Stewart Loses in Vegas

March 6, 2006

Rod Stewart has learned that, in Las Vegas, the house always wins.

A federal judge has ordered the London-born rocker to pay Harrah's Entertainment Inc., the world's largest gambling company, more than $3 million for canceling a millennium-eve concert in 2000.

The ruling stems from a Sept. 7 verdict in which a federal court jury found that the "Hot Legs" singer should return the cool $2 million the Rio Hotel and Casino paid him to appear Dec. 30, 2000. Stewart bowed out before the gig, saying he was still recovering from throat surgery he had had to treat thyroid cancer several months prior to the date.
