He Took It With Him

Looks like he welshed on his marker:
Two Las Vegas casinos have filed a lawsuit against the estate of a deceased Colorado man who allegedly died with $715,000 in unpaid gambling debts.

Lawyers for Caesars Palace and the Hard Rock Hotel said in the lawsuit, which was filed Friday, that Ryan Clark, 52, attempted to pay $565,000 in gambling markers at Caesars Palace with bad checks only a handful of days before his Sept. 6 death, the Las Vegas Sun reported Tuesday.

The lawyers said Clark also owed the Hard Rock Hotel $150,000 after visiting the establishment in August.

"Because Clark and subsequently the estate have failed to repay the value of this benefit, they have been unjustly enriched," the suit claims.

The suit is seeking $715,000 to cover the unpaid debts plus damages and attorney's fees the Sun said.
