COVID or no COVID not a pleasant place my 81 year mother who cannot hear had to sit by herself in the ER waiting room surrounded by people who were throwing things, yelling and screaming. People being treated right in waiting room. COVID patients being treated right there in open room in ER and some were being allowed to walk around others in waiting area instead of being isolated. This was not a good look for Las Vegas or this hospital. We were here on vacation and was truly disgusted. It pains me to write this And before haters write back. Most of the staff was very nice and overwhelmed.

Still here after a 60 hour wait in ER. Only reason giving this place one star is because once you get out of ER you get treated with dignity, respect and transparency. ER staff is 98 percent rude and uncompassionate. Had diarrhea and begged just to be taken to bathroom. Nurses will look you dead in the eye and ignore you. They steady blamed each other for who is not doing what. My first two days in that ER I was clueless and No one seemed a bit interested in providing information. Never learned anything until after 60 hours and finally got a bed. Now then the staff outside that ER department was

The facility was very crowded and the wait time to actually receive any medical attention was ridiculous; especially because most of the staff seemed to be idle and not showing initiative in order to help people or move things along. Security is unprofessional to the point of being offensive. They also allow no one to accompany you for any reason no matter whether they're family or friends, which is outrageous when in a situation as such and needing care a well as emotional support or even transportation to and from the facility. As soon as you enter the building at any entrance, which is also
