Is tourism dangerous? According to recent lawsuits:
- A 78-year-old woman died after being hit from behind by a revolving door at the Trump International Hotel, causing her to be “violently ejected” on the sidewalk.
- Another woman was seriously injured when a Palms Place elevator fell 22 stories.
- A man died after slipping in the shower at Harrah’s Laughlin. [KSNV]
