Hotel visitors also posted complaints on social media sites regarding the broken elevators.<\/p>\n

Many visitors to the Tropicana Avenue gaming property were forced to use the stairs after most of the elevators were out of service on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

At one point, none of the elevators were operational and guests had to walk up stairs,\u201d according to one complaint. \u201cThis was an issue as the reporting person stated their spouse was handicapped<\/a>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nor did some of the hotel\u2019s elevators have proper permits during recent inspections, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Also, in August and on last Saturday some of the elevators were the site of trapped passengers, the report added.<\/p>\n

Others were made non-operational after passengers got trapped in the elevators on Aug. 30 and Sept. 7. No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

On July 8, Clark County officials received a complaint about non-working elevators at the hotel. Prior malfunctions were posted on social media sites between March and July.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Previously, the casino-hotel had problems with air conditioning.<\/p>\n

Slot Player Allegedly Cheated with Massage Gun<\/h2>\n

A man was apprehended this week after he allegedly used a device to cheat on a slot machine<\/a> at Washington State\u2019s<\/a> Northern Quest Resort & Casino.<\/p>\n

Don Hitchcock, 51, was charged on Tuesday. He appeared in Spokane, Wash. court after he was caught misusing a massage gun, according to Washington TV station KHQ.<\/p>\n

He was ordered to stay away from gaming properties. He confessed to using the massage gun on the slots, the report revealed.<\/p>\n

During five visits over the last couple of months, Hitchcock used the device to interfere with the coin platform on the slot machine, police said. Coins dropped from the payout space due to his actions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Driver Crashes Into Casino<\/h2>\n

A motorist drove into Papa\u2019s Casino in Moses Lake, Wash. on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The unnamed man suffered bloody injuries and eventually made his way into a gaming property restroom, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The unnamed 69-year-old motorist apparently was afflicted with some kind of medical issue before driving into the building, according to Spokane TV station KAYU. He was transported to Samaritan Hospital where he was examined and given treatment. He\u2019s expected to recover.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No word on the extent of his injuries. He wasn\u2019t charged as of earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The casino building\u2019s exterior was damaged from the crash. Police didn\u2019t release a repair estimate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
