Venetian Las Vegas website privacy settlement

Who may be eligible

If you are a California resident who, while in California between September 18, 2024 and March 16, 2026, browsed VenetianLasVegas.com or booked a Venetian hotel stay through it, you may be eligible for a payment from a $1,600,000 settlement. The court-authorized notice estimates about $71.39 for people who booked and about $3.60 for people who only browsed, both pro rata shares that move with the number of claims. Claims and opt-outs close November 24, 2026 and the fairness hearing is December 3, 2026. Filing on the official settlement site is free, and the notice says payments go out by cheque, PayPal or Venmo once approval is final.

The eligibility period on the official materials is September 18, 2024 – March 16, 2026. It is limited to California. Covered: Venetian Las Vegas, VenetianLasVegas.com.

Only the official administrator or agency decides who is eligible. Read the official notice before filing, and file only if you believe you meet its criteria.

How much it may pay

About $3.60–$71.39. Every figure here is an estimate from public materials, not a guarantee: many settlements pay pro rata or only after a claims review, so final amounts commonly land well below the advertised maximum.

The notice splits $1,600,000 into two pools: $931,713.50 for people who booked a Venetian stay through the website, estimated at about $71.39 each, and $668,286.50 for people who only browsed it, estimated at about $3.60 each. Both are pro rata, so the real figure depends on how many valid claims arrive, and administration costs, attorneys' fees and the service award come out of the same two pools. Treat both numbers as estimates.

A $1,600,000 total, divided into a $931,713.50 Booking Settlement Fund and a $668,286.50 Browsing Settlement Fund. Class counsel may seek no more than one third of the $1,600,000 in fees and costs, and the court will consider a $5,000 service award for the class representative. Notice and administration expenses, the fee award and the service award are paid proportionally out of the two funds.

The administrator pays approved claims by Check, PayPal, Venmo.

How to file for free

Open the official claim page on this page, run by Venetian Las Vegas Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 3278, Portland OR (firm not named in the notice), read the criteria, and file there if you believe you meet them. Filing is free: official claims never carry a fee, and this site never files on anyone's behalf.

Never give a Social Security number, bank login or card number to a site that is not the official administrator or agency page.

Why this case happened

The lawsuit claims the Venetian Las Vegas disclosed its website users' guest record information and confidential communications to third parties without permission, which the plaintiff says breaks the California Invasion of Privacy Act. The Venetian denies violating any law, and the court has not decided who is right; the parties settled to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continuing. The settlement covers two groups of California residents — those who browsed the website, and those who booked a hotel stay through it.
