Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - The Southern Nevada Health District is investigating three travel-associated cases of Legionnaires’ disease in individuals who stayed at The Grandview on Las Vegas Boulevard south of Silverado Ranch.
One person stayed at the property in February 2025, while the other two stayed in April 2025. All three were hospitalized; two have since recovered, and one remained hospitalized at the time the Health District received the report.
The Health District does not have additional information about the individuals since they do not live in Nevada.
Following notification of cases, the Health District conducted environmental water sampling at the facility. Multiple water samples tested positive for Legionella, the bacteria that can cause Legionnaires’ disease. In response, the Grandview is conducting immediate water system remediation efforts and conducting follow-up testing to help ensure the safety of its water systems. The facility is fully cooperating with the Health District’s investigation, and has initiated guest notifications regarding the potential exposure, and is implementing precautionary measures to mitigate any further risk of illness.
Guests who stayed at The Grandview before May 7, 2025, and are not experiencing symptoms, are not considered at risk for infection.
Guests who stayed at The Grandview on or after March 27, 2025, and who developed or are experiencing symptoms within 14 days of their stay are urged to complete a confidential illness survey here. If guests are currently still symptomatic, they should seek medical attention and alert their medical provider of the potential exposure.
The Southern Nevada Health District is also investigating two travel-associated cases of Legionnaires’ disease in individuals who stayed at the South Point Hotel. One person stayed at the property in August 2024, while the other stayed in February 2025. Both individuals have since recovered.
Guests who stayed at the South Point Hotel on or after April 16, 2025, and who developed or are experiencing symptoms within 14 days of their stay are urged to complete a confidential illness survey here.
Legionnaires’ disease symptoms typically begin within two to 10 days after exposure to the bacteria. However, people should watch for symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, fever, muscle aches and headaches for up to two weeks after exposure
People who are at increased risk of getting sick include:
- People 50 years or older
- Current or former smokers
- People with chronic lung disease
- People with weakened immune systems
- People who take drugs that can weaken their immune systems (after a transplant operation or chemotherapy)
