Guests at Las Vegas hotel stricken


By Associated Press



(Honolulu-AP) -- More than 100 guests of a Las Vegas hotel popular with Hawaii residents have stricken with a virus in the last three months.

A spokesman for Boyd Gaming Corporation, owner of the hotel, said many of the guests affected were from Hawaii.

Spokesman Rob Stillwell says the hotel was given a clean bill of health yesterday by Clark County health District officials. He says the source of the Norwalk virus was neither the hotel nor the charter airplane that carried the guests to Las Vegas.

While the source of the virus remains unknown, Stillwell said the hotel is still taking extra precautions and having employees clean up more often.

Kind of makes you want to plan that trip to Vegas right now doesn't it? It could be any hotel in Vegas - not a comforting thought! If this is only a cleanliness issue, then the hotel name should be given, otherwise it could affect tourism in a negative way. Better that the offending hotel takes its own hit than involve all the hotels who keep a clean house.
