“I didn’t want the public thinking that the commission just disregarded this,” she said. Wells said the commission is taking the issue seriously.
But I wouldn’t want to put the commission in a position of having to opine on something that is not even ripe necessarily for any kind of vote or discussion.” “And that issue may not even be determinative, so there’s a lot of open questions there. “If it’s not even going to be an event that’s a thousand patrons, it doesn’t even trigger that issue,” Wells said. Wells appeared to suggest the commission would only take up the issue if the March 17 event sold more than 1,000 tickets. “l had a conversation with a representative from Wynn Resorts who is double-checking on that for me because it may not be that that is going to actually take place. “In this case, we’re looking to see if that event on the 17 th is even going to have patrons and/or seats within that range that would even trigger that discussion,” said Karen Wells, the executive director of the Gaming Commission. At its meeting on Thursday, the commission briefly took up the issue but then put off any action after Karen Wells, the executive director of the commission, said an Encore official had told her it was unclear whether the March 17 event, called Combat Zone 75, would fill more than 1,000 seats.
