The Golden Nugget pushed the regulators to the limit once by showing people dancing through an empty casino. Ten years ago I received a call from an advertising company, which had been told that its commercial for the Tropicana Hotel and Country Club in Las Vegas could not be run on a Las Vegas T.V. station. I told the lawyer for the T.V. station that the First Amendment had to allow a legal business to advertise in the very state which had made the business legal. The lawyer responded that his job was to protect the station, and that he never fought government regulators. You could hardly blame him.
Government agencies can do more than impose fines.
They literally have the death penalty, they can kill a station by taking away its multi-million dollar license. Broadcasters finally took the FCC to court when casino gambling became so big that stations could no longer ignore these lost millions of dollars of revenue. The state recently signed a compact with the St. Regis Mohawks, allowing the tribe to open a casino with table games and Video Lottery Terminals. New York charities can run Las Vegas Nights with casino table games. California presents an even more interesting question.
