Several Southern Nevada restaurants, including Bouchon Las Vegas by celebrity chef Thomas Keller, are being accused of sexual harassment in four lawsuits filed this week by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Lawsuits filed against Bouchon, the Laughlin River Lodge resort-casino, Mariscos El Puerto and La Catrina allege sexual harassment toward employees by owners, supervisors and management, co-workers and/or customers, according to a Thursday news release from the federal agency.
The four lawsuits included allegations raised by workers throughout the hospitality industry, from housekeepers in hotels to waitstaff. The EEOC also filed a separate complaint against Mariscos El Puerto and La Catrina alleging verbal harassment and physical assault against gay and lesbian employees, court records show.
