MGM Resorts International was under investigation after the underage son of basketball great Michael Jordan bragged on Twitter about partying at a Las Vegas Strip nightclub.
Officials were examining whether the casino operator violated laws prohibiting drinking or gambling by minors.
People under 21 often try to gamble or drink in Las Vegas, but punishment for casino operators depend on the circumstances.
Jordan’s 19-year-old son Marcus Jordan tweeted Aug. 20 about spending $35,000 at Haze at Aria Resort & Casino.
“Last night was stupid… 35K at Haze,” the U. Central Florida sophomore guard said. “Totals 50K something the whole day.”
The tweet has since been removed from the site and Jordan’s account has been set to private.
Jordan told a Fox Sports website last week that the tweet was a mistake and said he had conversations with both his parents about it.
“I didn’t mean it the way it came across,” Jordan said in a press release. “My family and friends know the type of person I am.”
Jordan was in Las Vegas for his dad’s fantasy basketball camp with his brother, Jeffrey, and teammate A.J. Rompza.
A video posted to Twitter by Jeffrey Jordan shows all three players hanging out at the Liquid Pool Lounge, the resort’s adults-only pool.
UCF basketball spokesman Doug Richards said the school had no comment.
MGM Resorts spokesman Alan Feldman declined comment. The Aria is the centerpiece casino of CityCenter, the company’s joint venture with Dubai World that cost $8.5 billion to build.
According to ESPN.com, the school would not face sactions, however, Coach Donnie Jones could suspend players based on personal choice. The casinos and resorts could face sanctions under federal law.
