THE LAWSUIT WAS FILED WEDNESDAY IN FEDERAL COURT ... ADELSON IS SEEKING SIXTY-MILLION DOLLARS IN DAMAGES.
AT THE HEART OF HIS COMPLAINT -- THAT THE WASHINGTON-BASED COUNCIL SAID THE CASINO MOGUL PERSONALLY APPROVED OF PROSTITUTION IN RESORTS OWNED BY SANDS CHINA LIMITED...THAT'S A SUBSIDIARY OF LAS VEGAS SANDS.
