Mr. Cashell later served as Chairman of the Board of Cashell Enterprises, a hotel casino management company and owned, operated or managed numerous gaming properties including the Alamo Travel Plaza and the Topaz Lodge.
Mr. Cashell is one of Nevada's best known business and public figures having served on the University of Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents. Following his term as a University Regent, he was elected Lieutenant Governor for the State of Nevada in 1982. Working together with then Governor Richard Bryan, they created both the Nevada Commission on Economic Development and the Nevada Commission on Tourism.
