  1331.  Operation  certificate. 1. Notwithstanding the issuance of a
  license therefor, no gaming facility may be opened or remain open to the
  public, and no  gaming  activity,  except  for  test  purposes,  may  be
  conducted  therein,  unless  and until a valid operation certificate has
  been issued to the gaming facility  licensee  by  the  commission.  Such
  certificate   shall   be   issued  by  the  executive  director  upon  a
  determination that a gaming facility complies in all respects  with  the
  requirements  of this article and regulations promulgated hereunder, and
  that the gaming facility is prepared in  all  respects  to  receive  and
  entertain the public.
2.  An  operation  certificate shall remain in force and effect unless
  revoked, suspended, limited, or otherwise altered by the  commission  in
  accordance with this article.
3.  It shall be an express condition of continued operation under this
  article  that  a  gaming  facility  licensee   shall   maintain   either
  electronically  or in hard copy at the discretion of the gaming facility
  licensee, copies of all books, records, and documents pertaining to  the
  licensee's  operations  and  approved  hotel  in  a  manner and location
  approved by the commission, provided, however,  that  the  originals  of
  such  books,  records  and documents, whether in electronic or hard copy
  form, may be maintained at  the  offices  or  electronic  system  of  an
  affiliate  of  the  gaming  facility  licensee, at the discretion of the
  gaming facility licensee. All such books, records and documents shall be
  immediately available for inspection during all hours  of  operation  in
  accordance  with the rules of the commission and shall be maintained for
  such period of time as the commission shall require.
