DJ sues casino over nightclub closure

Superstar DJ Kaskade is suing the Palms Resort Casino in Las Vegas for breach of contract over the unexpected shuttering of its KAOS nightclub in November, after just seven months in operation.

Kaskade, real name Ryan Raddon, says he was left out of pocket by the closure. He signed a contract to perform a residency of 30 shows per year through to the end of 2020.

But according to the lawsuit, the casino abruptly cancelled all three of Kaskade’s scheduled performances in October 2019, claiming the club would be undergoing renovations.

Kaskade was eventually paid for those missed performances, but has failed to receive compensation for a further 37 scheduled shows since the “indefinite closure” of the club, which was announced by the Palms with no forewarning on the day it closed, November 5.
