Wynn Las Vegas sues Alonzo Mourning Charities, Inc over pending bills

Wynn Las Vegas is suing Alonzo Mourning Charities, Inc over what it claims of pending bills during the 2007 NBA All-Star Game. Wynn lawyers have said that NBA Entertainment and the player's charity’s group owe Wynn’s $50,000 in unpaid bills for meetings and convention space as part of an agreement they had.

The Las Vegas hotel spokeswoman Jennifer Dunne said the lawsuit seeking payment from the NBA and a player's charity was filed against Alonzo Mourning Charities, Inc. and not against NBA Entertainment and NBA Properties. In the lawsuit filed June 16th in Clark County District Court, Wynn claims that the charity foundation used its convention and meeting space for a fundraising event during the 2007 All-Star Week. According Wynn’s attorneys, a charity billiard tournament and silent auction were held at Wynn Las Vegas on Feb. 15th, 2007. Several incidents happened during the 2007 NBA All Star weekend, the Las Vegas police said they arrested over 500 disruptive fans as a result of uncontrolled drinking, fighting and shootings. The most notorious incident was the arrest of NFL star Adam 'Pacman' Jones for his connection with a fight and triple shooting at a Las Vegas strip club that left the club’s bouncer paralyzed from the waist down.

Alonzo Mourning Charities did not make any comments regarding the case. Mourning is an NBA veteran who played with the Charlotte Hornets and most recently with the Miami Heat. His contract with Miami finishes this same week.Wynn Las Vegas also was involved in a $400,000 lawsuit related to a gambling debt from retired basketball star Charles Barkley. Wynn’s attorneys sent the case to court, Barkley quickly repaid the debt after the media reported the lawsuit, saying that everything was a “mistake” from his side.
