A Las Vegas Strip casino has until next week to formally respond to a multi-count disciplinary complaint filed against the property this summer by state gaming regulators.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board granted a request from Resorts World Las Vegas for an extension to file a response to the 12-count complaint the regulatory agency released in August. The NGCB alleges that Resorts World failed to adhere to anti-money laundering provisions and allowed individuals with known or suspected ties to illegal gambling activities to play with impunity at the property.

Genting Berhad, the Malaysian-based owner and operator of Resorts World Las Vegas, noted in a quarterly earnings report released last week that the company had a Dec. 9 deadline to file a formal response.
