All casino gaming in Nevada is regulated and controlled by the Nevada Gaming Commission except for four, small Indian gaming operations.
In 2021 three major Native American tribes came to Las Vegas to operate state-licensed casinos (not indian gaming casinos).
Mohegan Tribe (Connecticut)
The best known is the Mohegan Sun Casino at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. It is not an Indian gaming casino, it is a state-licensed casino managed by the Mohegan Tribe (Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment).
See: Mohegan Sun Casino at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
San Manual Tribe (California)
Another out-of-state tribe is purchasing the Palm Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The transaction was approved by the Nevada gaming Commission on Dec 17, 2021. The Palms Casino Resort will be reopened in the spring of 2022 by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, owners of the Yaamava' Resort Casino in Highland, California. The Yaamava' is the largest casino resort west of Las Vegas.
See: Palm Casino Resort.
Seminole Tribe of Florida
The Seminoles own Hard Rock International which is buying The Mirage Hotel and Casino. The sale should be finalized in the second half of 2022, after which the property will be rebranded as "Hard Rock Las Vegas".
See: Hard Rock Las Vegas.
Only two of Nevada's 32 tribes operate casinos. The Moapa Band of Paiutes own the Moapa Paiute Travel Plaza located 30 miles north of Las Vegas on I-15, and the Washoe Tribe owns the Wa She Shu Casino & Travel Plaza located 16 miles south of Carson City. A California tribe, the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe in Needles, CA, owns a casino in Laughlin, NV named Avi Resort & Casino.
