What to do immediately after a fall at MGM Grand
The first hour after an injury is critical for preserving evidence. In a busy environment like MGM Grand, conditions change rapidly.
Operational hazards: why falls happen at MGM Grand
The size and specific features of MGM Grand create distinct hazards that differ from smaller venues. Understanding these “operational realities” helps us prove negligence.
Grand Pool Complex Transitions The Grand Pool Complex covers 6.5 acres and features four pools, waterfalls, and a Lazy River. This generates massive water traffic. Guests tracking water from the outdoor pool deck onto indoor polished stone or tile creates an immediate slip hazard. These “transition zones” require constant monitoring and specific non-slip mats. When MGM fails to maintain these transitions, dangerous conditions develop within minutes.
High-Traffic Polished Flooring Like many Las Vegas resorts, MGM Grand uses extensive polished stone and terrazzo flooring in its lobby and casino areas. These surfaces are durable but become incredibly slippery when wet. With thousands of guests carrying drinks from the Centrifuge bar or walking to the Grand Garden Arena, spills are frequent. If maintenance teams are not strictly following inspection rotations, a spill can remain hazardous for extended periods.
Fatigue and Distance Factors The sheer distance between guest rooms, the casino floor, and the Strip entrances creates guest fatigue. It can take 15 minutes just to walk from the West Wing to the pool. While fatigue is natural, it makes tripping hazards like loose carpet edges, uneven transition strips, or unmarked steps even more dangerous. MGM has a duty to ensure these walkways are maintained perfectly because they know guests are walking long distances.
What proves MGM Grand was negligent?
Under Nevada premises liability law, which comes from Nevada court decisions rather than a single statute, owning the property where you fell does not automatically make MGM liable. We must prove four specific elements to establish negligence:
Types of compensation you may recover
A serious injury can disrupt your life financially and physically. We fight to recover the full scope of damages you may be entitled to receive.
Economic damages
- Medical expenses: Current and future costs for emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, and medication.
- Lost wages: Compensation for income lost while you are unable to work.
- Travel disruption costs: For tourists, an injury often means missed flights, extending your hotel stay, and additional costs for family members who must stay to care for you.
Non-economic damages
- Pain and suffering: Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress.
- Loss of enjoyment: Damages for the inability to participate in hobbies, family activities, or the vacation you planned.
Common MGM defenses: the “intoxication” strategy
It is common for casinos to try to shift blame to the victim by claiming alcohol was involved. MGM may argue that you fell because you were drinking, not because their floor was wet.
However, Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule (NRS 41.141). Even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover compensation as long as your negligence was not greater than the negligence of the defendant, or the combined negligence of the defendants you are suing, with any damages reduced in proportion to your share of the fault. MGM has a duty to maintain safe premises for all guests, regardless of whether they are consuming alcohol. If a dangerous condition existed, they can still be held liable.

(702) 633-3333 Free consultation · Available 24/7 Or send us the details onlineCan I sue MGM Grand if I live in another state?
Yes. If your injury occurred in Las Vegas, Nevada law applies. You do not need to remain in Las Vegas to pursue your claim. We handle all local filings, court appearances, and evidence gathering. We can manage your case remotely via phone, email, and video calls while you recover at home.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit?
In Nevada, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years (NRS 11.190). However, you should contact an attorney immediately. Evidence like surveillance footage is often overwritten within 30 to 90 days, and witnesses may become difficult to locate.
What if MGM offers me a “guest recovery” comp?
Be cautious. MGM may offer room comps, meal vouchers, or a small cash payment as a “guest recovery” gesture. These are not legal settlements for your injuries. Do not sign any documents or releases without having a lawyer review them. You could unintentionally waive your right to sue for medical bills.
