^ even with physical assult? an attorney could subpoena their surveillance tapes for proof that we were physically held against our will.

@PatrickBateman: They could subpoena for the footage, yes.
While I understand that the legal definition of "assault" could be applied here, I really don't see (from the story anyways) how you or your g/f were actually assaulted. The bouncer did put her hands on your g/f, but that is what they're paid to do. It might be different if they shoved her down, or physically carried you out of the place, etc
Also take into account that the bouncer who started the situation was likely unaware of the whole scene. I'm sure in that profession, they look at everyone as a drunk, careless, potentially out of control threat to the bar.
I'm on your side in that the security staff was wrong in how they handled the situation, but I'm trying to look at it from a legal perspective. Just doesn't seem like the proof is there to warrant a case.
Was your g/f injured? Are either of you emotionally scarred? What damage was caused to you by the incident? Those are the questions the courts will ask.

That shit right there is why I dont really go to Vegas anymore. I have been there 6 or 7 times and that sort of shady bullshit happened a few times. There are much better places to drop your money.

Sounds like a useless lawsuit in the making, further clogging up our already fucked legal system. Have fun waiting three years for a $200 refund.

and then I go to vegas. I win money. get 50% off tickets for the beatles show and pick up a girl from the rhino that is coming to visit me in 3 weeks =)

ifeltdave, thanks, that's some good perspective. it's really hard to put into words how it felt, but there was definitely some emotional trauma on my gf's part, as well as for me since i couldn't physically defend her while she was being handled by these men.
you could see these guys just salivating at the situation. they could essentially do what they wanted and if i made one wrong move, even in her defense, i'd be screwed.
ever watch another guy put his hands on your girl like that?
- Don't know how I'd handle it. That would sure be tough.mg33

how i would have handled it:
• not clubbing in vegas

I wanted to go to Vegas on my 30th birthday in May, not anymore.
- ifeltdave0
I'm with you, my friend.. I would have been overwhelmed with emotion in the same situation, especially since you know that security loves these situations.
Best thing to do I think is write a very strongly worded letter to the hotel about how appalled you are from the situation, and that you will be damn certain you'll never be back at their hotel, club, casino ever again. Who knows, you might get some free chips or a comped room out of it haha. Complaining goes a long way.

are you really that hard up for money? your girlfriend basically f**ked with the wrong people.
1) You didn't say, but she probably had a few drinks too many before you guys got kicked out. She probably had a heart attack because one of the bouncers asked her to move. She probably caused a big scene, started acting loud, and didn't act appropriately, and now the she didn't get treated like the Queen of England ya'll wanna press charges? I bet the female on female domination on the dancefloor was too much for you guys to handle with a nice, "sorry or excuse me"
you on the other hand, was in it for the ride. You seemed to keep your calm, but it was your girl who couldn't handle herself. You're lucky she didn't get you into worse trouble. 8 security guards could have easily ripped you a new hole. But they let you go. and now you wanna press charges? Maybe they shoulda kicked your ass and had their ways with your girl instead. Be thankful for what you have....

beefed up mall cops. aaaaah, great. lol.

If nothing can be done legally, just briefly post your experience on Yelp and review websites.
You figure paying a bouncer $100 he/she would offer the hook up; You had to pay another $40? That's a lot.
I will say, and I have been witness that bouncers sometimes look for trouble on purpose, because they know their security crew has their back.
- $100 should've taken care of the bouncer issue though.kgvs72

Tell us the name of the club.

you're lucky you left on your own two feet. You know how easily people lose security camera recordings and how quickly witnesses come up with alternative stories. Similar thing happened to a friend of mine at a club except when they were trying to leave the bouncer punched her b/f in the face, she then put him in a choke hold (she knows brazilian ju jitsu) and after it was broken up by on lookers they had to wait for the police to come while her b/f went to the hospital in an ambulance.
Dude, once shit gets tense just walk on by or gtfo b/c that little click controls the scene over some tourist any day of the week and twice on sunday. Complain to management, take down names, but other than that just be happy that you don't have problems with how your eyeball connects to your socket b/c that's what's wrong with my friend's b/f after their situation. Fuck it - those places suck anyway

@jetskii
we're not hard up for money at all. i believe i mentioned previously that this is mostly a matter of principal. also your assumption about my gf is wrong. neither her, nor i were even slightly inebriated, and she isn't the drama type anyway.. far from it. i have a lot of respect for her.and about the tip, it was from one of the girls in the group. it was really important to them to make the most of the night, so much so that handing those douchebags a hundred dollars was worth it. some length to go to for a bday party, but we didn't know what we were in for.
