LAS VEGAS (Associated Press) — Nevada gambling regulators says the Aria Hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip blocked its agents from watching a high-stakes roulette table.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board filed a two-count complaint against Aria and part-owner MGM Resorts International on Friday.

The complaint said two state agents who had not identified themselves were watching high rollers play roulette last October when a supervisor told them that the players did not want to be watched and threatened to call security.

The agents were standing about 6 feet away. One asked if the games were not open to the public, and the agent was told that "observation of the roulette wheel was not welcome."

State law requires all gambling to be open to the public.

The complaint says regulators previously encountered similar issues at Aria. Regulators warned MGM to make games accessible in 2010 and 2013, and the company responded with new policies.
