FILE - In this June 24, 2021, photo, visitors crowd the casino during the opening night of the Resorts World Las Vegas hotel-casino in Las Vegas.

While Nevada’s number one industry is gaming and the resorts, entertainment and sports have grown around it.

It’s been an enduring, successful combination because it fits the needs of visitors — but also because of the strong controls and oversight of the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

But some have recently questioned that oversight, as stories about money laundering, not allowing gaming agents in a casino and more have emerged in recent months.

While that’s going on, the Global Gaming Expo came to Las Vegas. It’s a convention where ideas, trends and new gaming gizmos are discussed and put on display.
