I'd think the PR hit alone would be a disincentive to do something like this ... but it's all about the money, I suppose.

Las Vegas lawyer Robert Eglet, who is representing several victims, told the paper that the hotel’s unusual action is a pre-emptive strike to get the cases heard in federal court instead of state court.
It's a somewhat misleading title. It's technically true, but it is a reaction to being sued by the victims.
They didn't want to, and they are not seeking anything from the victims, other than to be left alone.

Judge shopping is what it said. A great American ploy. But the PR hit can't help them.

They are going to eat it in the media no matter what they do.
I think they just want to plow through it as quick as possible, and hope to emerge with a verdict that clears them of any culpability.
In the long run, this might be the path of least harm for them.

An unfortunate situation for all involved. It's neither parties fault, but we live in a litigiousness society, so someone's gotta pay. I don't blame the casino/hotel, any more than I blame the victims. The real culprit is dead and buried though. The only winners will be the lawyers.

That'll teach 'em.
