Three lawsuits have been filed against two Las Vegas Strip hotels over alleged bedbug infestations. Court records from Clark County District Court show that two of the lawsuits name the Luxor Hotel and Casino, owned by MGM Resorts, and the third names Treasure Island. The lawsuits claim the hotels were negligent, resulting in guest injuries and medical problems.
According to News3lv, bedbug incidents were reported at two Las Vegas hotels. At the Luxor, guests Briana McKenzie from Washington state and Courtney and Stephen Gully from Illinois reported issues, with the Gullys stating that Courtney required hospital attention due to a reaction. They said hospital staff met her in the parking lot, and the hotel reportedly refunded only the resort fee. At Treasure Island, Teresa Bruce from California reported an infestation and was moved to a different room, where she said she found additional bedbugs.
Guests are suing Treasure Island and the Luxor, claiming they were exposed to bedbugs during their stays. They are asking for more than $30,000 to cover medical costs and other damages. Attorney Brian Virag, who represents the guests, said, "The hotel operator has a responsibility to make sure that that room is bed bug-free," and "It’s on the hotel to make sure that they’re not creating a dangerous condition," as mentioned by 8 News Now. MGM Resorts and Treasure Island have been contacted, but no public response has been made.
