Fontainebleau Las Vegas’ new leader will have to go through a licensing process with state regulators.
Nevada Gaming Control Board officials said Monday that Maurice Wooden — named the resort’s president on Sunday by Fontainebleau Development, operators of the newly opened north Strip property — will come in front of gaming regulators as a key executive or employee. But the lengthy licensing process may not make it to a public agenda for several months, and Wooden can continue working all the while.
Wooden, a 36-year gaming and hospitality veteran, is best known for leading Wynn Las Vegas between 2013 and 2019. He also served as a member of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
