Bedbug infestations at two locations in Las Vegas have sparked legal action after four travelers reported severe "injuries."
Three lawsuits were filed in April against two resorts on the Las Vegas strip for incidents that occurred in the summer of 2024.
Treasure Island guest Teresa Bruce noticed bites on her body during her June 21 stay, according to the official complaint. She decided to switch rooms but wound up with more bites.
The guest was "harmed and offended" by the bites, according to the complaint, and "suffered injuries."
Bruce alleged that the hotel confirmed both rooms had bedbugs after sending in a risk management team.
At the Luxor Hotel on June 8, Stephen and Courtney Gully noticed bites on their bodies that were "swelling and becoming aggravated, appearing red, swollen and becoming increasingly itchy," according to their complaint.
Courtney Gully’s reaction was so severe, the complaint indicated, that her throat "felt like" it was closing, and she was taken by ambulance to the hospital.
The Gullys were "forced to purge essentially all of their personal belongings" due to the "severity of the infestation," according to the complaint.

You’ll never feel alone.
I had a bedbug infestation, because my mother brought home some library books. I became sensitive enough to their movements that I could feel them when I was asleep.
Go for the heat treatment if you get an infestation. You won’t regret it.
There’s something about that Luxor crowd that makes me nervous.
You couldn’t pay me to stay in a motel/hotel.
Put your suspected infected stuff in a climate controlled storage locker. The bugs use condensation from temperature changes to get water. With Climate control that does not happen so they dry up and die quicker.
Me neither. Bed bugs and got knows whose DNA is on those sheets. I’m sure Rosa the Illegal changed them. 🤔
Like illegal trespassers, they’ll “hide and ride” until you get where you’re going. Or find them first. Calling tom homan.
I take a small UV flashlight everywhere I go. Bedbug tracings and dirty sheets are easy to see with one.
Yup!
I like the Luxor early in the morning. I play multicard Keno so that area is always empty and the waitresses stay on my breakfast of Blood Marys. lol
I went to Vegas in the 90s and it was much like it was always. Lights, Decent rooms, cheap food , escort ads, and of course gambling.
I went back maybe 3 years ago and I couldn’t believe , it was AWFUL. BUMS and HOMELESS everywhere. I saw fights, dudes taking showers out of fire hydrants in the open daylight in front of McDs. EVERYTHING cost, even free coffee was gone.
But I’ve never seen homeless like that anywhere, most cities have areas with homeless but Vegas, you can drive 4 miles from the center and pick a random alley, look up,it and you will see 2-3 homeless. City claims there are 10,000 and I say that’s a lie. Must be 5x times that.
I swore I would never go back and I haven’t.
They hide in mattresses.
I never unpack when in a hotel - which only happens rarely.
I’ve only been in one place over many years that had bedbugs...but that was enough to make me keep my stuff sealed up and checked over before putting it back in the car.
Only mostly true.
US travelers to third world nations also bring them back.
The US ban on DDT (which was what eradicated the bed bug here) is also to blame.
The who knows who question is always there. No thanks, I’ll stay home.
Had a 2 week work thing in Austin, TX a few times. The rooms had roaches and for sure Rosa failed to clean the rooms. I decided to drive several hours after that which was a royal pain but no bugs and who knows what in the bed and carpet and bathroom.
I had two small apartment houses infest this past year. It has costs $11,000. so far. They can be treated easily if it is done immediately. My tenant waited to tell me. What a mess. the company used heat and chemicals.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll get one of those.
That’s not the worst infestation you can pick up in Vegas.
