Amber Zabran of Illinois has filed a lawsuit in Clark County, Nevada, after she says she was ejected from a novelty mechanical penis ride at The Nerd at the Neonopolis, a bar on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas.
According to the complaint, submitted last week and reported by KLAS, Zabran alleges she was thrown from the ride and that her foot or ankle became trapped under a large cut-out section, causing injury. She claims she and her friends were not asked to sign waivers before mounting the attraction and that staff increased the ride's difficulty as the session progressed.
Lawsuit Allegations and Reported Injuries
The suit says Zabran suffered "great pain of body and mind, including serious and painful physical injuries, as well as shock and injury to her nervous system entailing mental stress, anxiety and anguish." It also notes that some of her injuries may be permanent, though the filing does not provide detailed medical specifics.

What The Ride Is
The bar promotes the attraction as a novelty mechanical bull shaped like male genitals that guests attempt to stay on as it gyrates. The venue's promotional copy reads:
"Ride it, slide it, stay on top of the World Famous Gyrating Johnson Mechanical Member Bull ride exclusively at The Nerd. Can you hang on?"
Zabran is seeking various costs, including medical expenses, totaling more than $15,000, according to KLAS, though the complaint does not list a precise final demand. The Independent has reached out to The Nerd at the Neonopolis for comment.
Context And Next Steps
The case is at the complaint stage; the allegations remain unproven in court. If the lawsuit proceeds, court filings and any responses from the bar will provide further detail on the incident, waivers (if any), and the extent of injuries and damages claimed.
