Overview

  • Filed Sept. 18 in Clark County District Court, the wrongful-death suit by Heslin’s husband, Scotty Dynamo, targets Javier’s, Aria Resort & Casino and MGM Resorts International.
  • The complaint says Heslin collapsed at Javier’s on June 25, 2024, and alleges staff took no immediate lifesaving action, failed to perform CPR and did not provide an AED.
  • It alleges a medically trained guest who began CPR was forcibly removed from the scene by an employee.
  • The filing further claims employees threatened to arrest or trespass Heslin’s friends and demanded deletion of any video footage of the incident.
  • The suit asserts counts including negligence, gross negligence and wrongful death, seeks compensatory and punitive damages, and notes MGM had no immediate comment.
