In this episode, we sit down with Virginia Valentine, president and CEO of the Nevada Resort Association, to talk about Las Vegas’ tourism slump, the state’s fight against prediction markets and all the other developments the association is tracking.

Virginia Valentine has led the Nevada Resort Association, one of the state’s most influential interest groups, for nearly 15 years now. This year, however, was unique in Valentine’s tenure due to a litany of developments that impacted the Silver State’s gaming industry. From the defeat of another lottery proposal to a high-stakes lawsuit involving prediction markets, 2025 was a busy year for the association and its members. Valentine spoke with iGB US News Editor Jess Marquez in Las Vegas at October’s G2E conference.
