Gaming

	Skip Past Menu

The gaming and tourism industry is southern Nevada’s primary economic engine, employing more than 167,000 people and contributing more than $6 billion to the Las Vegas economy. It has been said that for every person directly employed by the gaming industry, 2.5 people are employed in related businesses.

Regulation of gaming must remain a state issue. The Nevada Gaming Commission and the State Gaming Control Board tightly monitor gaming operations in Nevada. This two-tiered system remains the most respected in the world.

As the Congresswoman representing Las Vegas, I work to educate my colleagues in Congress about the effectiveness of our state gaming regulations and the many contributions the gaming and tourism industry makes to southern Nevada. In addition, I am a co-chair of the Congressional Gaming Caucus.
