From Las Vegas Review Journal by Todd Prince

Hundreds of Wynn Las Vegas dealers are a step closer to a long-awaited fat paycheck.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday denied a petition by Wynn Las Vegas to overturn a lower court’s ruling that the casino operator must end its practice of sharing dealer tips with supervisors.

Wynn Las Vegas requires dealers to share 15 percent of the tips left by gamblers with their pit boss.

The company is the only Las Vegas gaming operator with that policy. Wynn dealers can earn close to six figures, potentially putting their total compensation above that of their supervisors.

“This is a major milestone for the dealers,” said Kanie Kastroll, a dealer who represents Wynn union workers. Kasatroll said the policy has cost her as much as $150,000 in tips over the years.

The dealers filed their latest case in 2013 in District Court in Nevada and lost. However, they came out victorious when they appealed to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Wynn Las Vegas subsequently brought the case to the Supreme Court.

Following Monday’s ruling, the case will go back to state District Judge Robert Jones, said Joshua Buck of Thierman Buck LLP, the firm representing the dealers.

What Our Clients Say

I am so pleased with this law firm and their expertise and assistance in my class action case. We worked together for 3 1/2 years, they were always responsive, helpful and reassuring if I had any questions or concerns. They have also received multiple calls from other members of the class action and have been responsive to those calls coming in too. I never for one moment had any complaints whatsoever and would highly recommend them to anyone.

So in regards to the people of Nevada vs DETR, Mark is a non-stop, guns blazing, no BS kind of attorney. This guy just doesn't back down. I'd hate to be on the wrong end of a lawsuit facing this firm. To the people who are concerned that they aren't being heard, you must realize the absolute burden that every individual case adds to the class action. I haven't had my calls or emails returned, even offered to pay for a face to face consultation, and still no response, and that's okay... I also understand that I am just one of thousands of people with the same issue. Thank you mark for representing the people of this state, and not giving into DETR's BS. Keep up the amazing work!

Great firm to deal with. Listened to all aspects of our case and was able to come out with a positive ruling. Highly recommend them to anyone out there needing help with a class action suit.
