Michael Lowry (Partner-Las Vegas, NV) and Patrick Tarzi (Associate-Las Vegas, NV) successfully defended a Las Vegas resort and casino against a property theft claim filed by a guest. The guest alleged certain items were stolen from his room. However, Patrick pointed out that the guest had not used the in-room safe nor did he attempt to deposit the items with the hotel for safekeeping. As a result, the Las Vegas Justice Court, Small Claims concluded the guest had not meet his burden of proof under NRS 651.010. A defense decision was entered.
