Nevada Gaming Board denies records order in George case
The Nevada Gaming Commission rejected a request to compel the Gaming Control Board to release investigative records used to challenge John George’s 25 percent stake in the Valley Inn Mesquite. The panel set a hearing next month but refused to subpoena the board’s file, citing potential harm to others and lack of right to access records. The commission also approved Louis Chartrand as temporary representative of his son Richard’s estate following a Lake Tahoe bombing death, and granted multiple licenses and managerial appointments across several Nevada establishments.
