defamation lawsuit
Sahara Las Vegas has filed a defamation lawsuit against a local blogger who reported what the casino’s owners said was an inaccurate rumor that the property would close next month.
Scott Roeben, the man behind vitalvegas.com and the Twitter handle of the same name with more than 73,000 followers, tweeted on July 30: “Gut punch of the day: Rumor is Sahara could close permanently in September. Permanently.”
Roeben’s tweet was accompanied by a corresponding post on his website with the headline “Sahara Las Vegas to Close Permanently, Per Sources.” The sources were not named, and the property’s lawyers alleged that Roeben had made no effort to contact the company’s representatives to verify the information
