A trial date has been set in a negligence lawsuit filed by the family of a woman who collapsed and died while playing a slot machine at a Las Vegas Strip casino.
The estate of Billie Sakkab filed the lawsuit against Wynn Las Vegas LLC in December 2023 in Clark County District Court. District Judge Mary Kay Holthus set a civil jury trial to begin Sept. 8 with a pretrial conference planned for Aug. 26.
According to court documents, the trial is expected to last 15-20 days.
An obituary published in February 2022 described Sakkab as a world traveler who had been to 60 countries, had a passion for music and was an artist, designer and master cook.
Sakkab, a regular Wynn customer, was 78 when she attended a 2022 Super Bowl viewing party at the resort.
