(Daily Mail) Furious guests have posted gruesome pictures of their wounds after some of the priciest hotels in Las Vegas fell victim to an invasion of bed bugs.
Seven of the biggest names on the strip have reported infestations to local health officials in the last 18 months, and experts have warned the blood-sucking critters are certain to return.
And guests at this summer’s World Series of Poker also reported falling victim to unwanted room mates taking advantage of an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Circus Circus which is finishing a major three-year renovation reported two infestations within six months last year according to 8 News Now.
And Caesar’s Palace, where rooms can top out at $40,000 a night, also fell victim to the unwanted guests, along with Planet Hollywood, Palazzo, Tropicana, MGM Grand, and Sahara.

‘F***ing bed bugs infestation,’ tweeted one.
‘Every f***ing time that I’d be residing here in Vegas, I always ended up with red, splotchy, and itchy skin TF.’
‘Bed bugs @ the Horseshoe Hotel & Casino Las Vegas June 2023,’ tweeted Pete Rob.
‘No help or compensation from management only a room change not acceptable.’
‘Had the worst stay at Paris Vegas Hotel,’ added @wilkinz.
‘Room was full of dust and gave me allergia on the first night. Then my room mate got bitten by bed bugs!
‘Hotel did not give any compensation or anything.’
Circus Circus informed inspectors at the Southern Nevada Health District after a guest was bitten in January last year.
