I found this to be quite interesting. His interest in becoming liason between the industry and the government is for all people from gamer to casino employee.
Quote:
Townsend said he hopes to emphasize how important the gaming regulatory process is to the state.
“Here is a segment of government that is the essence of how we pay for mental health, education and some of these other services, and it has to be done in a manner that requires manpower, expertise and a tremendous amount of diligence,” Townsend said after the meeting.
“This is serious stuff. This is at a level of overcoming the old days, getting us to a level where every (casino) player feels confident they have a chance to beat the house — that perception matches reality, that it encourages — because we have the best skilled management in the world, the best employees in the world and the best service in the world, and it encourages investors to come into this market and put money into the market so we can upgrade facilities and be on the cutting edge of technology.”

Townsends experience as a former senator will allow him to speak the language of the government while meeting the needs of the people of Las Vegas. Nice to see someone concerned for all of the people not just some of them.
