The guards appear to have grossly overreacted to a petty situation, and a front desk manager, now employed at the Wynn, worsened the problem by wanting to evict the patron from his room for no logical reason. Racial overtones appear to be involved as well the patron/victim is African-American. The Venetian employees seemed to be hell-bent on escalating a minor incident. It appears to be a case where no one employed by the Venetian used any common sense. The victim is not an advantage player just an average casino patron from New York. Here is what I know so far, and my impressions from having read the court file: This case began in 2004. LAS VEGAS – The jury verdict was delivered (Wednesday). Congratulations to Bob Nersesian and Thea Sankiewicz for another great job and congratulations to the jurors for having the courage to stand up to the bullies. The common casino industry practice of kicking people out of their hotel rooms for using their brains to win, or just because someone employed by the casino doesn’t like them, is despicable. Let’s hope this verdict opens the floodgates. I know there are other, similar cases pending. This jury just set the bullies at Venetian straight. Just as they run their casinos, these cretins believe their hotels are “above the law” and not subject to the normal rules of civilized society. Many casino managers somehow believe that their hotel operations are not subject to the laws and regulations that apply to innkeepers.

The $200,000 jury verdict against Venetian for abusing a patron is great news.
