Drugs Being Dealt at Hard Rock in Vegas

I just read that the Hard Rock in Las Vegas got busted for dealing drugs inside. An undercover cop was able to purchase pot, cocaine and Ecstasy from the employees and was even able to arrange to buy 7.2 grams of cocaine in the parking garage.

The Hard Rocks has been fined $650,000. They are lucky because they could have easily lost their license to operate.

They have already been dealing with lack of money issues as of late so this is the last thing they needed.

Quote:

After spending its cash reserves last year, the Hard Rock can’t afford to make payments on $1.4 billion in debt and was unable to pay off a $1 billion loan due Feb. 9, according to court records and financial statements. To make last month’s payroll, lenders say the casino took money from its casino cage — money typically used to pay gamblers — and payments intended for vendors.

Fining the Hard Rock wasn’t a simple decision.

Well it sounds to me that they need to do a good check of who they have working for them. Weed out the bad before things get worse.

Hopefully the employees that were involved in this were let go but I do have to wonder why these drug sales werent caught on camera as there are cameras all over the casinos and in the parking garages.

Which brings me to the fact that perhaps other employees were involved by just simply "not seeing" what was going on in front of them.

One has to wonder what will happen to Hard Rock now with this fine on top of over a billion dollar loan that they cant pay and one has to wonder if this is a casino that will be gone the next time I visit Las Vegas.

This is just unnreal!!! I can't believe that this wasn't caught and stopped earlier.

I would have to say that everyone who was supposed to be watching the security cameras need to be replaced as well as those who were busted in the sales.

I know that drugs are pretty much every where, but we all can do what we can to make sure that it is more and more difficult for the dealers to deal!!

I am glad that the Hard Rock wasn't shut down, but seriously they need to be held accountable for allowing something like this to happen.

I am just glad that these dealers have been put out of order and I hope that they do the time!!
