A casino in lauglin nevada?

Question

I was at a casino in laughlin.Around 4am the fire alarm went off.Most of the people came down from there rooms and started playing and geting something to eat.I found out that ther was no fire.A friend told me if it is slow on the casino floor thay might set off the alerm to get people back on the floor to play.My question is.Can thay do that and get away with it?

Answer 1

That's ridiculous. I go  to Laughlin 3-4 times a year and stay at various hotels.  The casinos are always pretty dead at 4 a.m. It was just a false alarm.

Answer 2

No they can't. They do however go off more than you would think. A common cause is a guest hung clothes on a sprinkler head. A security guard where I work told me this.

Answer 3

I would think it would be stupid to do this, because it's like the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf!",  after a while, people may not take the alarm seriously and there may be a real fire.  I think, it's a stupid practice that needs to be stopped.  I bet the fire marshall in that town doesn't know this is going on!!
