Bedbug ‘massacre’ at Las Vegas hotels leads to multiple lawsuits from guests with ‘injuries’

Clients have also claimed emotional damage from bedbug exposure, as Virag noted that the resulting trauma is “super significant.”

The attorney urged resort owners to prioritize guest safety by using housekeepers who are “very adequately trained” in recognizing and eliminating bedbugs.

“Typically, guests don’t put two and two together right away if they have bites on their bodies,” said the attorney representing the travelers.  (iStock)

“They need to maintain proper pest control procedures and protocols,” he said. “And they just have to make sure that when they turn over a guest room, it is free from bedbugs.”

He added, “You want to try to get to a bedbug infestation as early as possible, because bedbugs reproduce at a really high rate.”

For those who may have been exposed to bedbugs, Virag recommended documenting everything.

“Typically, guests don’t put two and two together right away if they have bites on their bodies,” he said.

The attorney shared his expectation that the hotels in question would be responding to the complaint in the near future.  (iStock)

“They’re not necessarily thinking that it could be bedbugs. Always make sure you check yourself before you put your head on the pillow.”

Treasure Island and Luxor have not yet responded to the complaints, but Virag shared his expectation for a response to be filed in the near future.
