"It's a shame that it happened, but the (regulations) are as they are, and unfortunately one of our employees just couldn't abide by all the schooling that was given," said Nugget general manager Brian Smith. Smith said employees get extensive training on cash-handling procedures required to prevent money-laundering. The person involved in the violation was fired, he added. The Nugget last week returned a stipulation settling the complaint to the state Gaming Control Board, which is expected to refer the matter to its parent Nevada Gaming Commission for final approval at ah Aug.

Nevada Bell rates RENO (AP) The state Office of the Consumer Advocate has joined in opposition to a proposed rate change by Nevada Bell.

The telephone company is asking the Public Service Commission for a $4-per-month increase in basic residential fees and a $435 decrease for business customers. The consumer advocate, however, said rates should be cut across the board. The agency has recommended a 75-cent cut in the $10 monthly residential service charge. Additionally, it recommended business rates be reduced by $11.50. "I think they are trying to stick it to the residential customers and not give business customers what they deserve," Consumer Advocate Fred Schmidt said on Tuesday.

"Residential and business customers are unnecessarily funding outrageous profits." PSC staff previously recommended a $2.50 reduction in basic service and a $1220 cut in business rates. Nevada Bell spokeswoman Joyce Trombley called the OCA and PSC recommendations unrealistic and said they "ignore the fact that there is competition in the local market" The company filed its request for rate changes early this year. Commission hearings on the proposal begin this month. same denomination. The minimum fine for such violations is $25,000, and GCB Chairman Bill Bible said casino regulators take the cash-handling rules very seriously.
