LAS VEGAS (KLAS) Two Las Vegas Strip hotels now face lawsuits after guests were reportedly bitten by bed bugs.

In the three lawsuits filed on Apr. 21, the Luxor Hotel and Casino and Treasure Island are facing lawsuits for incidents that happened last summer. Three people are suing Luxor, and one person is suing Treasure Island.

“The hotel operator has a responsibility to make sure that that room is bed bug-free,” Brian Virag, an attorney representing the guests, said. 

Guests say they were ‘massacred’ by bed bugs: Court documents

In court documents, the three guests stated they were “massacred” by bed bugs and left with scars.

“Housekeeping has to be thoroughly trained,” Virag added. “They have to know how to inspect. They need to really do a diligent job before they turn that room over to the guests.”

Virag shared photos and video that the hotel guests took of bed bugs with 8 News Now. The photos show bite marks.

“They typically will bite in linear patterns. We call it breakfast, lunch, and dinner,” Virag said. 

In the lawsuit against Treasure Island, Teresa Bruce from Los Angeles stayed there last year from June 20 to June 23.  

Treasure Island confirmed bed bugs in multiple rooms: Lawsuit

According to the lawsuit, Treasure Island sent its risk management team to the room and confirmed there were bed bugs. Bruce was then reportedly moved to another room. On June 22, Bruce noticed more bites on her after the room switch.

Treasure Island reportedly sent staff to the new room, where it was confirmed there were bed bugs. 

“It’s on the hotel to make sure that they’re not creating a dangerous condition,” Virag said.

Guest at The Luxor has reaction to bed bugs

The Luxor faces two lawsuits. One is from Stephen and Courtney Gully of Illinois, who stayed there from June 7 to June 10, and the other is from Brianna McKenzie, who stayed at the Luxor from July 16 to July 18. 

According to the lawsuit the Gully’s filed, Luxor sent staff and an EMT to the room after Courtney had a reaction to the bed bugs and felt like her throat was closing.

An ambulance reportedly took Courtney Gully to the hospital, where she was seen in the parking lot due to the bed bugs. She was given narcotics. The lawsuit also states she had to pay for an Uber back to the hotel, and Luxor provided her refund for the resort fee.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re paying $60 a night for a room, or $600 a night for a room. The obligation on the hotel operator is the same – you have to keep the guests safe,” Virag said. 

Guests suing MGM International for financial damages

‘s KLAS reached out to MGM International, which owns the Luxor, and reached out to Treasure Island for a comment on the lawsuits. Neither responded as of Monday night. The three guests are suing for financial damages. 

Records KLAS obtained from the Southern Nevada Health District show that from February to August 2024, inspectors found bed bugs at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Resorts World Las Vegas, Bellagio Hotel and Casino, and Hilton Grand Vacation Club. 

The Luxor and Treasure Island weren’t listed, but Brian Virag told 8 News Now that hotel guests often fail to report bed bugs to the health district.
