Strip resort will pay six-figure settlement in religious discrimination, retaliation lawsuit
LAS VEGAS - A megaresort on the Strip agreed to pay a six-figure sum to settle a religious discrimination and retaliation lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The Venetian hotel-casino will pay $850,000 and implement "significant policy changes" via a three-year consent decree to settle the suit, the EEOC said in a news release. The federal agency said The Venetian Resort Las Vegas violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by "refusing to accommodate the sincerely held religious beliefs of a class of employees" and allegedly "retaliated against employees who opposed these acts of religious discrimination." According to the EEOC lawsuit, "in some cases denial of accommodation led to discipline, denial of promotion opportunities and discharge or constructive discharge." "We are aware of the lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The complaint was procedural in nature as the parties have already reached a voluntary resolution in the matter, with no admission of liability or wrongdoing," a Venetian spokesperson said Thursday. Anna Park, regional attorney for the EEOC's Los Angeles District, whose jurisdiction includes Las Vegas, commended The Venetian for "their cooperation in the early resolution of this lawsuit and agreeing to implement proactive measures to ensure religious accommodation requests are handled more effectively." "The law protects the rights of workers in our pluralistic society to live out their various faiths in the workplace," said EEOC Acting Chair Andrea Lucas. "As this case shows, reasonable accommodation might look like, among other things, allowing certain days off for Sabbatarians or Buddhists and allowing beards for Orthodox Christians. It also means not punishing anyone who speaks out in favor of these rights." The Venetian will pay the six-figure sum as well as provide additional training for employees, managers and supervisors on employee rights and the obligations of employers when it comes to religious accommodations under Title VII. The decree also requires The Venetian to hire an independent third party to help review and update its religious accommodation policies and complaint procedures, and to keep track of whether the company is following the rules during the 36 months the decree is in effect. The Venetian is owned by VICI Properties Inc., a real estate investment trust, and operated by Apollo Global Management Inc., a New York City-based investment firm. Apollo and VICI purchased The Venetian, the Palazzo hotel-casino and The Venetian Expo for $6.25 billion in 2022 from the Las Vegas Sands Corp. The charges of discrimination and retaliation that prompted the EEOC lawsuit were filed with the agency prior to the 2022 sale. The settlement amount is being paid by the current operators of The Venetian. The aggrieved employees who filed complaints with the EEOC belonged to diverse faiths, including but not limited to, Orthodox Christianity, Catholicism, Judaism, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Buddhism, according to the lawsuit. The EEOC filed its lawsuit in June in U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada "following a lengthy voluntary pre-litigation mediation process after a resolution could not be achieved through the agency's conciliation process," the release said. ___ Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

The Venetian in Las Vegas Is Getting a $1.5 Billion Overhaul and We Got a Preview of Its Best Suites and New Restaurants
Less than three years after announcing a $1.5 billion reinvention of The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, the initial phases of the project have been completed. 'We are proud to have delivered on that promise,' the resort's president and CEO, Patrick Nichols, tells Travel + Leisure . The massive glow-up introduced Las Vegas to its first Israeli dining concepts, courtesy of acclaimed chef Eyal Shani. Miznon, a fast-casual pita shop, made its debut, followed by HaSalon, a marriage between Mediterranean fine dining and Tel Aviv bacchanalia. Next came Voltaire, a next-generation nightlife venue dreamed up by the resort's chief content officer, Michael Gruber. Voltaire has already hosted sold-out shows from Kylie Minogue, Christina Aguilera, and Jason Derulo, and is now home to a limited run of Dita Von Teese's burlesque show. The culinary rollout continued with an outpost of Los Angeles' beloved farmers' market-to-table favorite Gjelina, and Nomikai, an elevated sushi restaurant complete with a tucked-away speakeasy. But the most highly anticipated additions are still to come. Soon, the property will welcome a trio of standout openings: COTE, the first (and only) Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse in the U.S.; the Las Vegas migration of José Andrés' avant-garde Bazaar Meat from Sahara Las Vegas; and a new food hall called Via Via. All three will be open by the end of the year, according to Nichols. Via Via features a curated lineup of cult-favorite concepts from across the country. Think an outpost of Florence's legendary sandwich shop All'Antico Vinaio, Nashville's hot chicken Howlin' Ray's, and New York's Scarr's Pizza. The roster also includes a revival of chef Ray Garcia's Los Angeles B.S. Taqueria, Tokyo-and-NYC favorite Ivan Ramen, and two hits from New Orleans chef Mason Hereford: the breakfast haunt Molly's Rise & Shine and the all-day counter-service gem Turkey and the Wolf. There is even a cocktail bar called Close Company from the team behind L.A.'s Death & Co. Beyond the buzzy culinary additions, The Venetian's top floors now house some of the most opulent suites in the city. Its Signature Suites collection includes penthouses, presidential suites, and the crowning jewel, chairman suites, all of which have been completely reimagined and packed with over-the-top amenities, such as media rooms, Tonal gyms, steam baths, and saunas. The living room inside the Richmond Chairman suite. Thomas Hart Shelby/The Venetian Resort 12 Best Las Vegas Hotels 20 Totally Free Things to Do in Las Vegas 'We stripped them all down to the studs,' says Nichols. 'The goal was to bring in smart technology and create spaces that feel truly residential—comfortable, luxurious, and designed for how people actually live and entertain.' To that end, four distinct design schemes were developed by NYC-based firm Meyer Davis and London's Richmond International. All marry Italian sensibilities with Vegas whimsy, featuring Venetian plaster, Murano glass–inspired lighting, and custom Italian-crafted furnishings. Butler service comes standard, along with steam showers, Japanese toilets, and Dyson hairdryers. In the penthouse suites, plush Italian fabrics, corner-framed Venetian photography, and Scarpa flooring–inspired carpets set a refined tone. The presidential suites center around a sculptural, hand-crafted resin bar and feature Moroso leather armchairs, ripple-detailed dining tables, and custom-colored pianos. The five chairman suites showcase exquisite Officina Luce chandeliers, embroidered leather dining chairs, and a woven Murano glass–inspired bar backdrop that practically begs for a negroni moment. Some suites also feature unexpected elements, such as karaoke lounges, poker tables, and private bars that feel more like members-only clubs or hidden speakeasies. 'There's a suite for every kind of traveler,' Nichols notes. 'Whether you want something energetic and fun, or timeless and elegant, we've got it.' The refresh also brings a new naming structure to the resort's towers: The Venetian now refers to the North and South Towers—the former being the original 1999 tower, and the latter opening in 2003. While the Signature Suite refresh completes the larger $550 million room revamp of these towers, Nichols exclusively revealed to T+L that the South Tower's penthouse space, which, until now, had remained an unfinished 'gray shell,' is being quietly completed. Slated to open this summer, these 78 new suites will range from two to four bedrooms and, unlike the Signature Suites, which are reserved for The Venetian's top casino customers, these will be available for the general public to book. 'They'll be some of the largest suites you can book in Las Vegas,' says Nichols. And the upgrades aren't stopping there. 'We're working on some exciting things at The Palazzo next,' Nichols adds, though, for now, the details remain under wraps.

Donald Trump Jr. backs Inna Vernikov for NYC Council in nasty GOP primary
Brooklyn City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov has landed a potentially key endorsement from a big backer — Donald Trump Jr. — in her nasty Republican primary battle. Donald Jr. praised Vernikov as a MAGA fighter in a new campaign video as she seeks re-election, slamming her opponent, Democrat-turned Republican Ari Kagan, as a 'hack and fake Republican.' Vernikov and Kagan are battling to represent the heavily Jewish 48th council district in southern Brooklyn that covers Gravesend, Coney Island-Sea Gate, Brighton Beach, Midwood, Madison, Sheepshead Bay Manhattan Beach and Gerritsen Beach. Advertisement 3 Donald Trump Jr., son of the US president, speaks during The Bitcoin Conference at The Venetian Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 27, 2025. AFP via Getty Images 'The constituents of Council District 48 are incredibly lucky to have Inna Vernikov — someone who, like our president, is a fighter who never backs down in the fight against the radical left's attempt to destroy New York City. And they tried hard,' President Trump's eldest son said in the ad. 'Inna has fought, fought and fought, and we want to make sure a political establishment hack and fake Republican doesn't succeed in his dangerous attempt to take away one of the strongest fighters we have in New York City,' Donald Jr. said. 'Let's keep the MAGA movement strong and together, only vote Inna. Get out there, and make it happen, guys.' Advertisement There is little question President Trump is a fan of Vernikov himself. The councilwoman met the president in 2022 and later released a photo of the pair standing together, smiling, with Trump flashing a thumb's up. Kagan, a former councilman, switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican in 2022, saying his party had swung too far to the left. He lost his seat in a race against Democratic Councilman Justin Brannan in the neighboring 47th District in 2023 after a redistricting. Vernikov, 40, describes herself as a 'Ukrainian-born American Jew.' Advertisement 3 Ukrainian-born City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov met with President Donald Trump in 2022. Twitter/@InnaVernikov She was first elected in 2021, defeating the Democratic candidate, Steven Saperstein, in a landslide. On the council, she has accused CUNY and other college officials of failing to crack down on rising antisemitism on their campuses and slammed Russian aggression in Ukraine. She stirred controversy when she was caught on camera with a firearm in her waistband while observing an anti-Israel rally at Brooklyn College in 2023. A gun charge against her was dismissed after prosecutors said they couldn't cannot prove that the weapon was 'capable of firing bullets.'

Check out more newsletters When the NYPD recovered the gun, it was both unloaded and 'inoperable,' missing the 'recoil spring assembly' that would have allowed it to fire bullets, the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office said at the time. Vernikov had a concealed carry permit, but it is illegal in New York to carry a firearm at sensitive locations such as protests or on school grounds. The 5'3″ conservative firebrand has taken self-defense classes in the skills of Krav Maga — a martial art developed for the Israel Defense Force that combines judo, karate, boxing, wrestling and aikido. 3 Donald Trump Jr. endorsed Councilwoman Inna Vernikov for a contentious city council primary. Paul Martinka Considered a rising star in the Republican Party, Vernikov was a keynote speaker at the 2022 state GOP convention. Kagan, 58, was born in Minsk, Belarus, and immigrated to New York City after the collapse of the Soviet Union. He has worked as a Russian language journalist, television and radio host. Advertisement Kagan dismissed the Donald Trump Jr. endorsement. 'I don't think he knows the details of local Republican politics. Inna has been an absentee council person,' Kagan said.
