By Nate Raymond Feb 17 (Reuters) - Nevada gaming regulators filed a lawsuit on Tuesday seeking to block prediction market operator Kalshi from offering events contracts that would allow its residents to bet on sports including football and basketball games.

Last week the White House announced the nomination of a Las Vegas attorney for U.S. Attorney of the District of Nevada.

The effort was carried out ahead of the Super Bowl in collaboration with several law enforcement and community partners under the Nevada Human Trafficking Task Force.

The White House’s nominee for U.S. attorney of Nevada is a longtime Las Vegas defense attorney and state official with ties to both the Democratic and Republican parties.
