The next big sting: Planet Hollywood fined for tenant’s behavior

Thu, Jul 16, 2009 (midnight)

Club Guide: Prive
From the Sun: Planet Hollywood fined (07/15/09); $750,000 fine over Prive (07/12/09)

Attorney for Planet Hollywood Frank Schreck says that his client was made aware months ago of a nine-count complaint being brought against the hotel by the Gaming Control Board due to alleged wrongdoing on the part of tenant Privé nightclub, and that his client “immediately took steps for corrective action.” As the first of its kind to do so, Planet Hollywood accepted responsibility for its tenant, agreeing last week to pay $500,000 in immediate fines, and an additional $250,000 if Privé does not reign in activities such as admitting minors and ejecting inebriated patrons into the casino without care. According to Schreck, at least eight or nine other properties are under investigation for similar circumstances.

Frank Tucker,Greg J., William Richardson? which one of these does not belong , Does Mr.Richardson Sr. and OR Jr. , know where and what their investments have been going and to team up with PURE Groups PRIME suspects? Roman Jones needs to spend more time in Vegas, with the success in Miami think he has forgotten about little Justin Levine in BIG Vegas........more to come............this is JUST the beginning...............

This probably isn't a shocker for the people that have crossed paths with Greg J or Frank Tucker. I think the owners of PRIVE and the executives at Planet Hollywood should do some digging on their executive "management" team. The only thing Greg J and Frank Tucker seem to manage....is to get into trouble.......

PRIVE and Planet Hollywood should count their blessings it's only $750,000....what will it be the next time? They need to cut loose these two bozo's....

Greg j and frank tucker would aways steal money from me and all the hosts..
On memorial day weekend I handed in 16000 in tip money ...to be put in to the tip pool
The next day I got handed 1400 dollars...when I asked why the money was so low...he stated that "all the other hosts didn't put any money into the tip pool".. then I asked for a reconciliation.. greg said "we don't have one"..
There was never any reconciliation..dozens of hosts quit all the time, for the same reasons. their were never any answers...
Another host jeff agar was fired for asking about his tip money. The excuse they gave him for being fired was that he was letting in to many black people...
All the hosts got together and went to the owners, to complain about the stealing/extortion and with holding of our tips...
We first went to roman jones...this guy is a clown...
All he cares about is smoking pot and hanging out with underage girls at Prive..
He didn't even listen to us...he passed us off to justin levine(co owner)...who hired greg and frank...and was very friendly with them...
So at this point we decided not to go to justin levine and go directly to the main owner billy richardson( his dad was bill Richardson, he was 1 of the owners of mandalay bay group.
We told billy about our problems with
Greg j / frank tucker /roman jones and justin levine...and told him everything that was going on....
His response was simple...he said "what do you want me to do" ..go talk to them and work it out....
most of us quit....
I'm glad this happened to planet hollywood...that's what they get for having a bunch of crooks own and operate a nightclub in their hotel.....
