Family Sues Caesars Palace After Fatal Illness Mishandled as Intoxication
The estate of Gary Perrin has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Caesars Entertainment. The claim follows his fatal illness during a stay at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas last November. His family alleges that staff failed to provide proper medical care, leading to his death the following month.
Perrin fell seriously ill while at the hotel, suffering from dizziness and vomiting. Instead of calling an ambulance, Caesars Palace employees reportedly assumed he was intoxicated. They arranged an Uber for him rather than seeking emergency help.
The lawsuit states that this delay in medical attention worsened his condition. Perrin died in December 2024, with his estate arguing that the hotel's negligence played a direct role. The claim also highlights alleged failures in staff training, supervision, and hiring practices.
His family is now seeking damages of over $15,000. The case raises questions about how medical emergencies are handled at major Las Vegas resorts.
The lawsuit accuses Caesars Entertainment of negligence in multiple areas, including emergency response procedures. A verdict in the case could set a precedent for how hotels manage guest health crises. The exact number of similar incidents at Caesars properties since 2020 remains unclear without access to court or regulatory records.
