Man suing Las Vegas casino for letting him gamble while really drunk
The Downtown Grand in Las Vegas has been open for just a few months, but it is already facing a lawsuit.
Mark Johnston says the resort cheated him out of $500,000, which he lost
gambling during Super Bowl weekend. Johnston, who says he had too much
to drink before wagering that money, says the resort should not have let
him gamble.

“I feel like they picked my pockets,” he said. “I feel like they took a
drunk guy . . . like a drunk guy walking down the street, and you reach
in his pockets and grab all his money.” The Downtown Grand does not
comment on pending litigation. Johnston says the Gaming Control Board is
investigating.
