I'm back from Vegas with a cautionary tale on what not to do if you get food poisoning at the Michelin star restaurant of a 5-star, 5-diamond casino resort.
This is not the story anyone should hope to bring back from a first trip to Las Vegas spent at a top-echelon property.
I'll cut straight to the gist: if you ever suffer foodborne illness in a Las Vegas casino resort, no matter how many stars it might boast of, get medical attention right then and there.
The logistics of following this piece of advice could prove troublesome if you are afraid to venture more than a few steps away from your hotel room's toilet, but be forewarned. Without medical documentation of your digestive trauma, you are likely to find you have no leverage with the resort for compensation.
This is the lesson I learned last week after reporting my daughter's attack of acute gastroenteritis to management at Wynn Las Vegas.
Her illness began about four hours after she ate mussels at Daniel Boulud Brasserie, the Wynn's Michelin star restaurant.
