Former Dennis Rodman Representative Provides $1 Million Reward for Details on MGM Grand Drinks Sabotager
A wealthy individual who suspects his drink was spiked in a private room of the MGM Grand is now offering a reward of one million dollars for any information leading to the identity of the perpetrator, reports The Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Real estate investor and former sports agent, Dwight Manley, from California, has doubled the amount for his reward that could help in identifying the person responsible for spiking his drink at the exclusive MGM Mansion in December 2021. He's also paid for a billboard campaign in Las Vegas to spread the word about the offer.
Manley, who was Denis Rodman's agent in the 1990s, was invited by the casino management and traveled with a private jet and his entourage to the MGM Grand Mansion. However, he claims that after consuming a cocktail, he was drugged and ended up losing $2 million in casino bets. Manley's complaint filed in November 2022 alleges that his drink was spiked with ketamine.
Disorientation and Loss of Control
According to the complaint filed against the MGM Grand, on December 10 around 1:45 pm, Manley ordered an "old fashioned" cocktail but found it to be bitter. Despite this, he finished the drink and asked for another one. It was at this point that he started to feel disoriented.
At around 4 pm, Manley accidentally smashed a glass ashtray, cutting his hand. While the casino staff moved him to a new table, they didn't provide any medical care other than bandages. However, they did offer him a credit line of up to $3.5 million, an amount Manley claims he couldn't make any sound decisions about at that time.
Later, his friends took him back to his villa, where he collapsed. The following day, he felt like he had been drugged. Upon returning to California and consulting a doctor, Manley's doctor concluded that he had been spiked with ketamine during his time at the MGM Grand Mansion.
Illegal Deeds
Ketamine is a dissociative and psychotropic anesthetic used in veterinary medicine but also used recreationally as a party drug. It can lead to memory loss, incapacitation, and hallucinations.
Manley's lawsuit charges the casino with negligence, unfair or deceptive trade practices, unjust enrichment, and breach of implied covenant. The lawsuit aims for a declaration and unspecified damages.
The billboards around Las Vegas prompt anyone with any details on the incident to visit the new website for Manley's campaign - 1millionreward.com. "Any tip is worth considering," he said in a press release on Tuesday. "Someone knows who did this, and we want to prevent it from happening again. My life could have been in danger."
