The Nevada Gaming Commission will meet at 10 a.m., Thursday at Las Vegas City Hall as the Nevada Gaming Control Board slowly transitions from the Grant Sawyer State Office Building to its new home near Harry Reid International Airport.
Control Board Chairman Kirk Hendrick said at the end of August’s Control Board meeting that he hopes a fitting tribute to Sawyer can be made to remember his contribution to Nevada’s gaming regulatory system.
The state office building is closing this summer after years of complaints about the nearly three-decade-old building.
“This particular building was named after Gov. Grant Sawyer, who was actually a pioneer in modern gaming,” Hendrick said at the conclusion of the board’s Aug. 7 meeting. “He’s often referred to as the father of modern gaming and what he did 65 years ago in creating the Nevada Gaming Commission and the two-tiered system lives on today. I still believe it’s the best gaming system in the world and I would hope as we leave this building, that I would hope that the state would find another way to honor Grant Sawyer, former governor, and find another way to put his name on a building or something suitable.”
Hendrick noted that Sawyer has a Southern Nevada middle school named for him and another building in Northern Nevada bears his name.
Control Board offices already have moved to the new campus at The McCarran Center near Warm Springs Road and Amigo Street. The state complex includes 18 buildings, each named for a Nevada county and the state. The Control Board is based on two floors of the Washoe Building, 7 State of Nevada Way. But officials haven’t determined where Control Board and Gaming Commission meetings will be conducted.
“The board has had its own hearing room at least since the 1980s on Maryland Parkway,” Hendrick said. “This will be the first time the Gaming Control Board doesn’t have its own (hearing) room. We are looking forward to the new rooms that we will be sharing over on the new Southern Nevada campus and we will keep the public apprised of that.”
Kendrick said it’s possible regulatory meetings and workshops would be conducted at municipality council chambers or at Clark County until a meeting space is ready to permanently occupy.

EDITORIAL: Green grift costs Nevada taxpayers millions

NZero just joined Solyndra in the green energy hall of shame.
In 2021, Nevada elected officials heralded NZero, which was then named Ledger8760. The company said it would help governments track their carbon emissions in real time. Reno and Washoe County officials and even then-Gov. Steve Sisolak held a news conference to announce their partnership with the company.
“This is how we fight climate change and protect our state,” Gov. Sisolak said.
“We get to be the city, the county and the state that lead the way into a new day and a new era,” Bob Lucey, then chair of the Washoe County Commission.
Nope. Instead, they became the latest — but surely not the last — politicians duped by well-connected lobbyists selling green-tinged snake oil. As a recent ProPublica investigation exposed, the company didn’t deliver what it promised despite scoring government contracts worth $5.7 million.
“Their software didn’t do what they said it was going to do,” Robin Yochum, a former programs manager at the Governor’s Office of Energy, told ProPublica.
One problem was that NZero struggled to get information from utilities, such as NV Energy and Southwest Gas. The information it did provide was dated. These are the types of hurdles officials should have ironed out before handing the company lucrative contracts.
“I did not recall the program providing us with any more detailed information above what we already generate ourselves,” the energy manager for state public works wrote in a 2023 email.
But NZero had a secret weapon. Among its founders were powerful lobbyists, such as Josh Griffin. Its leadership included lobbyists who successfully worked for Uber, Tesla and the NFL’s Raiders.
With relationships like that, the results hardly mattered. Yvanna Cancela, then-working as Mr. Sisolak’s chief of staff, investigated ways to get the company a “$5 million contract without a competitive process,” ProPublica reported. When Ms. Yochum objected, she said she was told, ‘We have to do this. The governor’s office wants to do it, we are going to do it.’ ”
It gets worse. It’s unlikely real-time emissions data is the best use of funding. In 2009, the state came up with a list of 2,000 energy efficiency projects. More than a decade later, many of them haven’t been funded and completed.
If politicians want to reduce carbon emissions, that’s where they should have put the funding that went to NZero.
But as this story shows, the greenest thing about green energy is often the money raked in by the politically well connected.

Nevada bandit with scary full-face tattoo among 3 busted for armed robbery after 4-hour standoff: cops

Stagecoach robbers don’t look like they used to.
A trio of alleged Nevada bandits are behind bars after an armed robbery — including one with a frightening full-face tattoo that could cower the wildest desperado in the West.
The suspects were busted Saturday in Stagecoach — a community in western Nevada, not the Old West’s preferred means of travel and trade — after a man was robbed at gunpoint by two other men at a house off Apache Drive.
Cops arrived at the home but the armed suspects barricaded themselves inside, and a four-hour standoff ensued, according to the Lyon County Sheriff’s office.
Eventually, police determined that five people were involved in the robbery, and after obtaining a search warrant were able to safely enter the home.
Three suspects were removed — including the face-tattooed Wynn Kiven Satterlee II, 26, who has a prior felony conviction.
She was charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery with a deadly weapon, and ex-felon in possession of a firearm.
Suspects Candace Ashley Hughes, 34, and Hailey Marie Grow, 24, were also charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery with a deadly weapon.
They all remain held on bail.
The two other suspects believed to be involved in the robbery are at large.
