A new member to join Nevada Gaming Commission

Gibbons’ announcement was: “The Nevada Gaming Commission plays such a vital role in our largest industry". He said: "I am pleased Dr. Alamo has accepted the position and I am certain Nevada will benefit from his business experience and knowledge."

"I am filled with pride to once again serve the State and I am pleased that Governor Gibbons possesses the confidence in my ability to contribute to the Nevada Gaming Commission," Dr. Alamo said, "I will work hard to succeed and serve the people of Nevada."

Nevada’s gaming regulation organizations are the most respected in the world and Alamo’s addition to the Nevada Gaming Commission will enhance its integrity.
