San Antonio hotels involved in massive credit card theft

Had the same thing happen to me last April when I stayed at the Westin in Las Vegas, apparently a hotel employee started running up charges on my Visa while I was on a plane flying home. A trusted front desk employee exploited the Hotel's billing system and was able to run up charges without actually possessing my card. Fortunately for me, it was a new card and I hadn't activated it yet, Visa called me at home and left messages alerting me to $Thousands in debt from the Casino on my Visa. Called the Hotel and alerted the Manager but he was arguementative so I let Visa handle the investigation. It was Lucky for me I hadn't used the card, I suspect the employee had done this before and possibly the manager was in on the shake down?
