people based on their politics.
I know squat about the laws in Nevada, but the way it is in DC, such discrimination violates a District ordinance.
Way back at the end of 2020, the Hotel Harrington announced that it would beclosed to everyone on January 6. That's fine. They just can't stay open for some people and not for others.

Here we go:
Sun Dec 13, 2020: A business associating with the "Punk Boys" and other fascists should be boycotted to ruin
Mon Dec 28, 2020: It would be a violation of DC law for Harry's not to serve someone on the basis of politics.
You must have missed my earlier post about this. Here:

In DC, they stay at the Hotel Harrington. They frequent Harry's Bar on the ground level.
A lot of tourists stay at the Hotel Harrington. A lot of people frequent Harry's Bar. The Hotel Harrington is near everything, and it is within the budget of many tourists.
Neither the bar nor the hotel can discriminate against people who live, visit, or work in the District of Columbia on the basis of political affiliation. Under DC law, that is a protected trait.
Here. See for yourself.

If the law in Las Vegas is like the law in DC, Caesar's Palace has to open its doors to everyone or close them to everyone. There is no middle ground.

Again, this might not apply to the situation in Las Vegas. I suspect -- just a suspicion -- that a lawyer would have an easy time showing that, were QAnon to be denied access on the basis of their policitial beliefs, they had been the victims of an outlawed form of discrimination.
Members of the NV bar, please pipe up.
Thanks for writing.

Cesar was in fact Spartacus's sworn enemy and it was in Spartacus and his men to made the proclomation that they were all Spartacus in an attempt to save the real Spartacus from Caesar's violence.
It's just too reminiscent of the way the GOP keeps rewriting history.
