The Legal Duty of Property Owners on the Strip

When a business opens its doors to the public for financial gain, it makes an implicit promise to provide a safe environment. This promise is backed by the full force of Nevada law under the doctrine of premises liability.

The Nevada Revised Statutes clearly outline the duty of care that property owners owe to their patrons or guests. They are legally required to regularly inspect their property, promptly repair any hazardous conditions, and provide adequate warning of any dangers that cannot be immediately fixed. A simple "wet floor" sign is not just a courtesy; it's a legal necessity.

The "Reasonable Standard of Care": What Does It Mean in a Busy Resort?

What is considered "reasonable" care for a massive, 24/7 operation like a Strip resort? The standard is extremely high. To put it in perspective, federal agencies set detailed safety standards for workplaces. For example, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to keep floors "clean and dry" to protect their own employees.

We argue that a paying guest deserves at least the same level of safety and protection as an employee. If a condition would be considered an unacceptable hazard for a company’s staff, it is certainly an unacceptable hazard for you.

Common Hazards in Paradise Hotels, Casinos, and Retail Stores

Our firm has the experience to handle claims arising from any type of hazardous condition on a commercial property. We frequently see serious injuries caused by:

• Wet and slippery surfaces: Can include anything from spilled cocktails on a casino floor and leaks from air conditioning units to slick marble entryways and poorly maintained restrooms.
• Tripping hazards: Might include torn or buckled carpeting in a long Bellagio hallway, unmarked steps in a dimly lit restaurant, or extension cords running across a walkway.
• Poorly maintained sidewalks: Seen in the crumbling or uneven pavement on the walkways outside major resorts on Las Vegas Boulevard.
• Inadequate lighting: In stairwells, parking garages, and hallways, which can conceal other dangers.
• Food debris and clutter: Tripping hazards seen on restaurant and food court floors.

Proving Negligence in a Slip and Fall in Nevada: A Step-by-Step Guide

To win a premises liability claim, our team must prove four key legal elements:

1. Duty: The property owner owed you a legal duty to maintain a safe environment.
2. Breach: The owner breached this duty by failing to fix or warn of a dangerous condition. We must show they knew, or should have known, about the hazard.
3. Causation: The owner's breach of duty was the direct cause of your fall and your injuries.
4. Damages: You suffered real, compensable harm as a result, including medical bills, lost income, and pain.

Our investigative process includes securing surveillance footage, obtaining incident reports, interviewing witnesses, and analyzing maintenance logs to establish these four elements and build a powerful case.

What to Do Immediately After a Slip and Fall on Commercial Property

1. Report the fall immediately: Notify the nearest manager or security officer, and insist on filing an official, written incident report.
2. Document the scene: Use your phone to take pictures and videos of the exact hazard that caused your fall before it is cleaned, repaired, or removed.
3. Seek medical attention: Go to an urgent care or emergency room to create an independent medical record of your injuries that is not controlled by the property owner.
4. Get witness information: Ask anyone who saw the fall or the hazardous condition for their name and phone number.
5. Preserve your footwear: Keep the shoes you were wearing in a safe place, and do not wear them again. They can be important evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions by Injured Visitors and Locals

#faqs_start

I slipped on a wet floor in a casino. What are my rights?

You have the right to seek compensation for your injuries if you can show that the casino was negligent. This means proving management either caused the spill, knew about it and did nothing, or that the spill was there long enough that they should have known about it through reasonable inspection.

How do you prove a property owner was negligent if they deny everything?

Even if management denies fault, we can use other evidence to build your case. This includes demanding access to surveillance video (which often shows how long a hazard was present), obtaining internal maintenance and cleaning logs, and gathering testimony from witnesses and even former employees.
