Last month, Red Rock Resorts, Inc. announced the closing KAOS dayclub and nightclub at the Palms Casino Resort. Now, Kaskade, one the club’s residents, has filed a federal lawsuit against the hotel and casino in District Court on Wednesday over the sudden closure the club, alleging a breach contract.
According to Kaskade and his attorneys, he originally signed a two-year contracts for 30 concerts throughout 2019 and 2020. When the club began cancelling shows in October, the lawsuit claims FP Holdings (the company that owns the Palms and was bought by Station Casinos) blamed a renovation the venue. In response, Kaskade’s team fered alternative dates that could be rescheduled.
After a final concert scheduled for November 1 was cancelled, for which Kaskade was not paid, it was announced that the club would be closing “effectively immediately” only days later.
“As a result, FP is unable to provide Raddon with a suitable venue for either the remaining performances to be held in 2019 or the performances in 2020, which further breach the agreement,” the lawsuit said.
According to the lawsuit, Kaskade and his team are seeking damages, though the exact amount was redacted from public access to court records.
In addition to a lawsuit from Kaskade, reports Fox 5 Vegas, “a class-action lawsuit was filed on behalf KAOS nightclub workers who allege that hundreds employees were owed pay for 60 days. The suit was filed on Nov. 7, two days after the club’s sudden closure.”
“The lawsuit claims nightclub workers were not given 60 days’ notice under the federal WARN Act to notify employees their job termination. A letter given to KAOS employees Nov. 5 notified workers the club’s immediate shutdown and provided workers the option two weeks severance pay or 60 days on-call employment; all jobs would be terminated in 60 days.”
Employees are demanding pay, claiming a “measly” two-week severance is not enough, nor is the alternative option as jobs are fewer to find in the city over the winter holidays.
