Horizon casino back in court
The Nevada Supreme Court refused to intervene in the battle between the Horizon Casino Resort and its northern Nevada landlord Park Cattle Co.
The court rejected appeals from Horizon to interpret the lease in the case and dismiss claims it alleges were brought by Park Cattle after the statute of limitations expired.
Park Cattle is trying to evict the Horizon’s owners Wimar Tahor Corp., a subsidiary of Columbia Sussex, owner of the Tropicana in Las Vegas, claiming it is violating lease requirements that require proper maintenance of the hotel.
Court documents claim there is extensive water damage to the ceilings and walls of most rooms, mold and other biological contamination, stagnant water in places and problems with the roofing and exteriors of the building. The company estimates the repair bill could total $20 million.
Wimar Tahoe is countersuing, stating Park Cattle is trying to force it off the property.
