Claims against Steve Wynn could have been made public years ago

Cocktail waitresses at the The Mirage, then run by Steve Wynn, were pressured by supervisors to have sex with casino customers dating as far back as 1989 and during that time one server claimed the casino mogul pressured her into having sex, according to a court filing. The claims could have been made public nearly two decades ago, but the Las Vegas Review-Journal decided against publishing the story in 1998. Two of the cocktail servers spoke to RJ reporter Carri Geer. Geer said she remembers then-publisher Sherman Frederick saying the woman should undergo lie detector tests. But after the polygraph results came back, Geer said she was ordered to delete the story she had written. But she saved a printout of the story, the court records from the case, the polygraph results and the $600 bill for the polygraph examinations. “I always wanted to tell these women’s stories. That’s why I saved this file for 20 years.” – Carri Geer
