Wynn Las Vegas was denied a temporary injunction against Strip rival Fontainebleau over allegations the newly opened hotel-casino is poaching executive employees under contract by the resort.
Clark County District Judge Mark Denton made the ruling during a Thursday morning hearing. Denton said the request was overly broad and not appropriate for an injunction.
In court filings, Wynn attorneys have argued that Fontainebleau has convinced Wynn executives to violate the non-compete clauses in their employment contracts. In its opposition, Fontainebleau argued that the court doesn’t have the authority to issue a blanket injunction preventing employees from taking a better job at higher pay with a competing company.
