The boards of Las Vegas’ biggest casino companies count few minorities among their directors, despite initiatives to increase diversity.
Of the 53 directors on the boards of the top six gaming companies – MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment, Wynn Resorts, Las Vegas Sands, Red Rock Resorts and Boyd Gaming – six are people of color.
Close to 70% of the directors are white men. Four directors are Black: Darnell Strom of Wynn Resorts, John Bailey of Boyd Gaming and Rose McKinney-James and Alexis Herman of MGM Resorts.
While large companies have put more emphasis on diversity in the past decade, more work remains, McKinney-James said.
