MGM Bans Nevada Candidate From Casinos Over Criticism

MGM Resorts has banned Nevada congressional candidate Bobby Khan from all of the company’s properties. Khan has been highly critical of rising prices and increasing fees in Las Vegas and regularly details those concerns in videos on Instagram, usually from inside a casino.

Khan was convicted of fraudulent activity involving his auto dealership in 2022 and served two years in prison. He is running as a Republican to unseat Rep. Dina Titus (D). MGM has threatened Khan with arrest and a potential fine or jail time if he visits an MGM casino.

Khan was charged with wire fraud for obtaining loans for cars that he never delivered, but for which the purchaser was still responsible. Khan and his family fled the country before his indictment and was on the run before finally turning himself in in 2020. Khan says he can bring a fresh perspective to politics, including helping those getting out of prison like himself. The Nevada GOP primary is set for June 9. Khan is in a crowded field that includes seven other candidates.
