The owners of Stage Door casino and Battista’s Hole in the Wall lost “millions” of dollars because of 2023’s Formula One race in Las Vegas, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday by the off-Strip properties.
The suit, filed Sept. 3 by the owners of a small, slots-only casino and historic Italian restaurant behind the Flamingo, seeks damages over $50,000 from Clark County and F1 due to the financial losses incurred leading up to, during and after the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Clark County commissioners acknowledged the Grand Prix as an annual event for at least 10 years. A February 2023 resolution waived time limitations for applications and restrictions on streets and times for the event without additional meetings so long as the race is held the week before Thanksgiving in November.
