Outgoing Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval Joins MGM Resorts, Will Focus on Japan
In a statement, Sandoval says Murren has established critical relationships in Japan, and he s looking forward to building them deeper. Expressing an appreciation for the Asian nation s culture, and a commitment to its morals and values are thought to be key areas Japanese lawmakers will consider when reviewing bids.
Along with heading up MGM s global efforts, recently is that of husband. Similarly to his politics to business transition, the governor wasted little time in finding a new spouse after finalizing his divorce in 2018. He married gaming executive Lauralyn McCarthy in August.
Nevada s gaming industry is the gold standard, and looked to by other states that are authorizing or expanding their own relevant laws. Unlike Sandoval, who entered the governor s office in Carson City with vast knowledge of the country s richest gambling state, Sisolak arrives with no experience.
Sisolak will need to appoint two members to the Nevada Gaming Commission (NGC) when chair Becky Harris and member Shawn Reid s terms expire later this month. Reid is retiring, while the governor is expected to reappoint Harris, the first woman to head the NGC.
The governor also chairs the Nevada Gaming Policy Committee, a 12-member group that includes regulators and gaming executives. Sandoval reinstated the panel in 2011 after a more than 30-year hiatus.
One of the members Sandoval appointed was Murren.
