"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, with incidents reported at the Encore, Venetian, Mirage, and Excalibur. The Southern Nevada Health District has taken action, issuing fees to hotels and closing rooms if there is a persistent problem. The Nevada Resort Association emphasized that these occurrences are rare and isolated, attributing them to the potential transportation of pests in luggage and clothing. Pest control experts advise travelers to be proactive in checking their surroundings and belongings when staying at hotels.
