Disease in Vegas

And we're not just talking about the hookers.  The new City Center complex in the heart of the Strip is having it's problems.  First you had the Vdara Death Ray, and now Legionnaires Disease in Aria:

Six guests who have stayed at Las Vegas' ARIA Resort have come down with Legionnaires' disease since the hotel open at the end of 2009. The hotel and Southern Nevada Health District are now contacting 18,000 guests who may have come in contact with the bacteria.

The six guests who came down with the disease stayed at the hotel between December 2009 and April 2011. MGM Resort International officials say they have been testing their water for some time and did find elevated levels of Legionella bacteria in several guest rooms from June 21 to July 4.

All 18,000 guests who stayed at the Las Vegas hotel during that time are being notified. People will typically show symptoms two to 14 days after exposure.

This is one of the newest hotels on the Strip. I recently stayed in one of the oldest, The Flamingo, and I'm feeling fine.  And I paid a whole lot less than the diseased folks who stayed at Aria.
