Las Vegas Sands CEO Sheldon Adelson.
A federal judge today refused to immediately impose a shroud of secrecy around an overtime lawsuit filed by nine elite personal security officers for Las Vegas Sands Corp. CEO Sheldon Adelson and his family.
The casino resort giant had sought to restrict public access to the proceedings because of concerns security operational details would be revealed.
Attorneys for the officers said they would not disclose such information.
U.S. District Judge Philip Pro in Las Vegas today said there are "significant limits" on barring the public from attending hearings and reading court documents.
He ordered the parties to submit a proposed joint protective order that will maintain the confidentiality of sensitive information.
If there are disputes spelled out in that order, Pro said he would resolve them.
