The general manager and executive vice president of the Carson Nugget will retire after 35 years at Carson City casino, the Nugget announced Wednesday.
Smith will "start spending some time working on the list of other goals" he would like to accomplish, he said in a statement.
"I came here 35 years ago to ski and took a small and gratifying detour with the Carson Nugget," Smith said in a statement. "It has been a pleasure working with a great staff and the Carson City community."
He will continue to act as an advisor for the casino, which has been open more than 50 years in downtown Carson City.
