Casino kingpin Steve Wynn is facing new allegations of sexual harassment that were originally killed by a major Nevada newspaper.

On Monday, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that the newspaper’s publisher had spiked a 1998 investigation into allegations that Steve Wynn had engaged in a pattern of sexual harassment against Wynn Resorts’ female employees.

LVRJ reporter Carri Geer interviewed two cocktail servers at the then Wynn-owned Mirage casino, one of whom claimed the casino had sent waitresses to high-roller villas in order to “accommodate customers sexually.” One server claimed she received payments of between $1k and $5k from each customer for these sexual acts.

The claims were made in a federal lawsuit filed in 1997 by 11 Mirage waitresses who were protesting the casino’s policy that forbid the women from gaining more than six pounds of weight after they were hired.
