"Recent Bed Bug Infestations Plague Las Vegas Strip Hotels"

Bed bugs have been found at four Las Vegas Strip hotels over the past five months, according to reports from the Southern Nevada Health District. The incidents occurred at the Encore, Venetian, Mirage, and Excalibur hotels, with guests encountering the pests and prompting swift action from hotel staff. The Nevada Resort Association emphasized that these occurrences are rare and isolated, attributing them to the inadvertent transportation of pests in luggage and clothing. The health district issues fees to hotels where bed bugs are found and can close rooms if there is a persistent problem.
