Las Vegas attorney Rosa Solis-Rainey has been appointed to the Nevada Gaming Commission.
She replaces Sandra Douglass Morgan, who left the commission in January to become chair of the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
The move brings the regulatory agency up to four members, still one shy of its full complement of five, and Gov. Steve Sisolak has yet to name a replacement for Philip Pro, the former federal judge who retired last month at the end of his fourth term.
Solis-Rainey is a managing partner with Las Vegas-based Morris Law Group, which she joined in 2006. Previously, she practiced commercial litigation and administrative/gaming law at Lionel Sawyer & Collins. She also spent nearly 12 years at Boyd Gaming, where she served as the director of internal audit, director of regulatory compliance and as a member of the board of directors’ audit and compliance committees.
She holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and was a member of the first class to graduate UNLV’s William S. Boyd School of Law.
“Rosa is a highly experienced litigator who has been involved in some of the state’s most complex legal issues over the past 18 years,” Sisolak said. “I am confident she’ll make an outstanding addition to the Nevada Gaming Commission and support its mission of keeping Nevada the gold standard in gaming regulation.”
