- Assaults are another common injury that happens at casinos. When alcohol is involved or large sums of money are changing hand assaults can happen for a variety of reasons. These happen from one patron to another usually but in some cases casino staff has been involved in the assault of a patron
- Pool accidents and drownings have increased significantly over the years due the popularity of the pool party at the casino. Some pools even allow locals to attend with local identification or charge a fee to use the pool facilities. There are lifeguards at hotel casino pools but there still have been drownings.
- Shuttle Bus Accidents, all hotels have shuttles to and from the airport or to and from local events. Shuttle bus and limo accidents can include slip and fall from the shuttle or a vehicle accident with passengers on the shuttle bus.

Red Rock Casino
Believe it or not most people don’t know that in Vegas the number one casino consumers are the locals.
Most locals work in hospitality and may not be able to gamble at the hotel or casino they work at, which is common.
However most locals pick one casino that they frequent for gambling or other events like concerts.
Most locals gamble at least once a week at the casino that they frequent.
Station Casinos recognized this and started building newer casinos out of the strip areas and in more suburban neighborhoods in the Las Vegas Valley.
Red Rock Casino was Stations answer to Southern Nevada by building the casino in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas.
Red Rock is Station Casinos flagship property and the headquarters of the company are located on the property.
Red Rock opened in April of 2006 and is named for the nearby Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
Red Rock is a local casino with only 796 rooms with a massive outdoor pool area and a dessert theme.
Red Rock Casino is made for local sports fans with everything from football to satellite horse racing available.
Since Red Rock is a stand alone casino not located on the strip it is an interesting location for accidents and crimes.
In 2021 Red Rock was robbed of around $70,000 early in the morning.
