Steve Wynn vs Joe Francis: A Tale Of Hookers And Gambling Running Up A Big Tab

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Well it seems as if Steve Wynn is all over the newspapers lately, and not in the best or most appealing way. Besides my previous blog story about being slapped by prostitutes on his own property, him and Joe Francis of the Girls Gone Wild fame have been flinging lawsuits at each other like they are going out of style. Joe has a 2 million dollar gambling debt at the Wynn casino and doesn’t plan paying it off which has resorted the casino in filing a case against him for unpaid debts. Joe Francis comes back with a lawsuit against Wynn and the casino saying that his tab is falsified and Steve Wynn used tactics like providing hookers to run up this debt. Now Wynn and his lawyers have filed a defamation suit back saying that these claims are untrue and are libel.

I just end up giggling at all of this mess that happens in Las Vegas. Only in May the casino had to file suit against Charles Barkley for his $400,000 in gambling debt at the Wynn casino. I think Barkley has since paid it back but has been bad mouthing the casino all over radio shows and appearances that the casino “will get theirs one day”. It’s a casino… that’s their job is to take your money so I can’t think of how they would get “theirs” like something illegal took place.

I had always heard rumors from girls who have worked in Las Vegas for 15-20 years previously as prostitutes and now as girls who answer the phones as escort services, that Steve Wynn used to be notorious for having ladies over at the Mirage in it’s opening hay days and that he was quite a party animal and spender. I am sure he has grown up since then and just likes to make his customers happy now with girls. Do I believe that Steve Wynn falsified documents and the $2 million in debt is untrue? No… I am sure it is completely true because this is not the mob days of doctoring books and the agencies track things really well now. I think Joe Francis has been getting away with a lot of things in the past years with his Girls Gone Wild empire but it’s all starting to catch up with him. Sorry Joe… not everything is for free. Especially girls!
