Circa Hospitality Group Comp Dollars Settlement, Check If Your Club One Account Is Getting Credited, Opt Out by June 21, Chitwood et al. v. Circa Hospitality Group, LLC, et al., No. A-23-882231-C

The Plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit against Circa Hospitality Group, LLC and subsidiaries, alleging that Defendants reduced the value of complimentary benefit dollars earned by Club One members at their properties for both the menu price and associated sales tax, thereby allegedly depriving Club One members of the full value of their earned comp dollars. The case, Chitwood et al. v. Circa Hospitality Group, LLC, et al., No. A-23-882231-C, was filed in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada. The court has approved the settlement — and if you were a Club One member between October 23, 2020, and December 31, 2025, free comp dollars will be credited to your account automatically unless you choose to opt out by June 21, 2026.

Who Are Circa Hospitality Group and Why Are They Facing a Comp Dollar Lawsuit?

Circa Hospitality Group and its subsidiaries operate the Circa Resort & Casino, the Golden Gate, and The D Hotel & Casino — all in downtown Las Vegas. The company runs the Club One loyalty rewards program, which promises members special room rates, casino rewards, dining comps, show tickets, and event and tournament invitations across three tiers: Gambler, Maverick, and Legend. The lawsuit claims that when members went to use those dining comps, they were quietly charged sales tax on top of the menu price — shrinking the actual value of the reward they thought they had earned.

What Did Circa Hospitality Group Do to Club One Members Between 2020 and 2025?

Several Club One members claim in the lawsuit that they were assessed fees or taxes whenever they attempted to use complimentary points to purchase food and other offerings at the three affiliated hotels. The complaint gives a concrete example: one plaintiff, Matthew Stokes, purchased a meal for $23 at Circa’s Saginaw’s Deli, only to find that the point-of-sale system deducted an additional $1.93 in “add on tax” from his earned comp balance.

Counts listed in the lawsuit include negligence, misrepresentation, deceptive trade practices, conversion, breach of contract, and breach of implied covenant. The Las Vegas Review-Journal first reported on the lawsuit in December 2023 when it was filed. This case follows a broader national pattern of companies facing accountability for hidden fees quietly embedded in loyalty programs — similar to the Fanatics handling fee class action settlement where customers were charged fees that eroded the advertised value of a benefit they believed they had earned.

The lawsuit states the class action could involve more than 10,000 people, including those who visited the resorts and signed up for the Club One program.

Circa Hospitality Group denies all allegations of wrongdoing. No court has found that the company violated any law. Both sides agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation. If you used comp dollars for dining at Circa, The D, or Golden Gate between October 2020 and the end of 2025, this case may directly affect you.

Are You Part of the Circa Club One Comp Dollar Settlement?

Here is exactly how to know whether this settlement covers you.

You likely qualify if:

• You were a member of the Club One player rewards program at any point between October 23, 2020 and December 31, 2025
• You redeemed comp dollars at Circa, The D, and/or Golden Gate in exchange for food, meals, and/or nonalcoholic beverages and had your comp dollars reduced proportionally to the menu price and the associated sales tax
• You received a notification email or postcard from the settlement administrator — that means Circa’s own records show you as a Club One member in the class period

You do NOT qualify if:

• You are a director, officer, agent, or employee of Circa Hospitality Group or its affiliated companies
• You are a government entity
• You are the judge assigned to this action, their immediate family, or court staff

Club One Members Outside Nevada — Are You Still Covered?

Yes. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit include residents from Clark County, Nevada, as well as Richard Throop from Bexar County, Texas. The class is not limited to Nevada residents — anyone who joined Club One and redeemed comp dollars at those three downtown Las Vegas properties during the class period is covered, regardless of where they live now.

If you are unsure whether you qualify for the Circa Hospitality Group comp dollar settlement, a free consultation with a consumer rights lawyer can help you assess your options before the June 21, 2026 opt-out deadline.

What Are Circa Hospitality Group Club One Members Getting from the Settlement?

This settlement does not pay cash. The benefit is comp dollars — the same currency you already use at Circa, The D, and Golden Gate.

Defendants have agreed to distribute 800,000 comp dollars to the Qualifying Members split equally between all Qualifying Members. Each Qualifying Member will receive an Award equivalent to an equal split of the total Settlement Comp Dollars, automatically credited to their Club One account no later than December 31, 2026. The Settlement Comp Dollars are only valid for nine months from the time they are credited.

The exact per-person amount is TBD — it depends on the total number of class members who remain in the settlement and do not opt out. For example, if 10,000 members qualify, each person receives 80 comp dollars. If 5,000 qualify, each person receives 160 comp dollars. The fewer people opt out, the more members share the pool.

Qualifying Members will not be responsible for paying any attorneys’ fees, costs, or settlement administration expenses. You also do not need to file a claim form. If you do nothing, the credits come to you automatically.

In addition to the comp dollar distribution, Defendants have agreed to ensure the Club One Program policies and procedures regarding comp dollar redemptions comply with Nevada law going forward.

What Could Circa Club One Members Receive If They Opted for Individual Litigation Instead?

The original lawsuit estimated damages of $3.75 million for the four years the comp program had been in place. Individual recoveries in a solo lawsuit would depend on how many comp dollars each member lost, the strength of evidence, and what a court awards. There is no guarantee of any individual recovery, and the cost of individual litigation would likely exceed what any single member lost in comp dollars. The settlement provides certain, automatic value without any of that risk.

What Should Circa Club One Members Do Right Now?

1. Do nothing if you want your comp dollars. If you do nothing, you will remain in the Settlement Class and will receive Settlement Comp Dollars credited to your Club One account for free. No claim form. No paperwork. Just make sure your Club One account is active and your contact information with Circa is current.
   
2. Check your Club One account email or postcard. Notifications were sent starting May 22, 2026. If you received one, your eligibility has been confirmed from Circa’s own records. If you did not receive one but believe you qualify, contact the administrator at [email protected] or call (833) 386-6570.
   
3. Watch for your credit before December 31, 2026. The comp dollars will appear in your Club One account automatically. They expire nine months after they are credited, so plan to use them.
   
4. Act by June 21, 2026 if you want to opt out. If you believe your individual losses are significant and you want to preserve the right to sue Circa separately, you must mail a signed exclusion request postmarked by June 21, 2026. See the opt-out section below.
   
5. Be aware of the statute of limitations. If you choose to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, be aware that your individual claims may be subject to applicable statutes of limitations, and your right to bring an individual lawsuit could be time-barred if the relevant statutory period has expired.
   
6. Monitor the settlement website at chitwoodvcircasettlement.com for any updates to the credit timeline or hearing dates.

Should Circa Club One Members Opt Out or Object Before June 21, 2026?

What Does Opting Out of the Circa Comp Dollar Settlement Mean for Your Rights?

If you exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you will not be bound by the terms of the Settlement, you will retain any claims you may have against the Defendants, but you will not receive an Award of Settlement Comp Dollars. Opting out makes sense only if you have documented, significant comp dollar losses and plan to file your own lawsuit with your own attorney. For most members, the automatic free comp dollars are the better outcome.

How to Opt Out of the Circa Settlement Before June 21, 2026

To exclude yourself, you must mail a signed and dated written request postmarked by June 21, 2026 to: Chitwood v Circa Hospitality Group, LLC Settlement, c/o Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 25191, Santa Ana, CA 92799. The request must include your name, email, telephone number, address, and a statement requesting exclusion from the Settlement Class in David Chitwood et al., v. Circa Hospitality Group, LLC et al., No. A-23-882231-C. You may use an electronic or scanned signature. You cannot opt out by phone.

If you are considering opting out, speaking with a class action lawsuit attorney before June 21, 2026 is strongly recommended.
