Two Cases of Legionnaires’ Disease Confirmed Among Wynn Resorts Guests

(AsiaGameHub) –   The Southern Nevada Health District has confirmed two cases of Legionnaires’ disease linked to stays at Wynn Las Vegas. The district is encouraging anyone who visited the property on or after September 1, 2025, to complete an anonymous health survey to aid inspectors in understanding the extent of the disease.

Cases Detected Quickly, Property Responds Decisively 

Although the two cases occurred several months apart, the SNHD advises screening for all visitors. One case was reported in September 2025, and the second in February 2026. Both individuals have since recovered, and the property has initiated a prompt, thorough, and comprehensive remediation of its water system.

Legionnaires’ disease is a waterborne illness caused by Legionella bacteria. These bacteria were previously identified in several water samples from the property. However, the most recent samples collected by the SNHD did not detect any traces of the bacteria.

According to the SNHD, the completion of the health survey is particularly valuable for health authorities.

Information from the Public Critical to Health Authorities 

“Completing this survey is critical to the investigation and helps public health officials quickly identify any additional cases and ensure appropriate follow-up. Those who are currently experiencing symptoms should seek medical attention and inform their primary care provider of the potential exposure,” stated the SNHD.

The health survey can be beneficial even for individuals who experienced only mild symptoms or recovered quickly.

While Legionnaires’ disease is treatable, it is highly contagious and can be fatal in some instances. In February, the estate of Gary Curtis Jones filed a lawsuit alleging negligence by the South Point Hotel Casino and The Grandview in protecting guests from the disease. Last March, another lawsuit, also related to a guest’s death, was filed against Harbor Island Apartments, now known as The Harmon at 370, and Coast Hotels and Casinos, which manages The Orleans Hotel and Casino.
