Former MGM Resorts executive Scott Sibella, who served as president of the company’s MGM Grand and later Park MGM properties in Las Vegas, is facing the possibility of losing his gaming license following an investigation by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
The investigation into Sibella’s conduct stems from allegations of sexual harassment, financial improprieties, and other serious violations of gaming regulations. According to sources familiar with the matter, multiple former employees have come forward with accusations of inappropriate behavior by Sibella during his time at MGM Resorts.
One former employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity, described a pattern of harassment and bullying by Sibella that created a toxic work environment at the MGM Grand. “He was known for making inappropriate comments to female employees and engaging in favoritism towards certain individuals,” the source said. “It was clear that he used his position of power to intimidate and control those around him.”
In addition to the allegations of sexual harassment, investigators are also looking into potential financial misconduct by Sibella. One source revealed that Sibella may have engaged in questionable business practices, including the misuse of company funds for personal gain. “There are concerns about his financial dealings while he was in a leadership role at MGM Grand,” the source said. “There are questions about how he managed the property’s finances and whether he prioritized his own interests over the company’s.”
The investigation into Sibella’s conduct has raised serious concerns within the gaming industry, as he was once considered a rising star in the casino world. Sibella had a long and successful career at MGM Resorts, overseeing the opening of Park MGM and spearheading various projects to improve the company’s properties in Las Vegas.
However, the allegations against him have cast a shadow over his reputation and could potentially jeopardize his gaming license. If the Nevada Gaming Control Board finds evidence of wrongdoing, Sibella could face disciplinary action, including the revocation of his license to work in the gaming industry.
In response to the investigation, Sibella’s attorney released a statement denying the allegations and expressing confidence that his client will be cleared of any wrongdoing. “Mr. Sibella vehemently denies the accusations against him and is fully cooperating with the investigation,” the statement read. “He is confident that the truth will come to light and his good name will be vindicated.”
The outcome of the investigation remains uncertain, but one thing is clear – the future of former MGM executive Scott Sibella hangs in the balance as he faces the possibility of losing his gaming license and tarnishing his once-promising career in the casino industry.
