The owners of Ellis Island are out millions of dollars due to the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix, according to an attorney representing the off-Strip property in a lawsuit regarding the event.
A lawsuit filed on April 30 by Ellis Island’s owners is seeking damages greater than $50,000 tied to financial losses caused by the Formula One race, according to court records. Attorney J. Randall Jones, of the Kemp-Jones law firm who is representing the hotel-casino, didn’t provide an exact amount being sought in the case, but he said the property incurred substantial losses due to last November’s race.
“To the extent it matters at this point, Ellis Island’s damages to date are already in the millions of dollars,” Jones said in an email Saturday to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
