Board urges contempt charges LAS VEGAS The National Labor Relations Board has urged a federal judge to find a Las Vegas casino owner in contempt of court. The NLRB contends Barbary Coast owner Michael Gaughan and his resort have violated a preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Philip Pro.

The injunction was to remain in effect pending the outcome of numerous unfair labor practice charges filed against the property. An administrative law judge has been hearing the cases.
