A man claimed he was humiliated by "homophobic" hotel staff after they kicked him out of the pool for wearing inappropriate swimwear.
Chris Donohoe posted a video to Facebook showing the confrontation between him and staff at Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas where he was allegedly made to leavebecause he was wearing a speedo.
Mr Donohoe claimed they were discriminating against him for his sexuality.
"I was made to leave the pool for wearing a Mr. Turk bathing suit that they said was not 'in integrity' with the brand of the pool party," he wrote.
"In other words, I was kicked out for being a gay man wearing a bathing suit that was just a little too gay for the Beach Club Encore Las Vegas to tolerate."

The video shows the manager of the hotel telling Mr Donohoe that his swimwear is against their "no speedo" policy, news.com.au reported.
But the hotel's website doesn't list "speedos" anywhere under the prohibited swimming apparel.
Donohue said two men laughed at him from the deck just minutes before he was removed.
Security was allegedly acting on a complaint they had received at the pool.
"I didn't even say anything to [my friend] Veselka because I'm so f*****g used to this s**t," Donohoe said in a Facebook video explaining the incident.
"Two men, walking by me, laughing at me, pointing and laughing at what I was wearing - which I think is fab, by the way."
After sharing the video to Facebook Mr Donohoe made an update saying the owners of the venue had since apologised to him and abolished the "no speedo" rule that the manager claimed they had.
"I'm super shaken by this experience, but it is impacting positive change. Thank you to everyone who reached out with support these past few days," he wrote.
