Resort sues vacation packager

MGM Grand sued James Liu and his Las Vegas companies Ocean Holidays and Soho Vacations Inc. doing business as Ocean Holidays Bureau Co., alleging they owe the hotel casino $39,776 for advanced bookings and reservations made for 70 hotel rooms for an American Express-Hong Kong tour group.

"The group trip was cancelled because the tourists couldn't get a U.S. visa," Liu responded. "There's no way for MGM to file a lawsuit against us since we never occupied the rooms. The rooms weren't held for us because we never paid the deposit."
