Stewart and the company that owns Caesars Palace were once at odds over a cancelled show planned for the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in 2000. A trial judge said Stewart improperly kept a $2 million advance after canceling the show after having throat surgery for thyroid cancer. But a federal appeals court overturned the jury award.
