A Clark County woman filed a lawsuit against Wynn Resorts Ltd. saying the company violated labor laws by pooling tips paid to slot machine attendants and sharing the money with their supervisors.

Attorneys for Sheila Little allege that management at Wynn Las Vegas violated the Fair Labor Standards Act by forcing her and her peers to share a portion of their tips with slot leads and managers.

Little’s attorneys say the lawsuit is similar to a claim made by table games dealers against Wynn that was settled by the company in March 2021 by paying 1,000 dealers, including former dealers, $5.6 million.

Representatives of Wynn had no comment Monday on the most recent lawsuit.
