Bill Cosby show set for Vegas casino canceled
LAS VEGAS >> Officials at the Treasure Island hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip say they’ve mutually agreed with comedian Bill Cosby to cancel his upcoming performance there amid a growing number of sexual assault allegations.
The cancellation was announced Friday, a day after a Florida woman came forward to say Cosby drugged and raped her after a Las Vegas show in 1976. She’s the fourth woman in recent weeks to make similar allegations.
Treasure Island spokeswoman Michelle Knoll said "it wasn’t a good time" for the Nov. 28 performance. She added that ticketholders will be given refunds.
Other companies have recently distanced themselves from the comedian, including Netflix and NBC.
Cosby issued a statement Sunday discrediting decades-old accusations and his attorney has denied four of the allegations.
