The family of a Utah boy who nearly drowned in a Wynn Las Vegas swimming pool in 2023 is suing the company for negligence.

The family of 5-year-old Wyatt Stanley, whose family includes Joseph III, Kelseigh, Joseph IV and Jane, filed the four-count lawsuit Tuesday in Clark County District Court.

Wyatt Stanley was 3 when his father, Joseph III, rescued him from the bottom of the Encore swimming pool and was resuscitated by a doctor and a National Football League coach who happened to be lounging at the pool at the same time.
