The glorious trainwreckery that was the former Kaos nightclub at Palms continues with news superstar DJ Kaskade has won an $8 million lawsuit against the doomed venue.<\/p>\n

A Nevada judge says FP Holdings, controlled by Frank Fertitta III and Lorenzo Fertitta (CEO and President of Station Casinos, respectively), owes Kaskade a mountain of cash ($7,950,000) for dozens of unplayed dates at Kaos, according to Billboard.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kaskade holds the distinction of being one of the few superstar DJs we actually recognize the name of.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The lawsuit says Kaskade was to be paid $300,000 per show for his prematurely-canceled stint at Kaos.<\/p>\n

Kaskade had 37 shows left as part of his residency agreement when management nixed his participation in the Kaos experience.<\/p>\n

Hey, at least Kaskade played full sets. Cardi B was paid $300,000 for her appearance, they only lasted 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for FP Holdings, naturally, point the finger at COVID, as has become a popular go-to in Las Vegas recently.<\/p>\n

Buffets are closed? COVID. Service is bad? COVID. Show tickets not selling? COVID. Residency canceled? COVID.<\/p>\n

Questions remain about the viability of FP Holdings, and chatter is Kaskade won’t necessarily be able to recoup his $8 million. Time will tell.<\/p>\n

\"Kaos
Longtime fans will recall we broke the news Kaos would be called Kaos. Somebody has to do it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Insult to injury, the judge has ordered FP Holdings to cover Kaskade’s legal costs. Ouch.<\/p>\n

The drama around the closure of Kaos, a contributing factor to the sale of Palms to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, is the stuff of legend.<\/p>\n

We were all over the chaos that was Kaos, of course. Our whole “pretending to not recognize the names of DJs” schtick never gets old!<\/p>\n

Wow, Kaos living up to its name. Rumor is Marshmello's out, and it got ugly. Also rumored to be out: Skrillex, Eric Prydz, Armin van Buuren. And, no, we don't need to know who people are to share scoop about them.<\/p>\n
