Working in the luxurious, fast-paced environment of Las Vegas can be exciting. However, this environment can also be potentially dangerous for the workers which perform the day-to-day operations of the hotels and casinos. If you were recently hurt during an accident while working for Caesar’s Palace, you may be compensated for medical bills and a portion of lost pay. Workers’ Compensation may require Caesar’s Palace to cover the costs and lost wages of your work injury. History of Caesar’s Palace Caesar’s Palace opened its doors during a $1 million welcome ceremony in 1966. As one of the most prestigious hotels in Las Vegas (and the world), visitors to Caesar’s Palace can enjoy Roman-themed decor and events throughout their hotels and casino. The Colosseum, Caesar’s main performance stage, seats 4,300 people and has seen performers from Frank Sinatra to Jerry Seinfeld to Celine Dion. Potential Hazards of Working at Caesar’s Palace Every job carries with it the potential for dangerous mishaps. Caesar’s Palace is no exception, especially since the thousands of employed workers carry out hundreds of tasks throughout the day to keep all facilities running accordingly. Examples of common injuries at Caesar’s include: Slip and falls: Regardless of duty, almost every Caesar’s Palace worker can fall victim to a dangerous slip and fall. In the casinos, fine carpeted areas can become slick with spilled drinks or wrappers. These hazards can be tough to spot--especially in the low lighting. The hotel’s wide variety of bathrooms and powder rooms require constant upkeep, which can also become slippery with cleaning supplies. Even those who prep hotel rooms between visitors can find themselves hurt in the rush. Burns and bumps: Caesar’s Palace includes an astounding array of food and drinks at its bars, restaurants, and morning hotel breakfasts. Chefs, servers, and room service deliveries are kept efficient, but can be stressful for workers. It is easy for kitchen members to get caught up and bump into another, leading to falls, burns, or other injuries. Servers can also get caught in the cramped space or hurt themselves during the rush to get out food. After your injury at Caesar’s Palace, be sure to prepare as much information about the accident as possible. Write down a personal account of the events you remember, both leading up to and during the accident. Get similar accounts from any other coworkers or supervisors that witnessed the event. Try to get photos of the scene where it occurred, especially if they demonstrate the aftermath of the incident. Save all medical bills and record all lost wages to include on your claim. Then, once your information is compiled, speak with Caesar’s Palace HR to figure out how to move forward with workers’ comp. Considering a Workers’ Comp Attorney Getting workers’ comp can be stressful and difficult, especially when you’re trying to focus on healing after a bad work accident.

Consider a free consultation with a workers comp attorney near you to see if their service may be of value to you during your case. *The content of this article serves only to provide information and should not be construed as legal advice.
