From today's "Inside Gaming", by Rod Smith, in the Las Vegas Review Journal:

"Just when you thought you'd heard the end of bad news from Binion's Horseshoe, it turns out that Angela Runz, billed as in-house counsel, is not even licensed to practice law in Nevada, the state bar told us. Runz signed letters as the Horseshoe's in-house counsel asking former employees to give up all claims against the company for the promised reimbursement of out-of-pocket payments to cover medical costs. In Nevada, you can't identify yourself as a lawyer, as several former Binion's workers said she did, if you're not licensed here. Anyone also would have to explain where they are licensed, if anywhere, the bar said. Lawyers told us a false credentials claim could invalidate any settlements, and further delay the sale of the Horseshoe and its reopening. Harrah's says it hopes to close the transaction by the end of March and have the Horseshoe reopened no later than April 1."

Maybe a real attorney cost too much? Geesshh!
