Two Hispanic women who used to work at Aria casino-hotel are suing their former employer over claims they were wrongfully terminated after being falsely accused of stealing millions of dollars.

Erendira Dominguez and Allison Lopez filed a four-count complaint in U.S. District Court on Monday against Aria and its parent company MGM Resorts International alleging racial discrimination and retaliation stemming from a false accusation of misappropriated company funds. Dominguez and Lopez are suing for lost wages and compensatory damages resulting from “mental anguish, emotional distress, pain and suffering, humiliation, harm to reputation,” as well as punitive damages and attorney’s fees.
