A trial involving the owner of the Las Vegas Sands and a Hong Kong businessman has begun in District Court Department 12. The lawsuit, Suen v. Adelson, is expected to continue through the month and into May.
Suen claims that Adelson failed to pay him for his work in helping the Las Vegas Sands obtain a gambling permit in Macau. Adelson contends Suen did nothing and did not have a hand in helping the Sands obtain the gambling license. The lawsuit was filed in 2004 and is being heard in front of District Court Judge Michelle Leavitt.
