Deadline Newsroom - Wells Fargo & Co., a bank that received $25 billion from a U.S. Treasury bailout, canceled a four-day corporate event in Las Vegas as other financial firms cut similar perks amid criticism from lawmakers and media inquiries.
"We had scaled back the mortgage event, but in light of the current environment, we have now decided to cancel," the San Francisco-based company said Feb. 3 in a statement.
The lender also abandoned plans for similar future functions.
The move came after the Associated Press reported the bank booked 12 nights at upscale Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Las Vegas, two of that city's posh casino hotels, as part of a conference for top mortgage officials.
