Gaming regulators create opening between pot, casinos
By Richard N. Velotta, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Can a gaming licensee lease a building from a businessman who also rents to someone in the marijuana business?
Yes, the Nevada Gaming Commission unanimously determined Thursday.
In what was the first case in which regulators had to make a determination of whether a gaming licensee was too closely aligned with the marijuana business since industry policy makers clarified the issue earlier this year, commissioners voted unanimously to support a license for Apollo Coin Corp. for The Lodge at St. Rose.
