Harrah's Settles With Bystanders in Casino Brawl - ABC News

Print

Harrah's Laughlin has settled with five bystanders for injuries suffered when a deadly brawl broke out in 2002 between rival

biker gangs during a motorcycle rally at the southern Nevada casino-hotel.

The settlement comes two days after a civil court jury found the casino liable for damages.

Brent Bryson, the attorney for the bystanders, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Friday that the settlement includes monetary damages, but he didn't say how much.

Bryson says Harrah's Laughlin officials knew trouble was brewing but did nothing to stop Hell's Angels and Mongols motorcycle gang members from clashing on the casino floor.

Three people were killed and more than a dozen were hurt during the shoot-out.
