Every year, tens of millions of people visit the various casinos and resorts on the Las Vegas Strip to partake in the various shows, gambling, and fine dining that the city has to offer. Unfortunately, accidents and injuries can sometimes occur on the premises of these hotels and leave guests with immense physical, financial, and emotional distress. But under what circumstances can a person sue a Las Vegas hotel?

Vegas Hotels Have a Duty to Keep You Safe

Under the legal concept of “premises liability,” property owners in Nevada have a legal obligation to make a reasonable effort to maintain their property and protect guests, employees, and licensees from potential hazards that could cause them harm. As such, Las Vegas hotels and resorts who fail to exercise proper precautions can be held liable for any harm that should befall their guests or workers while on their property.

Guests can be harmed in a variety of ways, including:

• Chair accidents
• Slip and falls
• Day or medical spa injuries
• Elevator or escalator accidents
• Food poisoning
• Bed bugs
• In-room accidents
• Swimming pool accidents
• Hotel or casino water sicknesses
• Assaults from inadequate security

From valets to casinos, show floors, restaurants, walkways, and hotel rooms, owners and managers must perform regular inspections and maintenance to seek out and fix any reasonable hazards, such as snagged carpets, poor lighting, blocked walkways, exposed wiring, or broken drains in resort pools. Parties who are injured on a hotel or casino’s premises due to a failure to address these issues may have grounds to sue the casino for a wide range of damages, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
