Steve Wynn,Labor
In his coverage of Monday's Nevada Supreme Court hearing over the tip-confiscation policies at Wynn Las Vegas, reporter Arnold Knightly made a couple of pointed observations. He noted that "Steve Wynn attended the hearing, entering and exiting the 17th-floor courtroom at the Regional Justice Center through a side emergency exit door.
"As soon as the hearing concluded, Wynn shook hands with his legal counsel, then took a private elevator primarily used by judges and their staff to exit the building, which allowed him to avoid a handful of protesters outside the courthouse."
Is this what the self-proclaimed "most powerful man in Nevada" has come to: sneaking in and out of courtrooms for fear he might come face-to-face with a few citizens exercising their First Amendment rights? Sheesh!
Mind you, Wynn was able to exercise prerogatives of ingress and egress not normally available to you or I -- unless you happen to be an officer of the court. Good going, Nevada Supreme Court! If your ruling comes down in favor of Wynn Resorts and not dealers Joseph Cesarz and Daniel Baldonado, such blatant favoritism toward El Steve will create the appearance the fix was in, even if your ruling is made strictly on the merits of the case. What were you thinking (if anything)?
Whether carving out one-time-only exceptions to constitutionally mandated budgeting procedures or unilaterally rewriting ballot initiatives, the propensity of the Nevada Supremes to screw up a case can never, ever be underestimated.

I dunno, I'm just not surprised for some reason. Probably because George Dubya & Friends do this kind of thing so much.
