Lawsuit alleges casino staff called Uber instead of an ambulance.
A man died after a critical delay in medical care.
Family seeks over $15,000 in damages for alleged negligence.

A lawsuit filed on February 18, 2026, alleges that staff at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas mistakenly called an Uber for a guest experiencing a severe medical emergency instead of summoning an ambulance. Gary Perrin, 64, became violently ill on November 28, 2024, exhibiting symptoms such as sweating, dizziness, vomiting, and double vision.

According to the complaint, casino workers allegedly dismissed Perrin, a U.S. Army veteran, as intoxicated and arranged for his departure via rideshare. His estate contends that this alleged critical delay in receiving proper medical care substantially contributed to his death, which occurred on December 15, 2024.
