The owners of Battista's Hole in the Wall and Stage Door Casino have filed a $50,000 lawsuit against Clark County and Formula 1, claiming financial losses due to the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix. They allege that the race-related road construction, which blocked access to their businesses for months preceding the November 2023 event, resulted in millions of dollars in lost revenue. The lawsuit was filed on Tuesday, with the plaintiffs stating that the interference from the Las Vegas Grand Prix has unfairly impacted their operations.
The seven-member court upheld a February ruling by a three-judge panel citing state anti-SLAPP law, or “strategic lawsuits against public participation." https://t.co/0veEDmx98S
