Chihuahua Sues Las Vegas Hotel For Fraudulent Charges

imageLAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – A 7-year-old Chihuahua mix has filed a lawsuit in Nevada against an unnamed Las Vegas resort and casino hotel for fraudulent charges on her MasterCard.

In the complaint filed today in a Nevada district court, the dog, Robin, said in a sworn statement that she and her owner checked in at the hotel for a two-night stay for Christmas eve and Christmas day.

Soon after checkout, Robin received an email confirmation of the charges during her stay at the hotel.  She was surprised to see unauthorized charges to her MasterCard, including a 12 percent tax, in-room coffee and resort fee.

Robin is not disputing the room fee of $75 per night, but was surprised about being charged tax, since she doesn’t file income taxes and won’t be able to claim the tax as a deduction.

She also claimed in her complaint that she was charged a resort fee of $30 per day plus tax, even if she did not use the swimming pool (and who does, on winter days?), gym, or the hotel’s wi-fi.

Robin was most upset about the coffee charge because she says she has adopted a caffeine-free diet for 7 years now.
