Las Vegas, NV (AP) - There’s no swimming allowed in the pools at Planet Hollywood resort on the Las Vegas Strip after health inspectors found issues with the water and lifeguards.
Caesars Entertainment, issued a statement Thursday to media saying it was cooperating with the Southern Nevada Health District “to address all issues presented to us” during a June 12 closure order.
“In the meantime, our guests are being redirected to our neighboring pools at Horseshoe and Paris,” the statement said.
The Southern Nevada Health District said Friday the pools were shut down after inspectors found “water chemistry violations” at one pool as well as “inattentive lifeguards (and) lack of managerial control over lifeguards” at both pools.
“They can reopen when compliance is achieved,” said an agency statement, which also cited “a compliance issue involving the alteration of drain covers.” District spokesperson Dave Sheehan said he had no additional information.
The closure comes at a bad time, as temperatures in southern Nevada rise into the 90s with plenty of sunshine in the extended forecast.
