I believe he does a little more than just read the board. For example, someone in a previous thread said that he was describing the people around him and described the 2+2r as "Avalanche" because of his large stack of chips. Now, I know that is just an objective description, but what if he said, "Seat 4 is playing weak, tight" or some other comment that is more subjective? Would that be allowed?

I am for letting the guy play because (1) it is likely required by law, (2) the right thing to do, and (3) the guy has been a regular for years in Vegas (it isn't as if this is some publicity ploy). But, the idea that the whisperer be someone he doesn't know sounds reasonable if that person is only supposed to be giving objective information like reading the board.

An interesting side note ... we have a person in our monthly tournament who is losing his sight. We read him the board. I was talking to him the other day about tells, and he is aware of how he asks what the board is may let us know the strength of his hand. He tells me he sometimes asks for information that he already knows/remembers so as to throw us off.
