Las Vegas Hotels Reported for Bed Bugs

Updated:

Las Vegas hotels: Caesars Palace, Circus Circus, MGM Grand, Palazzo, Planet Hollywood, Sahara, and Tropicana were recently reported for the presence of bed bugs, and this includes reports of people being bitten. In some of these locations, nearby rooms were closed for two weeks after these reports and treated/cleaned, still, the presence of these pests is concerning, especially since regular testing can be conducted in these facilities in order to ensure, ahead of time, that guests aren’t potentially exposed to them, and yet these hotels appear to have failed to stay on top of that preventative care.

Bed bugs, once established, are notoriously difficult to remove, requiring that property not only be completely vacated and cleaned, but, in a number of circumstances, also fumigated.

Telltale Signs of Bed Bugs

The most common signs of bed bugs include the following telltale signs:

  • Bites: If you are waking up with any kind of bite on your body, you should investigate. Bed bug bites, specifically, can appear as inflamed, itchy pimples, and can be raised or blistered, as well as sporadically or zig-zagged across the skin
  • Blood stains: From biting you in any exposed area of skin while you sleep, which will result in tiny blood stains on your bed sheets and/or pillows that are dark red or brown in color
  • Eggs: While these eggs are very small, they are visible to the naked eye, and often semi-transparent and shiny – they are approximately 1 mm in length
  • Feces: These look like black spots – almost like an ink stain, when clustered – and can be found under mattress steams, or even around the headboard and walls. Some mistake them for mildew or mold
  • Musty odor: Some have described the odor left by bed bugs as resembling coriander or expired raspberries, or even moldy laundry
  • Shed skins: The bugs shed their exoskeletons five times before reaching maturity – they are also approximately 1 mm in length , and often translucent with a yellow tint
  • The bugs: While, for the most part, they hide during waking hours, it is still possible to see one or two, especially if there is an infestation. They are approximately 5 mm in length, and a deep reddish-brown color, with an oval-shaped body. While they do not jump or fly, they do move fast

These critters tend to gravitate towards areas where humans lounge and stay in one spot for a period of time, such as beds and sofas. In order to check your hotel room for their presence, experts recommend turning off all the lights, closing the shades, and using a flashlight to check the beds for bugs, including under the creases of the mattress.

If Your Car Looks Crushed in an Accident, That May Be a Safety Feature

If you are in a car accident, one way the defense will defend their case, is to refute how injured you are. That probably comes as no surprise to you. What may surprise you, is how they try to prove that you weren’t injured, because it has nothing to do with your body or the condition of your body. Rather, it has to do with your car and the damage that it sustained.

Hot Coffee and Hot Food Can Lead to Real Injuries

Why Pedestrian Accident Cases Can be Difficult Cases to Win

When a car hits a pedestrian, it is only natural to make the assumption that it is the vehicle that is at fault. After all, cars are bigger than people, and should look out for pedestrians. So when people (pedestrians) are hit, the cars are almost always assumed to be at fault.But that’s actually not how it happens, in a real pedestrian accident case. In fact, cases where people are hit by cars can be very difficult for the injured pedestrian to win, and a number of factors make these cases more complex than you may initially think.

Getting Blamed for Your Own Accident Can Cost You a Lot of Money

If you are in an accident, you are a victim. And as a victim, it is hard to imagine that you could be blamed for the accident, or for your own injuries. But that’s exactly what many defendants do in personal injury cases. Not only do they blame the victim for causing the accident, in full or in part, but they are legally allowed to do so—and if a jury believes the Defendant enough, it could forever bar you from recovering damages in your accident.

Back injuries. Head injuries. Knee, shoulder, and other joints. All injuries that you would normally associate with accidents of any kind. But what about heart attacks?

But you may be surprised to know that there is a causal link that has been found, between the occurrence of a heart attack, and people who have been in accidents.

Proving Loss of the Enjoyment or Quality of Life

And while malpractice is a risk, there is another risk that is much less publicized: the risk of falls.
