Gibson v. Cendyn
2023–2025 · las vegas hotel rooms
The Las Vegas hotel-algorithm case is over. Dismissal was affirmed in 2025.
The story
The Ninth Circuit affirmed dismissal of the Las Vegas Rainmaker case in August 2025. The Atlantic City case is a separate live file.
Why it matters
Las Vegas hotel guests were the proposed class. The appeals court said this complaint did not state a conspiracy.
What was claimed
Plaintiffs pleaded vertical licensing of a common tool, not the nonpublic exchange alleged in New Jersey.
The other side
The hotels and Cendyn defended the case as lawful revenue-management software. The Ninth Circuit agreed the Las Vegas pleading failed.
What it means for you
The dismissal stands. A guest with an Atlantic City stay is in a different case, which the Third Circuit revived in 2026.
Bottom line
Gibson v. Cendyn is dismissed.
