Americans With Disabilities Act violations alleged at LV resort
Friday, Feb. 2, 2001 | 10:52 a.m.
A Disabled Rights Action Committee activist sued to stop the Stratosphere Tower from undergoing further renovation and expansion until the hotel-casino is compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act.
In a Clark County District Court lawsuit, Tamara Thompson, who is a wheelchair user, sued the hotel-casino, alleging guests with disabilities don't have a choice of sleeping accommodations and bathroom facilities that are accessible to the disabled.
The suit alleged the hotel-casino should have made areas including restrooms, telephone booths and restaurants ADA-compliant.
Stratosphere officials declined comment.
