Sixty Chinese investors are claiming that SLS Las Vegas hasn’t turned a profit since its opening in 2014 and is on the verge of bankruptcy, in a class action case brought in Los Angeles County this week.
These investors lent roughly USD 400 M to the project in 2013 in exchange for American citizenship.
In the class action case, none of the 60 individuals have received their permanent green card, and the plaintiffs are seeking $255 million in damages.
In May, Stockbridge Capital Group agreed to sell the hotel to Meruelo Group, who is now seeking to renegotiate the loans from the Chinese investors.
