Las Vegas lawyer Rosa Solis-Rainey has been named to the Nevada Gaming Commission, Gov. Steve Sisolak announced today.
Solis-Rainey will take the seat previously held by Sandra Douglass Morgan, who left the commission in January to become chairwoman of the Gaming Control Board.
“Rosa is a highly experienced litigator who has been involved in some of the state’s most complex legal issues over the past 18 years,” Sisolak said in a statement. “I am confident she’ll make an outstanding addition to the Nevada Gaming Commission and support its mission of keeping Nevada the gold standard in gaming regulation.”
Solis-Rainey, who lives in Henderson, is managing partner of the Morris Law Group. She has been with the Las Vegas firm since 2006.
According to her LinkedIn page, Solis-Rainey spent more than a decade as Boyd Gaming’s director of regulatory compliance and internal audit.
"I am deeply honored and humbled by the trust Gov. Sisolak has placed in me by this appointment," Solis-Rainey said in a statement. "I began my career in the gaming industry many years ago, and I am excited to be given this opportunity to work with my fellow commissioners and the staff and members of the Gaming Control Board to regulate this industry that is so vital to the state of Nevada."
In addition to her law degree from the Boyd School of Law at UNLV, Solis-Rainey holds bachelor’s and MBA degrees from the school.
With the addition of Solis-Rainey, the commission now has four members and one vacancy.
