The family of a man who was found dead inside his room from a fentanyl overdose after a robbery by a sex worker at a Strip resort in 2023 has sued the owners of the hotel.
According to documents filed in District Court late last month, Jennifer Jacoby, the widow of Jeffrey Jacoby, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Venetian Casino Resort LLC, which owns the Venetian and Palazzo.
Court documents state that Jeffrey Jacoby, a 55-year-old Colorado resident, was in Las Vegas in March 2023 for a work conference. While staying at the Palazzo, Jacoby met a woman named Cheylee Kessee at a hotel bar just after 1 a.m. on March 1, according to the lawsuit.
