A federal court dismissed a wide-ranging lawsuit against a Las Vegas Strip casino filed by a former patron who claimed the property allowed known felons to gamble and, in response to bringing that information to management’s attention, directed another player to harass and intimidate him.
On Wednesday, a U.S. District Court judge in Nevada tossed out Robert “R.J.” Cipriani’s six-count lawsuit against Resorts World Las Vegas and Scott Sibella, the property’s former top executive. Judge Miranda M. Du dismissed the suit with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled.
Cipriani, a high-stakes gambler who goes by the X handle RobinHood702, accused Resorts World and Sibella, the casino’s former chief operating officer and president, of negligence, civil conspiracy and intentional infliction of emotional distress in a suit filed last year.
