Venetian Las Vegas Gaming agreed to a proposed $1.6 million settlement of a lawsuit alleging that its hotel website disclosed guest-record information and confidential website communications to third-party technology companies without permission. Venetian operates the Las Vegas resort website that people use to research rooms, navigate resort information, and make hotel reservations. The settlement creates separate funds for two groups. California residents who made a qualifying online hotel reservation may submit a booking claim with an estimated payment of $71.39. California residents who only accessed or navigated the website may submit a browsing claim with an estimated payment of $3.60. Both figures are estimates, not guaranteed awards, because each payment is a proportional share of the applicable net fund. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted preliminary approval. Venetian denies violating the California Invasion of Privacy Act, and the court has not decided who is right. Claims, exclusions, and objections are due November 24, 2026.
For California residents who made a Venetian hotel reservation through the website while in California during the class period. The final amount may be higher or lower based on approved claims and the net booking fund.
For California residents who accessed or navigated the website while in California during the class period. The final amount depends on valid claims and the net browsing fund.
The claim process determines which class definition applies. Do not assume that estimates can be added together without the administrator's approval.
The settlement allocates $931,713.50 to the Booking Settlement Fund and $668,286.50 to the Browsing Settlement Fund. The official FAQ estimates an approximately $71.39 payment for each valid booking claim and $3.60 for each valid browsing claim. Actual payments depend on valid claim counts and deductions for court-approved fees, expenses, administration, and a possible service award. Approved payments may be sent by check, PayPal, or Venmo after final approval and appeals. Checks expire 180 days after issuance.
