Wife Sues Las Vegas Hotel After Husband's Death

Full Summary — powered by AI

Katina Robertson is suing a Las Vegas resort and its operator, Hilton Grand Vacations, following the death of her husband, David Robertson, in March 2025. The lawsuit, filed in Clark County District Court on August 7, 2026, alleges that the resort’s staff failed to provide proper assistance after David Robertson, 49, suffered a medical emergency in the lobby.

According to the lawsuit, Katina and David Robertson arrived at the resort around 11:35 p.m. on March 13, 2025, for a family trip. Shortly after, David Robertson experienced a medical crisis, with his eyelids moving rapidly and his phone falling from his ear while on a call with his brother, Michael. Katina Robertson then called 911 and yelled for help as her husband’s condition worsened.

The lawsuit claims that resort staff took no immediate lifesaving action and failed to retrieve an AED, which was reportedly less than 100 feet from where David Robertson collapsed. It also alleges that staff did not properly direct emergency personnel when they arrived. Michael Robertson reportedly found emergency responders in the valet area without direction and guided them to his brother. David Robertson was later transported to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where he died.

The lawsuit seeks more than $45,000 in damages, covering pain and suffering, lost wages, and funeral and burial expenses. Hilton Grand Vacations has declined to comment on the ongoing litigation. While Nevada law mandates AED placement and staff training in certain public facilities, private commercial hotels are not explicitly included, leaving AED deployment to individual resort policies. Hotels generally have a duty of care to guests and may be held liable for negligence if they fail to act when a guest is in visible medical distress.
