Nevada
Te National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA) will move its 2021 Indian Gaming Tradeshow and Convention to Las Vegas, Nevada, from July 19 to 23, 2021. Te Tradeshow will be held in conjunction with the RES 2021 Conference at the Bally’s and Paris Hotels. Indian Gaming’s Tradeshow Floor will be at the brand new Caesar’s Forum Convention Center located directly behind Bally’s and Paris.
Indian Gaming was forced to re-schedule the April 2021 San Diego tradeshow due to the pandemic. Moving to Las Vegas will allow more time for the vaccine rollout and further declines in the infection rate. It is NIGA’s intention to safely conduct a full access tradeshow in Las Vegas.
Chairman Ernie Stevens Jr., said: “We are finalising the details that will allow our Tradeshows to work through the Covid-19 precautions and provide a safe environment for what we believe will be the largest Tribal economic development event in history.”

Hawaii Hawaii says no to casino development in Kapolei
Hawaii’s House Economic Development Committee has turned down the chance to launch the island’s first casino via a project from the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) that would have seen a resort- casino built in Kapolei.
Sean Quinlan, Chairman of the Committee, shelved the proposal until the next legislative session in 2022, saying: “Every two years we swear an oath on the state constitution and every two years we fail to follow up on that oath with the money Hawaiians are owed.”
Te DHHL had said that given the impact of COVID-19 on the state's economy, the department needed a ‘bold measure’ to generate ‘critically needed revenue to improve the lives of their people.’
Neither House Speaker Scott Saiki nor Senate President Ron Kouchi supported the suggestion of a casino. DHHL Director William Aila said: “I am proud of Deputy Gomes and the DHHL staff for their efforts in bringing forth such
a bold and innovative idea to address the devastating budget shortfall that this Department faces year after year. While the committee’s deferral of HB 359 was not an ideal outcome, we look forward to the future with hope. We thank the legislature across the board for allowing this conversation to come to the table. As we have previously commented, there are currently no other proposals to this scale that would close the gap of our funding shortfalls.”
“It is no secret that illegal gaming is already a reality in our communities and that there are related social ills already in existence,” he added. “Te Chair and I believe that gaming can be responsibly implemented in
Hawaii through a regulatory process that sets aside resources to aid in the mitigation of the potential impacts. Tese resources can fund similar public safety measures and best practices that have already been developed and administered by countries like Japan, Singapore, and New Zealand.”
