Las Vegas Treasure Island Slip & Fall Accident Attorneys
Hurt in a fall at Treasure Island?
If you have been injured at Treasure Island (TI), whether slipping on a wet dance floor at Gilley’s, tripping over renovation debris, or falling in the crowded tram station connecting to the Hard Rock, you are dealing with a property unlike any other on the Strip.
Jack’s Got Your Back
Las Vegas Treasure Island Slip & Fall Accident Lawyers
Treasure Island is independently owned by Phil Ruffin, making it the only major Strip resort not controlled by MGM, Caesars, or another corporate giant.
This independence means there is no massive corporate umbrella, but it also means their onsite risk management team handles claims directly rather than routing them through a distant corporate office. Liability here is a patchwork. A fall at Señor Frog’s involves a Mexican restaurant chain, while an injury at Gilley’s Saloon might be a direct TI liability.
With 40+ years of experience as a personal injury attorney, Jack Bernstein understands the specific operational reality of this independently owned resort. He knows how to preserve evidence before Ruffin’s team deletes it and how to identify exactly who is responsible for your injury.

What should I do immediately?
Because TI is privately owned, incident reports do not vanish into a massive corporate void. They go straight to onsite risk management. In Nevada, you generally have two years to file a lawsuit (NRS 11.190(4)(e)), different deadlines and exceptions can apply, and you must act faster than that to preserve evidence.
- Casino/Hotel/Gilley’s: Report to TI Security.
- Señor Frog’s: Report to the restaurant manager AND TI Security.
- Tram station: Report to station security immediately. Jurisdiction here can be tricky depending on which side of the track you were on.
Understanding TI’s liability zones
Treasure Island is not just one business. It is a collection of liability zones with distinct risks and responsible parties.

Proving negligence: the four elements
To win a premises liability case in Nevada, we must prove four elements under Nevada negligence law.
- Example: Excessive sawdust accumulation at Gilley’s creating a slick surface on the surrounding polished concrete.
- Example: If a Señor Frog’s server walked past a spilled margarita three times during a conga line without cleaning it, they had “constructive notice”.
- Example: Failing to place mats near the pool entrance where guests track in water and sunscreen.
- Example: You fell specifically because of the hazard, not simply because you were dancing or drinking.
Types of compensation available
A serious injury at TI can disrupt your life long after you leave the Strip.
Economic damages (financial losses)
Medical bills
Lost wages
Travel disruption
Non-economic damages (quality of life)
Pain and suffering
Ruined vacation
Long-term impact
Note: Under Nevada’s comparative negligence law (NRS 41.141), you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault (e.g., riding the mechanical bull), as long as your share of the fault is not greater than the combined fault of the parties you are suing, and your award is reduced by your share.
“Guest recovery” vs. legal liability
Because TI is independently owned, their risk management team is often faster and more aggressive than corporate resorts.

(702) 633-3333 Free consultation · Available 24/7 Or send us the details onlineCan I sue if I was injured at the Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N.?
That attraction closed permanently in January 2024, so an injury that happened before it closed is already more than two years old. Nevada generally gives two years to bring an action for injuries to a person (NRS 11.190(4)(e)), and different deadlines and exceptions can apply: the period does not run while the injured person was under 18 or insane when the claim accrued (NRS 11.250). If you were hurt more recently by construction hazards in that area during its removal, the ordinary two-year period applies. Do not assume an exception applies to you and do not assume you are out of time; ask an attorney to check your dates.
Is Phil Ruffin personally responsible for my fall?
Generally, you sue the corporate entity (Treasure Island, LLC), not the owner personally. However, the fact that it is privately owned means we deal with a different insurance structure than the publicly traded casinos, often requiring a more direct legal strategy.
Can I sue if I was drinking at Gilley’s?
Yes. Gilley’s is a honky-tonk bar designed for drinking and dancing. TI knows guests will be consuming alcohol and must maintain safe walking surfaces, cleaning up spills and managing sawdust; guest intoxication does not remove that duty, though a jury can still weigh it in deciding how much of the blame is yours. Unless your own negligence was greater than the combined negligence of the parties you are suing (NRS 41.141), you can still recover damages, reduced by your share of the fault.
I live out of state. Can I still pursue a case?
Yes. We represent clients from all over the country. We handle all the legal work in Nevada, so you can focus on recovering at home.
How long do I have to file a claim?
You generally have two years to file an injury lawsuit (NRS 11.190(4)(e)), though different deadlines and exceptions can apply, and surveillance footage is often deleted within 30 days or less. Contact an attorney immediately to send a preservation letter.
