Lawsuit Filed After Bat Exposes Arizona Guests to Rabies in Las Vegas Hotel

Guests from Arizona have filed a lawsuit against the New York-New York Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas after a live bat was found in their hotel room. The families were potentially exposed to rabies and had to undergo treatments, but the bat was disposed of by hotel employees, preventing it from being tested. The lawsuit alleges that the hotel's policies and procedures were insufficient, and the defendants should have known to preserve the bat for testing. The plaintiffs are seeking at least $15,000 in damages.
