Settlement Reached: Venetian Las Vegas Class Action

Residents of California who accessed or booked a stay through the Venetian Las Vegas website during a specified period may be eligible for compensation due to a recent class action settlement. The legal case revolves around allegations that Venetian Las Vegas Gaming, LLC improperly disclosed users' confidential information without consent, violating the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA). This article outlines what you need to know if you belong to the affected group.

Overview of the Class Action

Between September 18, 2024, and March 16, 2026, California residents who interacted with the Venetian Las Vegas website could find themselves members of two distinct classes based on their activities: the Booking Settlement Class and the Browsing Settlement Class.

1. Booking Settlement Class: This includes individuals who made hotel reservations via the Venetian website within the above timeframe.
2. Browsing Settlement Class: This comprises those who simply accessed or navigated the website at any point during the specified dates.

While Venetian denies any wrongdoing, they agreed to settle to avoid the uncertainties and legal costs associated with prolonged litigation.

What Are the Settlement Terms?

The settlement will establish two funds:

• - Booking Settlement Fund: An amount of $931,713.50 is allocated for valid claims from individuals in the Booking Settlement Class, with an estimated claims rate around 20%. Eligible members can expect to receive about $71.39 each.
• - Browsing Settlement Fund: This fund totals $668,286.50, dividing among the Browsing Settlement Class members with a 10% estimated claims rate, leading to roughly $3.60 for each participant.

In addition to these amounts, the funds will also cover administrative expenses, attorney fees, and service awards for representative members of the class.

How Can You Claim Your Compensation?

To receive your share, you must submit a complete Claim Form by November 24, 2026. Claims can be made electronically through the settlement website or by mail, with paper forms available for download. Payments will either be sent via check or, upon selection, digitally through PayPal or Venmo.

If you prefer not to participate, there’s an option to exclude yourself from the settlement by sending a written request before the deadline. However, opting out means forfeiting your right to receive any payment and retaining the right to pursue compensation independently in court.

Court Proceedings

The Final Approval Hearing regarding the settlement is scheduled for December 3, 2026, at 10:00 AM in San José, California. During this hearing, the court will address the fairness of the settlement and consider any objections put forth by members of the class.

Class Counsel, represented by attorneys Philip L. Fraietta and Stefan Bogdanovich, will manage the interests of the class at no cost to members. If desired, individuals may seek their private legal representation at their own expense.
