The apology letter comes after the rapper accused the casino of racism last weekend.
In a video released by TMZ on Saturday, the Going Bad rapper was seen in a confrontational chat with security where they alleged that he had been in some kind of physical altercation during a previous visit to the casino, to which he claimed, 'impossible'.
When he and his own security pressed the casino employee for details about the alleged altercation, he backtracked and said he didn't know the fine details and would need to contact the vice-president for further information.
'This comes from way higher up than me,' one guard allegedly said, according to Meek's lawyer Joe Tacopina.
The rapper took to social media to blast the casino for racially profiling him.
'If you come from our culture you should never step foot in the cosmopolitan hotel they just really racist as hell,' he wrote. 'Something really has to be done in Las Vegas what they doing to black people!'
'They telling black rappers they are banned from properties they own without incident ... they just told me I was trespassing and I will be arrested I stepped in that hotel once at a jayz party without incident!' he added in a subsequent tweet.
