The Southern Nevada Health District is investigating cases of Legionnaires' disease at two Las Vegas hotels, The Orleans Hotel or Casino and Caesars Palace, after three guests tested positive for the deadly bacterial infection. Legionnaires' disease is caused by the Legionella bacteria, which can be contracted by inhaling contaminated water droplets. The hotels have conducted remediation of their water systems and are notifying guests who may be at risk. Symptoms of the disease include cough, shortness of breath, fever, muscle pain, and headaches. Those at higher risk include individuals over 50, those with chronic lung disease or cancer, smokers, and those with weakened immune systems. Preventive measures include maintaining water temperature, disinfection, and monitoring for bacterial growth.
