Nevada gambling regulators are investigating MGM Resorts International after Michael Jordan's underage son bragged on Twitter about partying at a Las Vegas Strip nightclub.
Nevada Gaming Control Board enforcement chief Jerry Markling said Monday that regulators are looking at whether the casino operator violated any laws prohibiting underage drinking or gambling.
Markling says people under 21 often try to gamble or drink in Las Vegas. He says punishment for venue operators depend on the situation's circumstances.
Jordan's 19-year-old son Marcus Jordan tweeted Aug. 20 about spending $35,000 at Haze at MGM Resorts' Aria Resort & Casino.
The Central Florida guard was in town for his dad's fantasy basketball camp.
MGM management
has long thought they are above any laws in Nevada. They basically have squat all over the community, employees, local regulators are laughed at, and then they wonder why they have problems.
Don't worry Harry Reid will make a couple calls and it'll all go away...Bwah..ha ha ha ha!!!
Don't be so hard on MGM. It's difficult to keep the rules between USA operations and CHINA operations straight. It would be so much better if we were like the communist China. Capitalism without those pesky safety rules getting in the way.
Jordan's son is not bright.
All because of a Tweet. this should be a lesson to all to be careful what you text on twitter or any social networking site. I was Googling a address last night and noticed Google has a feature called Buzz, curious I checked it out, random postings by people in various parts of the country. Someone had buzzed that they made a great pot of chili and anyone who was interested could stop by, I don't think they realized by clicking on the buzz, Google shows the exact location, address, AND PICTURE OF THEIR HOUSE, now that's scary.
70 bottles of booze on the wall...
70 bottles of booze...
Heads should roll if he was served alcohol.
There would've been no excuse for not checking his age.
Yes MJ is a high roller at MGM, but obviously that carries no weight in this situation.
If he drank, someone simply wasn't doing their job.
Fact: in the 1980s, local high schools held proms at local casino gourmet rooms, where waiters served alcohol and looked the other way ... When did Las Vegas get so damn boring? We have lost our soul ...
who gives a crap! waste of resources to even investigate some dumpbag celeb dumping daddys cash in vegas that needs it.
