Major casino-hotel operators in Atlantic City including Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts have persuaded a U.S. judge to dismiss a proposed consumer class action accusing them and a revenue management platform of overcharging for room rentals.
U.S. District Judge Karen Williams in Camden, New Jersey, ruled on Tuesday that the consumers had failed to present enough evidence to let their price-fixing lawsuit move ahead.
Williams dismissed the consumers’ lawsuit with prejudice, meaning it cannot be filed again. The case was part of a wave of new lawsuits claiming the use of revenue management platforms that rely on rivals’ data can be deemed price-fixing.
