Default Lawsuit against Wynn.

This lawsuit is against the Wynn casino resort and says that the employees are being forced to breathe second hand smoke.

This is the second resort to be sued for this. The first was Caesars Palace. They are being sued by an employee.

They have not yet answered the complaint. It will be a long and arduous process at best.

Quote:
The suit alleges exposure to smoke is causing eye irritation, coughing, sore throat, sneezing, shortness of breath, dizziness, wheezing, tightness in the chest, asthma, headache, nausea and ingestion of cancer-causing chemicals and toxins.

The suit claims some Las Vegas resorts have taken measures to minimize second-hand smoke on their gaming floors. MGM Mirage's Bellagio has a high-tech air filtration system designed to minimize such smoke while Las Vegas Sands Corp.'s Palazzo hotel-casino built "smoke-free corridors" in its gaming area and designated 50 percent of its casino floor as non-smoking, the lawsuit says.

"Wynn Las Vegas, however, continues to gamble with its employees' health and welfare in order to cut costs and maintain the status quo,"
Now I can completely understand what they are complaining about. I am a smoker and have been in places where I wouldn't smoke and had to leave because the smoke made me sick. Burned my eyes,made my nose run ecetera.

There are things that can be done to make all of us happy. I want to know that I can smoke but also want others to at least be able to breathe. I don't want them to suffer like that. It is irresponsible of the casinos to leave things like this and to tell them not to complain. Very unfair and very unprofessional.
