Stratosphere Appealing Disability Violations

Disabled Rights Action Committee member Tamara Thompson, who is a wheelchair user, sued the hotel-casino in U.S. District Court, alleging guests with disabilities don't have a choice of sleeping accommodations and bathroom facilities that are accessible to the disabled.

But Stratosphere denied it violated ADA regulations and challenged Thompson's claims as moot and lacking standing because it has completed retrofitting a number of the 532 rooms that were built after enactment of the ADA.

Stratosphere, in its appeal to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, questioned whether DRAC and Thompson have standing to file an action under ADA and whether they demonstrated irreparable injury warranting injunctive relief.
