EDITORIAL REVIEW

---

Stints as an LBJ Administration staffer, Vegas newspaper editor and top aide to the Gaming Commission prepared him to know all the political and legal levers impacting the gaming industry.



He helped MGM Mirage buy the Mandalay Resort Group for $7.9 billion, and set the wheels in motion for MGM's $1.1 billion casino in Macau.


Casinos from Vegas to Detroit do well to bet the house on this scholarly gaming law legend.


If you love poolside gambling or salons in your Las Vegas casino, Robert Faiss is the man to thank. A leading lobbyist for Nevada's gaming industry, Faiss convinced the state legislature to pass a bill approving mobile gaming in casinos, which allows casino guests to play roulette while lounging by the pool. He has been the force behind other big changes in Sin City, including in 2002 helping the MGM Grand Hotel obtain approval from the Gaming Control Board for creation of a private salon for high-stakes gamblers.

PETER TAUSSIG , None
relationship: represented me (See description of overall experience hereinbelow.) rates/fees: Did not personally pay bills, but I did have responsibility for reviewing and approving or disapproving them. Do not recall the amount or basis of the bills but in light of the huge amounts involved i comments: In doing contract work heading major projects for federal agencies dealing with the savings and loan crisis in the 1990s and early 2000s, I engaged Bob Faiss to represent and work with me on Nevada matters. He was is superb -- intelligent, diligent and hard working, absolutely scrupulous, and highly effective. Insofar as I am concerned his only flaw is that he is overly modest and self effacing. Other senior attorneys and corporate executives whom I know and who have worked with him without exception share this unique unreserved high opinion of Bob Faiss.		service 10 expertise 10 quality 10 overall 10 recommend? yes
