The Southern Nevada Health District said they are investigating two travel-associated cases of Legionnaires’ disease in guests who stayed at Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino. The health district said during the last six month in two instances, individuals were diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease shortly after their stay at Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino.
One person stayed during Dec. 2023 and another in June 2024. According to the CDC, the disease is a “serious pneumonia cause by a type of bacteria called Legionella.”
Water sampling after the first case was conducted and all samples tested negative for Legionella, the health district said.
Water sampling from the property’s Palace Tower was conducted in July after learning of the second case.
