It looks like what stays in Vegas is going to be Rod Stewart’s money.
A federal judge has ordered Stewart to pay a Las Vegas casino more than $3 million for not returning advance money he was paid before he cancelled a concert in 2000.
Ouch!
US District Judge Larry Hicks ordered Stewart’s lawyers to pay an additional $153 483 in contempt-of-court sanctions and legal costs for failing to turn over information to lawyers for casino giant Harrah’s Entertainment before trial last year.
Hicks’ judicial order, dated Friday, put Stewart on the hook for $3.06m, including the $2m advance he was paid by the Rio hotel-casino and more than $1m in interest, penalties and attorney fees. The British rocker and his lawyers are jointly responsible for paying the sanctions.
