Reps for Harrah's hotel in Lake Tahoe, Nevada are finally taking a stand on the Ben Roethlisberger sexual assault case -- vigorously defending their employees who were accused of trying to cover up the alleged incident.
TMZ just received the following statement from a hotel spokesperson :
"We are confident that once all the facts are brought to light, a much different story will emerge and our employees will be dismissed from the case. It is also important to note that Harrah's Entertainment is not a party to this case and we will have no further comment at this time."
In her lawsuit, Andrea McNulty claims Harrah's failed to properly investigate the alleged incident after she reported it to the hotel's chief of security. McNulty also claims she was told her job would be in jeopardy if she went public with her story.
Roethlisberger, a Super Bowl winning quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has denied the allegations. He has called a press conference to discuss the case for 2 PM EST.

The woman accusing Ben Roethlisberger of sexual assault claims she warned the football star "You don't want to do this" -- but according to the lawsuit, Ben refused to let her go.
ProFootballTalk.com just released more details from Andrea McNulty's lawsuit against Big Ben -- in which she describes the alleged incident in great detail.
McNulty -- an employee at the Harrah's hotel in Lake Tahoe -- claims it all went down on Friday, July 11, 2008 around 10:00 p.m. In the docs, McNulty claims she ran into Roethlisberger in the hotel hallway and he told her that the sound system on his television wasn't working. He allegedly asked her to come and "take a quick look" at it.
McNulty claims she tried to call other hotel employees to fix the TV, but ultimately decided to go to the room to fix it herself. Once she got to the room, McNulty claims she determined there was no problem with the TV -- but as she tried to leave, Roethlisberger stood in her way and "grabbed [her] and started to kiss her."
According to the report, McNulty claims she was "shocked and stunned that this previously friendly man, that appeared to be a gentleman in her previous contacts with him was suddenly preventing her from leaving, was assaulting and battering her."
In the docs, McNulty claims she "communicated her objection and lack of consent," but he refused to stop and began "fondling [her] through her dress and between her legs."

Britney Spears agreed to pay Kevin Federline $5,000 a week while she's on tour. So how does K-Fed spend his first night in New Orleans with the kiddies? He doesn't spend it with the kiddies.
Kevin spent the night at Harrahs Casino -- possibly doubling down on the $5k. Wouldn't be a shock. After all, he has dice tattooed on his wrist.
