Harrah’s junket operator denies casino’s claims

Thursday, Jan. 18, 2001 | 11:23 a.m.

A junket representative of Harrah's Las Vegas Inc., who was accused of defaulting on $85,579 in hotel bills, claims he was unfairly billed by the hotel-casino.

Harrah's Las Vegas Inc. sued David Wang and his San Francisco-based company, 888 D&D Corp. doing business as Orient Express Travel Service in Clark County District Court.

Harrah's, which said it hired the defendants in 1995 to bring customers to the hotel-casino, alleged the defendants failed to make one payment of $6,932 as of June 29, 1999, and another payment of $78,647 as of March 6, 2000.

"We have an exclusive account to bring customers to Harrah's. But Harrah' was booking to our account anybody who checked in and spoke Chinese or had a Chinese name," Wang said. "We tried to clarify this with Harrah's. We think our customers owe them only $20,000."
