The Palms is suing a former casino host, claiming she misappropriated 
invaluable data including the names and contact information for hundreds

The Flamingo Road property in Las Vegas filed suit Tuesday in Clark 
County District Court against Jessica Hemingway.

The suit says Hemingway was fired on July 9 after it was discovered she 
had allegedly emailed vast amounts of confidential company information 
to her personal Yahoo and Gmail accounts. The Palms is seeking 
unspecified damages and an injunction to require her to return the 
information and to not use, disclose or transfer any of the data and 
specifically not to provide it to competing casinos.

Hemingway couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

The suit says Palms executives learned last month that Hemingway, a 
casino host in the table games department since September 2011, was

review her work email to see if she was taking or sending any 
confidential information to herself or others not employed by the Palms.
