Las Vegas is not in the same business as Indian and other local casinos and lotteries.

I am an attorney, but this is not legal advice. If you get your legal advice from slashdot, sober up and reconsider tomorrow!
Speaking as an attorney,
Most class action law suits do next to nothing for the plaintiffs
Don't be silly. The plaintiff's each get $10-$100 in coupons (for which their lawyers get 10x that).
and everything for the lawyer,
You misspelled "ambulance chaser."
which is why lawyers doing the suits advertise on television
Please understand that attorney advertising was an ethical violation in all 50 states until the bizarre Supreme Court ruling that it was an issue of "commercial free speech," and understand that attorneys are overwhelmingly opposed to it and embarrassed by the ambulance chasers who have destroyed our profession.
