Wynn Resorts files a trade dress and trademark infringement lawsuit against Resorts World Las Vegas over the architectural look and color of the building under construction.
Wynn Las Vegas was the only casino where dealers shared 15 percent of their tips with people who dealers argued were supervisors.
