Amber Zabran sued The Nerd in Clark County District Court, alleging she was injured after being thrown from the bar’s “Gyrating Johnson” ride during a Nov. 22, 2025 visit.
The complaint says her foot or ankle became trapped beneath the ride’s main shaft in a large cutout section, causing physical injuries, pain, shock, anxiety and mental anguish.
Zabran also alleges she and her friends were not asked to sign waivers before getting on the ride, which the downtown Las Vegas bar promotes on its website as a challenge attraction.
The lawsuit seeks special and actual damages, medical expenses and attorney’s fees, putting the bar’s safety practices around the novelty mechanical ride under scrutiny.
