The Nevada Gaming Control Board has proposed a $10.5 million fine against Resorts World Las Vegas following a disciplinary complaint filed on August 15, 2024. The complaint relates to "unsuitable methods of operation" involving illegal bookmakers Michael Bowyer and Damien LeForbes. If approved, it would be the second-highest fine in Nevada’s gaming history, according to KTNV and News 3 LV.

A proposed settlement has been reached to address issues at Resorts World Las Vegas, which includes a large fine that will go into Nevada's General Fund and changes to the casino's executive leadership. This follows the actions of Bowyer and LeForbes, who operated an unauthorized bookmaking business involving Ippei Mizuhara, who stole nearly $17 million to cover gambling debts and failed to report his gambling earnings to the IRS, as reported by KTNV. Bowyer is awaiting sentencing, while LeForbes will be tried later this year. The Nevada Gaming Control Board is also focusing on improvements to the casino's anti-money laundering programs. Both Bowyer and LeForbes have admitted to underreporting their gambling income.

Scott Sibella, the former president of Resorts World Las Vegas, was removed from his position for breaching company policies and violating federal anti-money laundering regulations. He pled guilty in a separate money laundering case and was sentenced to one year of probation and a $9,500 fine. The Nevada Gaming Control Board is seeking punitive measures and leadership changes at Resorts World. The proposed settlement will be reviewed by the Nevada Gaming Commission on March 27, and Resorts World Las Vegas has not commented publicly, as mentioned by KTNV.
