Study: Few women in gaming leadership roles
By Michael Scott Davidson, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Twenty years ago, Valerie Murzl became Station Casinos’ first female executive to work in corporate offices.
Murzl said the male-dominated leadership welcomed her. But when she became pregnant later that year, she was reminded Las Vegas had a long way to go in bettering conditions for its working women.
Fast forward to 2017, and Murzl says she’s seen some important improvements. Many casino companies have opened in-house child care facilities for employees and have created private spaces for breast-feeding.
But a study published this month shows the industry has to do more to reach gender equality.
