A former Wynn Las Vegas cocktail server has accepted a reduced payment from a jury damages award resulting from the casino property violating her Family and Medical Leave Act rights.
U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Gordon ruled that plaintiff Tiare Ramirez could accept a remittitur payment totaling $27,200.75, down from the jury award of $321,200, or go forward with a new trial after he found that the jury award was excessive.
In his July 29 ruling, Gordon said the jury award was flawed following a five-day trial that concluded Oct. 25, 2024, and granted Wynn’s request for a new trial regarding the award. But he said Ramirez could accept the reduced payment or the new trial.
