- Famous sports agent Dwight Manley is suing MGM Resorts claiming he was drugged during a round of blackjack.
- Originally offering a $500,000 reward for any information, Manley has increased the reward to $1 million.
- Manley represented popular NBA players in the 1990s such as Karl Malone and Dennis Rodman.
LAS VEGAS – With no information having come forward, Dwight Manley has increased his reward payout for information regarding a day he believed his drink was spiked at a high roller blackjack table.
In total, over a dozen billboards can be seen around the Las Vegas strip looking for more information about the MGM Grand on Dec. 10, 2021.
The Back Story
This all started when Dwight Manley appeared to be drugged (with Ketamine) during a visit to Las Vegas, where he had gone with his girlfriend and friends for a poker tournament at the MGM.
After drinking an Old Fashioned cocktail at a blackjack table, Manley became disoriented, eventually shattering an ashtray, cutting his hand, and bleeding without realizing it. Within three hours, MGM significantly increased his credit, granting him $3.5 million in total credit, which was higher than his usual limit over 30 years.
Despite Manley notifying the Nevada blackjack casino MGM and filing a police report the next day, the hotel insisted he owed $2 million for the casino credits and an additional $440,000.
At the current, a lawsuit is underway in the case of Manley v. MGM Resorts Int’l.
The plaintiff (Manley) believes MGM should have acted differently in the matter and is seeking five claims for relief.
- Declaratory Relief: An award of damages and/or equitable relief as a result of MGM’s conduct.
- Negligence: MGM violated their duty of care set forth by the Nevada Gaming Regulations
- Unfair Trade Practices/Deceptive Trade Practices: MGM knowingly took advantage of Plaintiff’s condition, knowing his erratic behaivor yet still raising his credit limit higher than ever before.
- Unjust Enrichment: It is inequitable for MGM to retain funds of Plaintiff’s in a substantial amount, in excess of $75,000.
- Breach of Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing: MGM’s conduct in having Plaintiff enter into written
agreements of their past business dealings constitutes breaches of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
*With no decision made, all claims against MGM are just claims, having not been found guilt or prosecuted for any actions at the moment.
