Nevada Gaming Control Board complaints issued in response to the recent anti-money laundering scandal in Las Vegas vaguely refer to countless casino employees whose behavior contributed to problems on the Strip: Wynn employees acting with the approval of their supervisors who conspired to circumvent the financial system, Caesars staff that failed to properly scrutinize bookie Mathew Bowyer’s source of funds, etc.

But the complaints also document the actions of at least 15 specific employees at Resorts World, the MGM Grand, The Cosmopolitan, The Venetian, and the Wynn who appear to have violated or contributed to violations of AML standards. Those include hosts who referred clients to bookies.
