Tourist Stabbed at Four Queens Casino Files Negligence Lawsuit Against Property Owners
Hey, Check this Out:
- Las Vegas Casino Negligence Suit*** Stabbing Incident at Four Queens Hotel & Casino* George Beatty's Lawsuit*** David Charns, KLAS
But hold up, here's the lowdown on what happened!
Last year, on Fremont Street's Four Queens Hotel and Casino, a wild scene unfolded when a tourist named Felipe Nicholson got into a heated argument with another patron. This argument resulted in a stabbing that landed George Beatty, a Cali cook, in the hospital.
The incident occurred in June 2023. According to the report, Nicholson kept bumping into Beatty's chair while they were both playing games. Beatty stood up to move to another machine, but you guessed it — Nicholson did it again. This time, Beatty decided it was time to put a stop to Nicholson's nonsense. He called him out, and Nicholson responded by chasing Beatty down and stabbing him with a freakin' knife!
Holy crap, right? Beatty's arm took a beating and he's now dealing with some serious damage. Nicholson decided to plead guilty to battery with substantial bodily harm. As a result, he was sentenced to serve 14-48 months in prison - talk about a hard time, am I right?
But here's where it gets even more interesting - Beatty is claiming the casino is responsible for all of this, alleging they provided insufficient security during the incident. The lawsuit is seeking damages for Beatty's injuries, which he believes were caused by the casino's negligence.
It's worth noting that this isn't the first time we've seen a case like this in Las Vegas casinos. There's mention of a similar case involving the MGM Grand that was settled confidentially, setting a precedent for such negligence claims. Wanna know what else is wild? There's no shortage of questionable business practices lurking around these casinos. So keep your eyes open and your wits sharp, folks!
So, there ya have it - another crazy story from Sin City. Keep it classy, folks, and stay safe!
