A federal judge’s dismissal of a cutting-edge antitrust case over room prices at Las Vegas casino hotels has created a court split over the use of algorithmic pricing.
On May 8, U.S. District Chief Judge Miranda Du of the District of Nevada granted dismissal of the Las Vegas class action after concluding that the plaintiffs failed to plausibly allege a “tacit agreement” between the defendants. That is in part because they were not required to accept the pricing recommendations of Cendyn Group.
