    Sahara takes VitalVegas to task for saying they're going to close

    https://twitter.com/SAHARALasVegas/status/1288961644614148096


    Vital Vegas has been known to act irresponsibly at times, tweeting out lots of false rumors without doing any kind of sanity check. Sometimes they're correct and calls something before it happens, but they're also wrong a whole lot.

    Have no idea if he’s right or not but there’s no way a casino would admit to it if they were on the verge of closing anyway.

    Considering his reach, do you think he has an obligation to confirm that before tweeting?

    I can’t see how a whole bunch of casinos don’t close for good as it looks like our government will not allow things to return to normal anytime soon. Vegas just cannot survive as it has in this global environment.

    If he could confirm it, he wouldn't label it as a "rumor."

    The last thing I'm gonna do is debate what's "responsible" to post on twitter, and if I was gonna, I wouldn't start with a rumor about a casino closing.

    Lotta things killing the casinos right now. That tweet is not one of them.
    LOL. Join the conversation willingly and then complain about even being in such a stupid conversation. Finish by stating your opinion on said conversation that’s not worth discussing.

    Welcome to 2020.

    BUMP

    This has not been publicized, but Sahara is currently suing VitalVegas (aka Scott Roeben) for the false rumor.

    Here's the filing: https://ewscripps.brightspotcdn.com/...as-lawsuit.pdf

    They're only asking for $15k + punitive damages, which is surprising. I'd think they could demand more.

    This doesn't seem frivolous. According to the lawsuit, they attempted to correct him, but he kept doubling down on the original claim, and kept asserting in various ways (directly and indirectly) that the closure was coming.

    Ouch.
