“In the 45 years that I have been in business in Las Vegas, Pat Mulroy has been one of the most impressive public servants, running a large organization and dealing with complex issues. Her career managing both the Las Vegas and Southern Nevada Water Authorities was marked by a singular professional sensitivity to the sometimes competing needs of the community and the environment. My opinion is obviously shared at all levels of this state and its government, as evidenced by her appointment to the Nevada Gaming Commission by Governor Sandoval in 2014. Pat Mulroy’s willingness to join our board and apply her independent judgment on all matters is a marvelous and positive development at Wynn Resorts,” commented Stephen A. Wynn, Chairman and CEO.
