“A third guest of the property was recently identified as a case, and environmental samples have tested positive for Legionella.” “Remediation of the property’s water system was conducted, and post-remediation testing did not detect Legionella bacteria,” SNHD said. The case at The Orleans Hotel & Casino follows two confirmed cases of Legionnaires’ disease reported in guests earlier this year. Steps to notify guests who may have been exposed to the illness are underway. The most recent environmental testing did not detect Legionella bacteria, the department said. The Caesars Palace customers stayed at the hotel within the last 12 months, according to SNHD. The infection is caused by Legionella bacterium. The Southern Nevada Health District said two guests who stayed at Caesars Palace and another who stayed at The Orleans Hotel & Casino tested positive for the disease, according to a Thursday news release. Las Vegas health officials are investigating cases of Legionnaires’ disease found in guests who stayed at two hotels.
