I have never dealt with a situation like this so I'm wondering how much money I could be looking at. Any of you have any guesses you could throw at me? This Casino is gonna pay DEARLY for their lack of security.

I'm sure the last thing my dad wanted to hear at 4 in the morning was "hey your son and 2 other guys got destroyed by gang of thugs".

Yeah, really shitty eh?

Anyway. I was just chilling at the house and my best friend was in town and told me to come to a club called "The Ledge" at the Hard Rock Casino for his birthday celebration. I hated that place but I came anyway.

When I arrived I was at the end of a long ass line and I sent him a text saying that it was long as hell. So he came downstairs, got me and brought me all the way inside. Along the way was my cousin and 2 friends who I scooped up. I could hear some guys making comments like "who do they think they are, they aren't VIP".

Well we sat down in this VIP section that wasn't really VIP, it was just a stupid couch and some shitty champagne. It wasn't even blocked off from everyone else either. I got introduced to 2 people who were there(who'd later get ambushed along with me).

About 20-30 mins passes and one of the guys comes back to the couch and says "get up get up get up." and I'm like "WTF for" then I look behind him and a group of about 7 of dudes show up. At this point I'm not sure whats going on and then they attack him. As soon as I realized wtf was up it was too late. I got hit with a nasty right hook and a bunch of dudes just dove on me and started to punch, kick and stomp me while I was on the ground. It seemed like the attack lasted forever. The worst part was when I hit the ground and got stomped in the back of the fuckin head.

When I finally came to, i saw a security dude helping me up. After I found my busted up glasses I tried to get security to help me find my friends who they took away for questioning and to call an ambulance and the police for me. THEY DID NO SUCH THING. Instead they gave me the run around for help. Me and my cousin spent more than an hour talking to various security personnel and all of them telling us "oh there are so many fights, I don't know which one you're talking about". One security guy who was a friend of my cousin told me that they let the guys who beat us up go! After finally catching up with the security supervisor he told me that I made the story up and that it took me too long to take care of everything. He only started to care after I called 911.

So when the cops arrived I finally got to tell someone my story. I thought that once I told the officer my story that everything would be ok but it wasn't. When I finally picked up the police report I saw he had written on there "refused medical attention" when I wasn't even given the chance to receive any.

So basically I'm going to get the security footage and sue the casino for having shitty security and letting a gang of thugs go as if it were nothing.

TL,DR: I got invited to a party in the VIP section. 20 mins after sitting down me and 2 other guys got ambushed by 12-14 dudes. After it all happened security took the guys who were with me away, left me there in the club and let the guys who ambushed us go. Security was absolutely no help and their supervisor said that I made the story up. I spent hours in the ER getting check out then after that I went to the police station to get the report and on the report it said "refused medical attention". Now I'm gonna sue.

EVEN SHORTER: I got destroyed by a gang, now i'm the bad guy for some reason, now I'm gonna sue the casino.

:eek:

What the hell kind of Father's Day is this? Damn. Glad you're alright bro.

What kind of Father's day? The worst day of my life to go along with the worst year of my life. It was only 2 months ago that my friend and my uncle died a few days apart from each other. I feel that this year may only get worse.

Hate to say it, but it seems that the casino might have a leg up with the police department (that "refused medical attention" is going to haunt you). Good luck on your lawsuit...

Whatever you do make sure you do it fast. I mean like tomorrow.

Like bobak said go and get one of those well know bus bench lawyers that will harass those fucktards at the casino and won't stop until they pay you to go away.

I know the ideal outcome would be for them to get their shit together and be forced to settle in court but that isn't likely to happen. Getting an out of court settlement might be your best bet.

that refused medical attention thing isn't gonna really haunt me because while they took the other guys into holding where they were questioned and asked about medical attention i was left on the floor and had to find out everything on my own with footage to prove it as well as plenty of witnesses. I'm pretty sure I have them by the balls no matter what. I have footage on my side.

I didn't get the tape yet but the cop told me he would have it within 24-48 hours the day it happened. If he didn't then the lawyer will I'm sure. The casino can't do anything about that footage because it's owned by a private company that the Casinos have no control over.

That's good to hear, bro. Good luck.

I hope to see you land a fat paycheck soon from the Casino. Sue the security company that they use, too.

Spin, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me most. Next time.

This would be my advice:

1. Go back there with a 2x4 and fuck shit up.
2. When you get arrested and tried, tell the jury that if they let you go, you will run for sheriff and clean up this town.

I really like you man. I just want you to know that.

Late to the party... this is some bullshit. But, now that it's done and over with, like the others have said, get ready to swim in cash Scrooge McDuck style. So sorry to hear about all this shit, good luck.

I am waiting to hear "the tapes have been accidentally taped over or the video was erased".

Or the place where the tapes are held, assuming its offsite, is burned to the ground.


Then again, I would imagine in this day and age its all digital. "Lulzsec hacked our servers and deleted all the footage!"

That SO would not surprise me if this happens.

Sucks that happened to you. I hope you sue the pants of of them.

I've been to the Hard Rock Casino once...shortly after it opened. Never been back to it. It was one of the few casinos I never felt comfortable in during my Vegas trips.

ProTip: There are several Hard Rock Casinos across the country. Spin lives in Mississippi and went to the one near him. The one in Vegas isn't even owned by the Hard Rock company --it was licensed before the brand (which is now owned by a band of Seminole Indians of Florida) started going into casinos on its own (and they've since become bitter rivals with the Vegas hotel). These are not only not the same casino, but not even the same company.

Remember the rules of negotiation. You want to start out asking for an outrageous amount, then you can bargain it down to something more 'reasonable' (what you really wanted in the first place).

That said, listen to what the actual lawyer says and not me.

Good luck man

I've been trying desperately. The one who seems like they have some clout said they'd call me back within the hour and well it hasn't happened. I called another one and they said that their satellite group doesn't handle that stuff even though it never stated that on their website. one of my "friend of a friend" secretaries for a lawyer contacted me but i'm a bit cautious of that because they don't even have a website. It's like i have no luck but I haven't stopped yet. I won't quit.

I don't want you to go to jail for being an asshole or anything SPIN... but it sounds to me like
the only way you're going to see justice with all this runaround they're giving you is to take off
that arm band, and give them The People's Ass Whoopin'

Then perhaps you might consider showing up in person to a firm. The one that said they had a satellite group sounds like its based in another city. Sometimes it takes time to find a firm that's able or interested if it's outside of the cases they're familiar with handling.

So, where they the guys you passed in line? Or what did your friend do to piss all of these guys off? Either way, get that Casino video asap! Things like that tend to disappear.
