Commission approves $25,000 fine
Friday, March 22, 2002 | 11:14 a.m.
The Nevada Gaming Commission unanimously approved a settlement Thursday that resulted in a $25,000 fine against the Olympic Garden, a prominent Las Vegas topless club.
The settlement resulted from a three-count complaint by the Nevada Gaming Control Board against the Olympic Garden that could have resulted in a fine of up to $100,000. Allegations made in the complaint included lack of free access for gamblers, acts of solicitation for prostitution by club dancers, and pornographic pictures on the Olympic Garden website.
The club did not admit wrongdoing in the settlement, but admitted the board could meet its burden of proof in proving the allegations.
In addition to the $25,000 fine, the Olympic Garden agreed to establish a policy that will allow gamblers to receive a full refund of their cover charge, and said it would not allow images of nudity or explicit pornography to appear on a website with its name or domain address. The club also agreed to a policy that calls for the immediate termination of any dancer who solicits customers for acts of prostitution or any employee who assists in solicitation.
