Former Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval has been named to the board of directors of Resorts World Las Vegas.
The announcement made by the Strip resort Monday cited Sandoval’s “distinguished career in public service, coupled with his deep understanding of Nevada’s gaming landscape.”
“Governor Sandoval’s leadership, vision, and extensive experience in both government and the gaming industry make him an extraordinary addition to our team,” said Alex Dixon, CEO of Resorts World Las Vegas. “His appointment accelerates the property’s growth strategy.”
Sandoval joins board Chairman Jim Murren and directors A.G. Burnett, Michelle DiTondo, and Tan Kong Han on the board.
“To fully capitalize on the unique position Resorts World holds at the north end of the Strip,” Murren said, “we need strong leaders. Brian Sandoval brings the expertise and energy necessary to elevate the property to the next level.”
Sandoval served as Nevada’s 30th governor from 2011 to 2019, during which he focused on economic growth, education reform, and innovation in the state. Prior to his governorship, Sandoval held several prominent positions, including federal court judge, attorney general of Nevada, and chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission.
Resorts World said in its statement that Sandoval’s tenure on the Gaming Commission gives him a unique perspective on the regulatory and operational aspects of the industry.
“I’m honored to join the board at Resorts World,” Sandoval said. “This organization has redefined hospitality on the Vegas Strip through its unwavering commitment to deliver exceptional guest experiences.”
