A watch dealer is suing Tropicana Las Vegas and Uber over a 2021 robbery of $1 million of merchandise from a car and acts of violence that left him with a disabling injury.
Lawyers for Raimond Irimescu filed the suit Monday in District Court alleging negligence, failure to provide security and other claims against the Las Vegas Strip hotel, San Francisco-based Uber, its subsidiary Raiser LLC, Uber driver Rubin Spahn and some unnamed defendants.
Irimescu is the owner of Paul’s Watch Repair in Sacramento, Calif., which buys and sells used high-end watches, according to its website.
His suit centers on an alleged attack on Oct. 19, 2021 by a group of robbers as he sat inside a vehicle he hired via Uber to pick him up at the Tropicana.
