They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. But that’s not true for slip and fall accidents that are quite common in Sin City. Blame the city’s frequently changing weather for them, its high foot traffic, or lack of safety protocols in hotels, casinos, or other public spaces, but when you encounter a slip and fall accident in Vegas, you will likely bring the effects back home.
