Thurs-Fri Round Up

Can the Wynn mandate tip-pooling among casino dealers? The question goes to the Nevada Supreme Court (Review-Journal)

In medical legal news:
The first lawsuit has been filed against Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada for inadvertently handing out Hepatitis C and HIV to potentially thousands of patients. More malpractice lawsuits are expected. (Las Vegas Sun) Update: several lawsuits have now been filed.

Meanwhile, the Nevada Board of Medical Examiners has taken malpractice judgment information about doctors from their website. (Review-Journal) [Wonder who they're protecting? Everyone knows Vegas has crappy medical care for a city of its size]

In casino news, the Wyndham Sugar Bay Casino in St. Thomas made the mistake of refusing to pay out a $5 million jackpot slot winner because "it's an obvious malfunction". Too bad the guy they refused was an attorney. (Vegas Tripping) [wonder how long he waited before filing the complaint?]

Audio tapes have surfaced of the Juice talking about what happened that night at Palace Station (CBS)

Federal prosecutors claimed Crazy Horse Too owner Rick Rizzolo was a mob hoodlum in court (Review-Journal)
