The situation has been exacerbated by a prevailing 'don't ask, don't tell' attitude towards illegal gamblers in casinos, as highlighted by multiple opinion pieces.
