Las Vegas Strip & Tourist Accident Injuries

Unique Risks on the Las Vegas Strip

The Las Vegas Strip attracts millions of visitors every year, creating a congested environment where pedestrians, taxis, rideshare vehicles, tour buses, and personal vehicles constantly compete for space. The combination of distracted tourists, heavy traffic, and 24/7 activity creates a high-risk zone for accidents.

Common Tourist Accidents

• Pedestrian accidents — Tourists crossing busy intersections, jaywalking, or struck by vehicles in casino driveways
• Taxi and rideshare accidents — Aggressive driving to pick up fares on the Strip
• Slip and fall injuries — Wet floors in casinos, hotels, restaurants, and pools
• Escalator and elevator accidents — In hotels and shopping centers
• Alcohol-related accidents — Nevada allows open containers on the Strip, increasing impaired driver and pedestrian accidents
• Tour bus accidents — Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam day trips

Rights of Out-of-State Visitors

If you are a tourist injured in Las Vegas, you have the same legal rights as Nevada residents to file a personal injury claim. Your case will be governed by Nevada law. Key things to know:

• Nevada’s two-year statute of limitations applies regardless of your home state’s time limits
• You do NOT need to return to Nevada to pursue your claim — much of the process can be handled remotely
• You should collect evidence at the scene, seek medical attention immediately, and contact a Nevada attorney

Premises Liability on the Strip

Casino and hotel operators have a duty of care to maintain safe premises for guests. When they fail to clean spills, maintain escalators, provide adequate security, or warn of hazards, they can be held liable for injuries.
