Arthur “Art” Marshall, a giant in the retail clothing industry and in banking and a commissioner on the Nevada Gaming Commission for more than a decade, has died.
Marshall, 93, was the co-founder with his brother-in-law of the Marshall-Rousso chain with stores up and down the Strip. His family said he died Monday.
He also served on the Gaming Commission from 1997-2009.
“When I was a deputy attorney general, Art was on the commission and was always such a great gentleman, one of the real class acts of Nevada,” Gaming Control Board Chairman Kirk Hendrick said at Wednesday’s board meeting. “He always came prepared and I don’t think there was ever a commission meeting that Art Marshall wasn’t smiling from the beginning of the meeting to the end of the meeting,” he said.
